Why is there so much salt in the water?

The water in a floatroom contains a high concentration of Epsom salt. This makes the water much denser than ordinary bathwater and allows your body to float easily.

The magnesium-rich water is an important part of the floating experience.

You do not need to worry about swimming or holding yourself above the water.As soon as you lie back, the water supports your body.

For many people, this is one of the most remarkable aspects of floating.
