My consultant gave feedback on CFROST version 2. It has stated that the hard base is the riskiest concept. It also has the most payoff – because you can change heaters without draining the tank! I’m starting to think Responding to the question “Does heat transfer upward efficiently enough?” – we presume that the float-to-relax […]
CFROST version 2
My consultant gave feedback on CFROST version 1. In this document we refine version 1 to address the criticisms. The interior dimensions of the tank are 8 feet long by 5 feet wide… but a nice-but-not-necessary design goal would be for the pyramidal top to match the ratios of the pyramid of Giza. Target water […]
CFROST version 1
What CFROST Is NOT CFROST is intentionally constrained. The following clarifications exist to protect the project’s purpose, openness, and long-term viability. The initial CFROST build CFROST version 1 tank is based around Duncan Scott’s open source float tent. It is 99% completely inspired by Duncan Scott’s float tent with one variation – the base of […]

If you arent going to opt for passive heating, then heaters with low EMF radiation are ideal – sensitive people will detect the heaters coming on and off and it will disturb them. Ocean Float Rooms use low EMF heaters as do other commercial manufacturers.
The Leaning Tarp of Pisa DIY Isolation Tank
Parts list First things first – room considerations Next, put down insulation and your drip mats: Then put down your under-tank heaters: I think snow melting mats are the most amazing thing out there. But waterbed heaters held down the fort for many years before snow melting mats came into vogue. An inkbird temperature controller […]
The pump plays 2 roles in a tank – filtration and circulation
The pump should be on a timer and circulate regularly. The circulation moves the heat from the bottom to the top and from one side of the tank to another. I’ve witnessed cases where the bottom of the tank was over 100 degrees but the top of the water was significantly coder. I have a […]
Tarp Mahal DIY Isolation Tank
Parts list First things first – room considerations The room you put the tank in has to have a level floor. Use a tool to insure that the floor is level horizontally and vertically.
