A hydrobath is like a big BOTTLE collector bin we used to have at working mens clubs, at 11:20pm pmsl

Cept its plumbedto hose, and has integral, heating and a powerful pump

You add shampoo to the water, and bathe the dog at high pressure with continuos clean water, and then as we have, you use a secondary tank, to rinse the dog.

With a hose and shampoo, a clean takes us about 1 hour, and they still have shampoo in their undercoats.

With the hydrobath you hold the shower head against the skin and flush the muck out, cleaning the dog at the same time.

Its very very good, and yer cost about 2 grand lol

Thanks for that. The picture you provided looks spookily like our dog too.

It can't be too economical with water though can it?

Considering we are on tank water it's pretty good uses about 20 lites water in each tank 20 litres for washing and 20 lires for rinsing.

Lets hope it rains over the next week to replenish bath water supplies
