I have used a device which feeds water from the bottom of a barrel, and
collects the light fractions in fine mesh bags tied over the outflow
from the top of the barrel, some years ago, with good success.  A
"garage" company in New Jersey used to make (may still make, for all I
know) these devices, and sold them to the CRM community through word of
mouth.  I don't know if such a device would qualify as commercial or
homemade; it had elements of both.

The flotation department at our company is considering developing an
indoor
home made flotation tank.  In your professional opinion which is more
accurate a flot-tech machine (which we are currently using) or a
homemade
machine?
