The Open Floataround pool at LIBR
space
Favoured by Dr Justin Feinstein* of ClinicalFloatation.com and used by LIBR in their FLOAT CLINIC, an open round float pool is the ultimate float experience.
Floataway developed fully equipped pool systems that could be installed within raised or false floors, or as free-standing units.
The product range included four standard open float pool configurations. Rectangular pools were based on adapted versions of the Cabin ForOne and Cabin ForTwo designs, while circular pools utilised the Floataround base. An open-format version of the Tranquility design was also developed.
“The open-air design completely removes all feelings of claustrophobia. I cannot overemphasize the importance of having an open pool for anxious populations. Without it many of our patients would have refused to even try floating.”

Open Tranquility
The Open Floataway Tranquility Float Pod pool utilised the established form of the Tranquility design, creating an open-format float environment. As with the original design, technical components were integrated within the structure, removing the need for a separate technical pack.
The curved form was developed to allow transport and installation within existing buildings, including through standard doorways and stairways.
Open Pool ForOne & ForTwo
Rectangular float pools developed by Floataway were based on modified versions of the Cabin ForOne and Cabin ForTwo designs.
The Open ForTwo configuration was designed to accommodate either individual or dual-user sessions, while the Open ForOne was configured for single-user use.
These pools could be constructed with removable side panels, similar to the Cabin range, or integrated into the surrounding room design. A separate rectangular technical pack was required, typically located adjacent to the pool or within a nearby plant room.
Open 8’ Floataround & The 10’ Serenity Pool
Open circular float pools developed by Floataway were used in both commercial and research settings, including by Justin Feinstein and at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research. The open design removed enclosure around the user, creating a more spacious floating environment.
Two primary sizes were developed: the 8 ft Open Floataround and the 10 ft Serenity pool. These could be installed as free-standing units with step-over access, or integrated into the floor structure.
Both the Open Floataround and Serenity pools required a technical pack. When located within the float room, a curved technical pack was used to match the pool geometry, with a rectangular configuration available where the equipment was installed remotely.
