So I just wanted to, again, just wanted to mention it because I think that was a good aside and the question that’s worth highlighting.Īshkahn: That was our scary fact for the episode.Īshkahn: So all the stuff through pumps are pumping and pumping. And I think that’s one of the scariest things. If the noise is kind of coming through and too loud then you have a very short distance between where someone’s head and hair is where the pump is. Entrapment is just like if your pump is in the same room as the tank and they’re really close together, which it sounds like they are for the person sending in the question. Graham: I mean one of the biggest things I guess to just know about your system and in my mind that can lead to especially kind of hair entanglement. You have to look at your actual float tank and again there’s entrapment because of suction and there’s entrapment because of hair going through and different things like that to consider, but it’s a good thing to know about and to realize if your float tank doesn’t have those kind of safeguards and you really don’t want to be running the pump while somebody is in there because it could potentially be dangerous. So this isn’t really like a universal thing. There are ways to design float tanks that can alleviate those. If they don’t have some other pipe and or hair can get sucked up into a system like that these are kind of the dangers that are very realistic and could happen. It’s scary having the pump turn on when there were people in there.Īshkahn: So there are things you can, there’s potentially a danger that a pump running while somebody inside the system could lead to what they call entrapment, where if a part of their body blocks the pipe sucking liquid in, that could cause them to be kind of vacuumed on to it. Graham: Actually what are we doing here? What are our questions? So, I mean, I guess first of all like, I think one of the basics is this idea of not running the pump when people are in the tank, which is worth mentioning again, and it’s something we’ve warned about on this podcast before. Graham: But things don’t happen like that.Īshkahn: Well, let’s talk about the basics. And like all the dirty water goes in and just clean water is likes kksssshhhhh just in there.Īshkahn: You’ll get a cool sound effects so. Graham: Ideally it would be instantaneous. That’s what it means.Īshkahn: And so there’s obviously a huge benefit to being able to run your pump for less time because it just means all of this goes easier for your transition and you can get people in earlier. Like I’d say, the most common transition time between customers is 30 minutes and that’s kind of the time from when you turn on the music for one person to get out of the tank till when the next customer has the room to themselves to kind of shower off and start floating, at least in our center. Graham: And it’s a pretty common situation too. How long do I need to run my pump for? I’m following your advice of not running it while people are in the tank, but I don’t even like running it while they’re still in the room because of the noise.” I hear you. Graham: Q and A podcast question is “I have 30 minutes between every customer. And we got a question in the meantime which will kind of fulfill our obligation here is-Īshkahn: It’s called Daily podcast thing. Graham: So again, that was kind of rumbly, but the main thing, Thursday, November 29, 3:00 to 5:00 PM Pacific Time. But if you all the other ones, you’ll be updated as to what’s going on when our live episode is. Graham: But going to go on our Facebook page, subscribe to our mailing list. Eventually it will be or maybe right now in the show and that’s not really sure if it’s there then cool. And we’re going to have information about like how you can call in and stuff. Otherwise they can be dead.Īshkahn: And you can call in with questions and it’s going to be great. Graham: Until, let’s say three to five since confusing. November 29th, three o’clock to five o’clock. Coming up into this month.Īshkahn: That’s right. Graham: Which means it’ll be the last one and it’s going to be a doozy. Graham: You’re listening to the Daily Solutions podcast, in case the intro didn’t make that clear.Īshkahn: I guess we didn’t really mentioned that explicitly, but I think you’ve got the right message across.
