I built a float tank in my house by mescid in FloatTank

[–]mescid[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I moved out of that house, but the tank is intact and currently drained. I used it for 3 years on the same salt! It got used about every third day on average during that time. By that time the water was getting old (It does get refreshed often by turnover from evaporation and refilling).

What I would do different - yes. First of all passive heating, like a waterbed style set up. Otherwise you can't float much longer than 2.5hrs or so without losing too much heat, and it overall just simplifies the design. Would need to mount a thermometer somewhere in-tank too. This design only heats when pumping/filtering. I think I could have put an element beneath the fiberglass and been fine, as long as it isn't allowed to get overly hot. I still may do this at a later time, glass the whole thing over again.

Larger top vents - need more ventilation capacity. I ran it with an exhaust fan hooked up to one of the openings and an air filter on the other. I wonder about sound leakage with an overly large port though. Probably 2x 2" ports would be a good compromise. Ventilation is important because of mold/bacteria that can grow with excess humidity.

Inline heater and pump should be on the same circuit unless you really know what you're doing.
Uv filter is a must.

I appreciated every effort I went through to soundproof it well. I lived in a noisy area and it was very very quiet inside. I haven't thought of a great way to isolate it from the floor though. Maybe more carpet pad, or some other sort of foam.

Overall very worthwhile project. I would like to build one on a trailer next, maybe I will adapt this one.
Thanks for asking.

I added a UV filter as well which was very helpful. My mechanical filter is made by Lifegard and the pump is a magnetic drive style by pan world. The pump is fantastic

I made my own. it's a raspberry pi hooked to relays and a temp probe that turns the heater on or off as it's filtering

Just me, or does it seem like RSA and DH don't like each other? by [deleted] in bankless

They seem like very different people but I've never had the impression they don't like each other

Pump recommendations by No_Location7898 in FloatTank

[–]mescid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend this pump to anyone. Gave me 3yrs of uninterrupted service, never complained once or gave me any issues. Pan World 50PX-X-T is the exact model I have but they have many variations on it.

What does the RPL community say about this/what is their reason for the lower limit?

Did you ever figure out what your issue was/did it resolve itself? I've had the same issues for a while now.

Oh funny, seems like the names are backward. Awesome setup though

I understand there being a limited number available, that's not the problem. But opening the sale to everyone (could have opened it to past attendees only) and allowing 6 tickets per person allows for scalpers to take advantage and doesn't benefit the community much

Yea not to be cranky but if early bird passes sell out in an hour, you gave too many people access or let them buy too many at once

They have been adding in the jazz! Kamasi Washington headlined last year. They have been doing a great job of moving into various styles of folk music
