26" LCD HDTV with a HDTV DVD/Divx player. I put on stand up comedy routines, America's Got Talent and other short shows for them to watch.

Put a bunch of shows on 1 DVD...so no huge collection of DVD's.

a Divx playing DVD player is a must. More than the fan

I have people coming back more frequent to see the continuation of America's Got Talent and where they left off, to see who is gonna win.

notice its america's got talent, not canada's got talent, LOL.

Sorry Din, i'm at work and trying amuse myself

Mike, the fan is just for comfort. It really doesn't do that much to cool down the body. A small fan blowing towards the person face just makes me them feel a little better.

Kathe · 4th December 2007, 01:11 PM

We don't use a fan in the room at all. We do have a flat screen on the wall and a DVD player and a selection of movies. We encourage our guests to bring in their own DVD movies to watch. We also don't give them water until they are finished with their session.

We give water too, at room temperature, only because I don't want to chill them inside. I just buy the sport top bottled water and keep it in a basket under the massage table.

Osmotic film, what is it?

lewdyju · 4th December 2007, 02:07 PM

This is my room, I need to stain my frame to match but the frame was only $12 and I just put it up anyway. The picture is the cutest in the world! It is a 40's pin up girl measuring her leg with a measuring tape, so perfect!

sunetc · 4th December 2007, 03:55 PM

Thanks so much for pictures and all the discussion.
It looks like the thermojets pads cover more area than the formostar????? Maybe because the thermojet time frame for treatment is shorter?????

It is the thermo heated plastic wrap, the brand that thermojet sells.

Beach Bum · 4th December 2007, 05:55 PM

The osmatic film goes under the pads, I assume. And is disposable. I have a formostar and have not heard of this film. Do you sell as an add-on sell? How expensive is it, and what does it retail for.

lewdyju · 4th December 2007, 06:27 PM

It is used with the gels, it's like saran wrap and it is $14 a roll, I am using day spa stuff because it is less expensive.

Beach Bum · 4th December 2007, 10:30 PM

so you don't have to buy it from Thermojet? who do u get it from?

lewdyju · 4th December 2007, 11:55 PM

Sun Power Source 800-921-4020 ask for Jim

lewdyju · 5th December 2007, 12:00 AM

or go to dayspawarehouse.com they have bulk rolls too, and I am still trying to figure out if it has to be thermoplastic or if any wrap will work.

EliteMike · 5th December 2007, 12:25 AM

this isn't too intense with the heat??

lewdyju · 5th December 2007, 02:04 AM

No, it draws out more sweat, the heat intensity is the same, HOT!

EliteMike · 5th December 2007, 03:41 AM

does this make our systems more like the old style ones though where its all about water loss and nothing more?

SLM · 13th December 2007, 12:00 PM

Do you still have this unit? E mail me at mcd@canby.com

offduty · 7th February 2008, 05:25 PM

is there a concensus (sp?) on which is better.....thermojet or formostar?....I know the thermojet is quicker and others say the longer slower time is better......are they priced about the same?

EliteMike · 7th February 2008, 05:48 PM

formostar from what I hear is more durable. Thermo pads don't last as long.
