Blog 2: Float Forward: A Decade of Growth, Innovation & ROI with Float Pod®

By Float Pod® Pro – Innovators of Float OS and Leaders in Float Therapy Solutions

In 2014, float therapy was still a whisper in the wellness world—a niche concept spoken quietly among biohackers, athletes, and early adopters seeking physical and mental relief. Fast forward to 2025, and the float industry is no longer emerging—it’s expanding. Thriving. Validated. At Float Pod® Pro, we’ve not only witnessed this transformation—we’ve engineered it.

We’re not just building float tanks anymore.

We’re building the operating system of a smarter, simpler, and more scalable float future.

The Rise of Floating: A Decade of Demand

Since our inception over a decade ago, we’ve seen float therapy transition from curiosity to cornerstone. In 2014, the idea of lying weightless in a pod of Epsom salt water for 60 minutes was still considered alternative. Today, floating is found in universities, airports, athletic recovery centers, boutique spas, and even mainstream franchises.

Why? Because it works.

Floating relieves stress.
Floating reduces pain.
Floating improves sleep, boosts creativity, and accelerates physical recovery.

The science caught up. The data became undeniable. And the public responded.

From a few thousand floats per year in 2014 to hundreds of thousands annually across North America today, the momentum is real. But here’s the bigger truth:

The float industry didn’t just grow. It matured. And now it’s ready to scale.

Why Now: The Float Pod® Pro Era

Enter Float Pod® Pro, the next evolution of our original brand Float Pod®. More than just a product, it’s a platform. A performance-driven, professionally engineered Smart Series of float therapy solutions, made exclusively in the United States and powered by our proprietary Float OS.

Whether you choose our new Float Pod® Pro or Float Pool Pro, your investment includes not only world-class engineering—but complete hands-free automation through Float OS.

What Is Float OS?

Think of it as the iOS of your spa.
A smart, seamless operating system designed to manage your float spa without constant staff input.

With Float OS, business owners unlock:

• Real-time monitoring of water temperature, filtration, and leak detection.

• Smart Hub controls with iPad interface—intuitive, sleek, and powerful.

• Automation tools like Pro Switches for session timing, cleaning cycles, and lighting.

• Built-in intercom and audio systems for personalized guest experiences.

• REST RTM Monitoring—a real-time data dashboard that reduces downtime and protects your investment.

ROI That Makes Sense

Let’s talk numbers. Because while floating is therapeutic, the opportunity is also financially rewarding.

Here’s a conservative breakdown:

• Average session price: $60–$80

• Floats per day per pod: 3–4

• Revenue per month per pod: $5,400–$9,600

• Annual revenue potential (1 pod): $60,000–$115,000+

Many of our clients operate with 2–4 Float Pod® Pros, yielding $120,000–$400,000+ in annual recurring revenue.

With startup costs between $30,000–$40,000 per unit, most spa owners break even within the first 12–18 months—and that’s without memberships, cross-sells, or additional services like sauna and sound therapy.

A Smarter Investment in Wellness

The question isn’t “Is floating worth it?”
It’s “How do I offer the best float experience in the smartest, most scalable way possible?”

That’s what Float Pod® Pro is designed to answer.

We’re not selling a float tank.
We’re offering a smart, supported platform to launch or grow your wellness business.
We’re giving you the tools to elevate your operations and deliver consistent, premium float experiences—without complexity.

Made in the USA. Designed for the World.

Every Float Pod® Pro, Pool Pro, and Smart Filter System is manufactured in the U.S. with meticulous care. We don’t outsource. We don’t compromise. And with over 500 Float Pods installed in more than 300 locations, our track record is proven.

Whether you’re opening your first float spa, expanding an existing wellness center, or adding revenue to a gym, resort, or hotel, we’ve created a platform that works for you—and your clients.

Looking Ahead: The Next 10 Years

We believe that the next decade of float therapy won’t just be about better float tanks—it will be about better float operations.

• Smart facilities.

• Remote management.

• Higher guest satisfaction.

• Automated scheduling, cleaning, and client communication.

Float OS is the future of that vision—and it’s available now.

Final Thoughts from the Founding Team

In 2013, we set out to help bring floating to the world. While our early partners Nick and Holly launched the first float spa franchise in the country, we remained focused on building the equipment that would power the entire industry. To date, Float Pod® has powered over 300 independent locations, beyond the franchise model—giving entrepreneurs direct control over their wellness businesses.

Now, with Float Pod® Pro and Float OS, we’ve built something even better. More accessible. More scalable. More profitable.

And we're just getting started.
