Opening a float center is stressful, and when you first get started, there's a lot of uncertainty involved. Will people keep coming in to floating from one month to the next? Will it be enough to cover costs? What happens if surprise expenses rise up and throw your center underwater.

Graham and Ashkahn discuss the existential dread involve in being a small business owner and what they do to not worry so much about the future of Float On. And also self-immolation.

Ashkahn: Coming up hot and fast, now.

Recently, the float community has been introduced to some companies willing to lease float tanks for businesses. These are usually different from manufacturers and come with a small fee associated with it. 

Graham and Ashkahn discuss the issues to consider when looking at these companies and in what situations they might be a viable alternative to purchasing tanks outright.

Graham: All right.

Ashkahn: Alright.

Graham: Hey everybody.

Ashkahn: Welcome Folks.

Graham: Yeah. ...

Ashkahn: Just saunter on down.

Graham: Good to have you here, yeah. Take a seat.

Graham: I'm Graham.

Ashkahn: Alright and today's question is. ...

Graham: You're Ashkahn-

Ashkahn: It's not usually how this goes,

Graham: You're Ashkahn.

If you're opening a new center and trying to anticipate your business, what's a reasonable amount of paying customers to expect? What about total capacity including free floats? 

Graham and Ashkahn dominate the mic to drop some knowledge on the float family regarding what to expect.

Graham and Ashkahn share what they think is the most time consuming part of running a float center. And then next most time consuming things, as well. A great episode outlining the realistic challenges in taking on management of a business.

This is a follow up episode to Surface Disinfectant for Tank Walls – DSP 335

As for Ashkahn's claim about the Model Aquatic Health Code requiring interior surface cleaning every day and additional surfaces every week, he's absolutely correct. Here is the relevant section of the MAHC:

5.12.10.12A Cleaning

5.12.10.12.1 Daily Cleaning FLOATATION TANK interior surfaces at the waterline shall be scrubbed

or wiped down on a daily basis to prevent build-up of slime and biofilm layers.

5.12.10.12.2 Weekly Cleaning FLOATATION TANK interior surfaces shall be scrubbed or wiped down

on a weekly basis to prevent build-up of slime and biofilm layers.

5.12.10.12.3 Draining FLOATATION TANKS shall be drained and all interior surfaces shall be

scrubbed or wiped down prior to refilling at a frequency necessary to prevent build-up of slime and biofilm

layers.

Other Ashkahn claims:

In DSP 171 - How is the Float Industry Different? Ashkahn stated, "the solution we’re using in our float tanks, seems to be pretty specific and pretty unique to the float industry." Which... yeah, is true.

Ashkahn was talking about humidity in DSP 185 - How to Deal with Humidity in Float Rooms,
