Float tanks are recreational water baths with high concentrations of MgSO4 that provide a sensory deprivation experience. Many float tank facilities rely on chlorine as a disinfectant, but MgSO4 can interfere with chlorine test kit results. This presentation will address knowledge gaps in float tank water quality best management practices, including the need for more research on chlorine test kit accuracy in water with MgSO4.
