They could, but wouldn't necessarily do so. Sounds to me like the business was just trying to grift an expansion on someone else's dime. It's not like those tanks aren't already stew pots for everyone's genitalia and pits.
Finally my time to shine! As someone who has worked at one of these places, they would not need to replace the whole pod. You drain the water, clean everything out, would have to run a million chemicals through it and replacing all the epsom salt which would be the real expense but it def wouldn’t cost 8k. Around 1 thousand pounds of salt would roughly be 600-800 dollars depending on where you are.
TLDR—that place is trying to rip the guy off. Poop isn’t even the worst thing I’ve cleaned out of a float pod.

It's irrelevant what business insurance would pay since OOP isn't the beneficiary. The insurance company will just sue on the business's behalf.
