Brand History & Background
Apollo Float Tanks is an Australian manufacturer producing two distinct pod models: a Commercial Pod aimed at float centers and a smaller Residential Pod aimed at home users. Splitting the lineup this way lets Apollo size each pod's filtration and warranty appropriately rather than selling a single compromise model.
Manufacturing is in Australia, and the brand's installed base is concentrated across Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Southeast Asia. Apollo has a smaller global footprint than Dreampod or i-sopod but a stronger one in its home market.
The Residential Pod in particular fills a useful gap: a purpose-built home float pod that's more substantial than a Zen Float Tent but less expensive than a full commercial unit.

- • Lid gas-strut wear on units with high daily use — routine replacement.

Typical Used-Market Pricing
Used Apollo Commercial Pods typically sell for $12,000–$22,000 against a $22,000–$32,000 new price. Used Residential Pods run $7,000–$14,000 versus $14,000–$20,000 new. Both depreciate steeply in the first 2–3 years and then flatten.

Buying Tips

- → Verify electrical compatibility for your region; most units are 240V.
- → Inspect the door seal and lid hinge in person, the usual wear points on Apollo pods.
