Tanks and checks

Each float tank has a name, maximum session duration and operating status: ready, cleaning or maintenance. It also carries the time and source evidence of a status change, with review status and reviewer details. A session can point to its assigned tank. That connection helps the Studio Manager see a readiness concern in the same operating chain as the bookings that depend on the session.

A tank check is a separate evidence record. It identifies the tank, checker and check time, with water temperature and sanitation result. The review fields let a Tank Reviewer examine the evidence and record whether it was accepted or rejected. A check may also link to a booking and to a prior check it supersedes. Keep those links when correcting a result so the original observation remains traceable.

• Operating state. float tanks shows whether a tank is ready, being cleaned or under maintenance.
• Evidence. tank checks holds the water and sanitation observation with the person who made it.
• Review. Pending, accepted and rejected review states separate an observation from a reviewed outcome.

Agree who records tank status changes, who reviews them and what evidence staff must attach before a tank is treated as ready. Set the tank’s maximum session duration from the studio’s operating policy. Map every tank used by scheduled sessions to a stable register entry. Decide how the manager learns about a failed sanitation result when bookings are already linked to that tank’s session.

The Float Instructor records the observation; the Tank Reviewer makes the acceptance decision. The Tank Technician maintains tank status and source evidence. Assign those responsibilities to distinct staff where the studio’s policy requires it. For a correction, use the linked successor check instead of silently replacing an earlier failed observation. The check list then shows the history the reviewer needs.

A tank is scheduled for an afternoon float. A Float Instructor records a check with a failed sanitation result. The failure list brings that observation to the reviewer, and the tank register shows the tank’s current status. The reviewer rejects the check or requests a new observation under the studio’s procedure. The manager resolves the session and any affected bookings before staff promise that tank for use.

After cleaning, the Float Instructor records a new check linked to the earlier one. The reviewer can compare times, evidence and results, then accept the new check if it meets the agreed standard. The tank’s status change is recorded with its own evidence. Staff can then see why a tank became ready and which scheduled session uses it, without treating the absence of a failure in a filtered list as approval.

• Tank Check Review List — Review pending failed observations with the tank and checker in view.
• Ready Tank Register — Check operating state and review status before assigning a tank.
• Tank Check Failures — Find failed sanitation results for follow-up.
