Accessories Alphabetically
Digital Alarm
This is an inexpensive alternative to a sound system. It provides a short alarm (sound or music of your choosing) to use with either timing system to notify floaters that their time is up. Using the Digital Alarm, you can eliminate the use of a sound system or use the Alarm to signal the end of a float and have a sound system to listen to while floating.
Digital Temperature Control
You are provided with a standard temperature controller. We also offer a custom made temperature controller with 2 digital displays. Accurate to 1/10 of a degree and with the durability of industrial rated components. This is a choice controller. One display shows the temperature you want the tank to be and the other shows the actual temperature. Highly recommended for a public installation to give you an instant readout of the water temperature as a troubleshooting device. This control also allows you to lock the setting in place so that only authorized staff can make changes.
Earplugs
Disposable earplugs for people who have had ear problems or don't like water in their ears. Bags of 50. These should be offered to all first time floaters.
Floater Comfort Control
Allows people with different temperature preferences to be comfortable. A must if more than one person is going to float in the tank. You set the tank temperature to be comfortable for people who like it cooler. When a floater needs it warmer, they push a button and a radiant heater instantly makes it comfortable. (It would take lots of time and energy to change the water temperature. And if the still body is submersed in water for any time, it quickly becomes uncomfortable if the temperature is even a 1/3 of a degree off.)
Filtration System Cover
A cosmetic treatment of the tank maintenance department - pump, filter, hoses, and cords. Easy to get into for service and it is made of the same material as your tank so it looks excellent.
Light
This light is installed below the water line, (it looks like a pool light), and comes with its own air switch so it can be safely turned on and off from inside the tank. First time floaters find this a more useful option than leaving the door open if they want the comfort of light.
Motor Protector
Protects your pump motor by causing an automatic shut off if there is anything preventing the free flow of water. This might happen if your pump is turned on by an automatic system and no one was attending it to notice the lack of motion. Recommended if you get either timing system.
Ozonator
Ozone (a highly active form of oxygen) sterilizes the tank solution to minimize the addition of chemicals. If you have a tank in your business it is wise to use either this or the Ultraviolet System to help keep your solution sparkling. They give your customers an extra feeling of safety by utilizing both chemicals and either UV or ozone.
Professional Timing System
If you have a professional office where tanks are offered, and you want everything to be handled automatically leaving the staff free to work with clients, and you want to provide complete privacy for your clients, this system is the one for you.It allows you to trigger a series of timed events of your equipment with the press of a button. For example, you can have 1 minute of music signal the end of a float and then have the filtration system run for 20 minutes to get the tank ready for the next person. Once this sequence of timed operations is entered it can be activated at the beginning of any float with the push of a button . You can define numerous sequences. Each system comes with switches for three pieces of equipment. Two for low wattage and one for high wattage equipment like the Filtration System. Additional low and high wattage switches are available. Comes with easy to follow instructions. One system will handle two tanks. The second tank only requires two additional low wattage switches and one high wattage switch.
Remote Control and Timing System
Allows you to conveniently control and time various electrical equipment connected to your tank (such as the filtration system or a sound system). Besides timing the filtering of your solution, it is used to let a floater know their time is up by switching on a Digital Alarm or a Sound System. This is very useful to use for one float a day. For more floats a day, get the Professional Timing System. Comes with the ability to control 2 pieces of equipment, one low wattage and one high wattage like the Filtration System.You can increase the number of pieces of equipment that is controlled by getting more Remote Switches. The optional Motor Protector is highly recommended if you are going to start the Filtration System when you are not physically present.
Sound Isolators
These small pads isolate the tank from the only sound problem - vibrations entering your tank by way of the floor (such as heavy traffic nearby or loud machinery in the building). Most installations don't need them. If there is a sound you are concerned about, perform the following test to determine whether you need the Isolators. When the sound it happening, place your ear against a wall, cover the other ear and listen. The sound will be slightly less in the tank. With the Sound Isolators the sound will be significantly less. If you need them, you will need to supply a piece of plywood to place between the tank and the Isolators.
Sound System
A cassette sound system for your tank. Works with the timing systems. Most cassette decks can be turned off remotely but then they cannot be turned on again. This one can. For use with the optional in tank speaker, external speakers are supplied.
Speakers
Adds the ability to listen to audiotapes, CDs, ...They require a sound system producing 10 watts per channel. They are installed in the base of your tank to supply the best sound distribution so you don't want to retrofit these. If you think you will want sound at some time, it is best to install them when you set up your tank.
Tray
Use as a "drip zone" in front of your tank for those who don't have the shower right there. Specially made for us, 18 1/2" wide x 34 1/2" long x 21/2" deep, Same white material as the tank. You can lay a towel inside for quick cleanup. Highly recommended for "housekeeping".
