Is the water clean?
Our multi-disinfection and commercial filtration process performs 10 complete turnovers of the water both before and after each session. This exceeds recommended guidelines for float equipment. We utilize a combination of micron filtration, Ultraviolet Light disinfection, peroxide dosing with oxidation. The heavy concentration of magnesium sulfate also naturally prevents the growth of bacteria and organic contaminants. Our bePods were designed and manufactured with CDC and NSF guidelines for float equipment in mind from the very beginning. Furthermore, all users are required to shower both before and after each treatment making it cleaner than any pool you have ever been in. Don't worry, we are obsessed with water care and take it extremely seriously!
