1. CHOOSE PROPER PLACEMENT
★Choose a preferred location that will stay between 70° and 90° Fahrenheit (21° to
32° Celsius).
★Allow at least 1 ft (30 cm) of space between the Float Tent and the room’s walls
to allow for maintenance and cleaning.
TIP: If your tent is located in a room with a tile or concrete floor, we strongly
recommend that you add insulation between your heating pads and floor.
9

2. ASSEMBLE WATER TUB
To verify there were no punctures in transit, move the tub to an outdoor area and fill up
to ten inches. If you have any leaks contact us immediately.
NOTE: Poles are threaded through sleeves on the water tub.
NOTE: Make sure the open end of corner pieces point toward the center of the Float
Tent. Also, don’t forget to connect center pole bases with the structure strap.
10

3. ASSEMBLE PYRAMID FRAME
Assemble the frame onto the existing tub, then make the final connection at the tip of
the pyramid last.
11

4. PLACE LINER AND TANK IN PLACE
IMPORTANT
VERIFY THE PADS ARE THE CORRECT SIDE UP!
★They will have markings on each pad to verify which side is up.
★Plug in the pads temporarily to verify they werenít damaged in transit. The pads
will heat almost too hot to touch.
BURNS
USE HEATING PADS ONLY AS DIRECTED. CONFIRM THAT
THE HEATING ELEMENT IN THE HEATING PAD IS FACING
UPWARD. WHILE THE HEATING PAD IS ACTIVATED, DO NOT
LEAVE IN CONTACT WITH ANY OBJECT OTHER THAN THE WATERPROOF
LINER AS DIRECTED, AND AVOID DIRECT CONTACT OF SKIN WITH THE
HEATING PAD.
12

NOTE: Heating Pads will overlap in the center.
With heating pads properly placed, cover with waterproof liner and place the tub
directly over pads. The liner should stick out evenly on three sides, but there should be
excess on the side where the tent door will face. With the liner in place, the tub will sit
exactly over them. To avoid damage, make sure tub legs are not on top of pads.
13

5. INSTALL FILTRATION SYSTEM
A. Pump Manifold
B. Water Pump & UV Water Filter
C. Filter Bag (at front of tank)
D. T Fitting
E. 90 Degree Fitting
1. Start by setting the Water Pump and UV Water Filter (B) in place.
2. Once your Water Pump and UV Water Filter (B) are in the right position, screw
the Pump Manifold (A) on top of it. This would be the time to make sure it aligns
well with your filter bag (C) in place. Adjustment may be necessary.
3. Once A,B, and C are in place it is time to add the rest of the filtration line. The
hoses should connect together with some force. Be sure to use the T Fitting (D)
in the middle, followed by the 90 Degree Fitting (E) at the end.
14

6. FILL TANK WITH EPSOM SALT
1. Install Inline Carbon Water Filter to the hose you are using to fill your tent.
p
NOTE: To make sure no carbon from your filter enters your tank, run about 5 gallons of
water through the filter into a drain, or until water runs clear.
2. After adding 2 to 3 inches (5 to 7.5 cm) of water, start smoothing out creases on
the tub floor. Once smooth, continue to fill the tank with 5 inches (13cm) of water.
Add 100 lbs (45 kg) of salt at a time, mixing in fully as you go.
NOTE: If you bought your salt from zen float co., we provide 800 lbs (363 kg) of salt
per pallet and you will need all of it for the first fill of your tent.
3. Agitate water and salt by stirring and mixing. It may be easiest to stand in the
water and mix it around with your feet.
15

4. Once 800 lbs (363 Kg) of salt is added, fill until the water level reaches 10 inches
(25.5 cm).
16

7. PLUG - IN AND VERIFY SAFETY
Plug the Temperature Controller, the Water Pump and the UV Pump into the GFCI
outlet. For safety, the tank water should be electrically grounded due to a possible
induced current from the heaters. Make sure the Grounding Probe is plugged in and
submerged at all times.
Plug everything with the tank through the GFCI provided (120V versions only) or one of
your choosing. GFCI’s cut the power if the electricity ever comes in contact with the
water. If an accident were to happen, they will save your life! Test them once a month
with the test button. If it powers off they are good. Be sure your GFCI is at least plug
height, not lower.
IMPORTANT
EVERYTHING MUST PLUG INTO A
GFCI OR RCD
NEVER PLUG ANYTHING NEAR YOUR TANK INTO THE WALL
DIRECTLY. EVERYTHING SHOULD PLUG INTO A GFCI
DEVICE. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.
17

8. TURN ON AND VERIFY SETTINGS
1. Plug the two heating pads into the Temperature Controller.
2. Plug the UV Filter in.
The first thing you will notice is a slight glow from the UV filter. The Temperature will
now display a temperature detected by the attached temperature sensor.
3. Securely place the sensor in the water toward the bottom of the tank to allow the
Temperature Controller to auto-regulate water temperature through heating pads.
4. Set Temperature Controller to: 93.5º F (34º C)
Anticipate the temperature rising approximately 1º F (1/2º C), per hour.
To set the temperature controller,
single click bottom button to set the
temperature, and use the top and
middle buttons to adjust
To change degrees to Celsius hold
the top and middle (up and down)
buttons simultaneously for three
seconds.
You should now see the heating indicator light turn on and within minutes be able to
feel warmth coming up through the pads in your tank.
18

9. INSTALL TENT COVER
Float Tent Cover will have a tight fit. Work each corner one at a time sliding them down
a few inches each time around.
19

10. INSTALL TENT DOOR
Door poles go in sleeves located around the perimeter of both the tent wall and tent
door flap. Each pole will have a number on it. Insert poles in their corresponding pole
sleeves as illustrated below.
TIP: The poles tend to shift when using the tank regularly. You can use a small piece
(½”x1”) of double-sided foam tape to secure them in place if you prefer.
