Ashkahn and Graham respond to a follow up question about cleaning the waterline of the float tank without running the risk of contaminating the float tank solution with disinfectant.

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,
