They Hydrobath Verdict.....

I'm thrilled with it!!!

Could live without the way it shampoos, I prefer to do that myself because I know what parts of which of my dogs need "extra" work or less saturation. So will do that manually...no dramas.

But for rinsing on tank water with a limited amount and shitty pressure.....IT'S THE BOMB!!! :cool:

Can't believe I bathed and rinsed an American Cocker in less than 30 minutes and haven't got the aches n creaks to go with it! ;)

Must be hydrobath day, I have just been out giving Jazz a decent wash, Piper to do in a moment when it has heated up again.

I also don't tend to worry about putting shampoo in the wash tank when preparing for a show as like you said I know what areas I want to really scrub. But for just giving them a bath in between I do tend to put some in and then just apply a bit extra to areas that need it (which is what I did today to turn Jazz back from black and tan to black and white)

And I also find there are far less aches after using it, especially as I have a shoulder injury. For me it was worth every cent, sounds like you feel the same way.

Definitely must be the day for it - I've just found a DIY hydrobath and dryer at a new supplies place that has opened - up. Taking the kids up there in about 5 mins to test drive it

I just need to work out how to make the flow faster from my pitiful laundry trough into the tanks. I think a shorter garden hose might be the go. The pressuer isn't so bad when I'm filling buckets of water, just lousy with a hose.
