Wellness equipment installations
Cryotherapy - Saunas - Flotation - Photobiomodulation
.
Some of the equipment that our company sells requires installation, and in some cases, small electrical, plumbing and masonry works. We have a specialized team to carry out all these works and that our clients do not have to take care of them.
Basically there are two systems that require installation, cryotherapy and flotation.
.
Electric cooling cryotherapy chambers
Most electric cryocabins need three phases of current to be able to supply the 400V they need to operate.
A refrigerator, similar to an air conditioner compressor, must also be installed on the exterior. This serves to cool the indoor motor and is connected to the main motor of the cryocabin via two water pipes (inlet and outlet) for closed-loop cooling. It does not require connection to the business or home's water supply.

Nitrogen cooling cryosaunas
Cryotherapy facilities using nitrogen systems require outside air. A duct must be installed to guide the nitrogen vapor expelled from the cryosauna at the end of the treatment; otherwise, the vapor inside would lower the oxygen level where the user and operator are located. A mechanical ventilation system is also necessary to supply fresh air from outside. The specific requirements of this system will always depend on the cubic meters (m³) of the space where the cryosauna is installed.
Another point to consider is access. The nitrogen tanks that companies bring in, when full, can weigh almost 400 kilos; the area from the street entrance to where the cryosauna is located must be open, have an elevator, and have a safe ramp.

Float tanks
When installing a water-based flotation system, a shower must be installed nearby for the user to use before and after. Because the Epsom salts make the floor very slippery, an anti-slip system is needed to prevent falls.
The system needs to be emptied for maintenance once a year. It's not necessary to have it connected to a drain or power outlet, but this does make emptying and refilling the tank easier.
It is very important to add quality magnesium sulfate, not the agricultural kind, in order to have clear water.

Whole body nitrogen cryochambers
Arctic cryochambers for whole-body cryotherapy treatments require a nitrogen tank to produce the cold. Unlike cryosaunas, they allow the user to remain with their head inside the cold chamber because they don't inject nitrogen into the chamber; instead, they use it to cool the fresh air that is breathed inside.
The nitrogen tank can be located next to the cabin or behind the wall, as in this installation carried out in the city of Caracas.
They do not require special electrical installation; they plug into a normal 220 or 110 volt household outlet.
They need to be aware that these systems have a very high nitrogen consumption; it is advisable to consult your local gas supplier before purchasing a cryochamber with this cooling method.

Zerobody dry flotation
Zerobody is an exclusive system designed in Italy by Starpool. Its main advantage is offering both physical and mental relaxation through flotation, without getting wet. It incorporates a soft membrane that prevents the user from coming into contact with the 400 liters of warm water on which they float.
It does not need to be connected to running water or a drain. It is emptied for maintenance once every six to twelve months, depending on usage.

Outdoor sauna
The first step is to choose the right place to locate it, taking into account the characteristics of the land and the use that will be given to it.
Outdoor saunas can be equipped with electric stoves, wood-burning stoves, or infrared technology.
In either case, a firm, level base must be prepared beforehand to support it. An electrical connection appropriate to the needs of the heat source is also required.
It is advisable to install such a fence, for hygiene to keep the interior clean, and for convenience to shower when leaving.
