Does anyone on Big Island use an isolation tank?

Im thinking about building a homemade version and thought id ask here first.

My plan is to use a round plastic tank / small pool of about 7' feet (since space isnt really an issue), Epsom salt, harvested rain water and ill heat it with a solar powered thermosiphon.

Anyone know if ill run into any issues with getting the solution to move through the thermosiphon?
Ill probably use 3/4" inch food grade garden hoses but can go as large as required with PVC.

Happy floating.

No haters please...

Thanks,

Mr. P

Sounds like something from the Blacklist. (It’s a TV show or those on BI without means)

Don't know about "The Blacklist", but "isolation tank" reminds me of some kind of torture? Sorry if you think I'm a hater, just seems very weird.

Or "Stranger Things".

Not torture for those seeking an out of body experience.

Just drop some acid-less work and cost.

Sorry, no help here. Not exactly a garden variety activity..

Actually, I did something sort of similar to this about 25 years ago, (won't go into that), Acid or magic mushrooms work much better and are much less complicated and easier to recover from.

Why would we want to? Isn't it more fun to get a hot tub and have friends over? Especially if you're within a pizza delivery zone.

LOL
Oh you regular posters are a hoot!
But for some reason i expected a better quip out of you guys.
Please try harder next time.

I should have stuck to gardening questions, road grading discussions or queries about why the #9 spark plug on my Dodge is fouled, again.

Sorry, that Dodge question is for a different forum.

Please, go about your business, nothing to see here folks. LOL

Its medical, Ive got a neck/ spinal cord injury and any chance to stretch out and decompress the verts is well worth the trouble.
Sorry its not about getting high.
But please do tell an interesting story that starts with; one time i was sooo high or one time i woke up in jail, again or one time i said this thing that was so funny.
Those stories are always the best.

No worries, im sure someone has one that can speak from experience.

Thanks for the laughs.

Mr. P

So do you have any info about thermosiphoning salt water, pool cleaning or getting pizza delivered?

But start with the pizza question first...

I have to admit, I never heard the word thermosiphon before. It's name is self descriptive but I looked it up anyway. Nice to learn new words.

I really doubt your going to find someone on this forum experienced in building one. Kind of a limited audience for such an unusual project. A previous poster was right on when mentioning the TV show Stranger Things. Here are some instructions:
