"Your pet can soon be enjoying the relaxing massage the RapidBath™ system provides while receiving a thorough, deep down cleaning" - claims the makers of this revolutionary new system

With experience, most pet owners find that they can completely bathe their pets in under 3 minutes! We tried it and it took us 8 minutes on a 45 lb. dog - but he DID like it.

The amount of time it takes will vary based on the size of the animal, coat thickness and length, and dirtiness level.

Here are the technical details on this new device:

While the device is designed to work either inside or out, your pet will enjoy the experience even more when warm water can be used for bathing.

• You will need to use a water source that has a flow rate that exceeds 3 gallons per minute.

The vast majority of homes will meet this requirement both in the shower and at an outside water faucet. Building codes limit the amount of water pressure to sinks; the RapidBath unit is not designed for use at the sink.

RapidBath installation:

To use the RapidBath™ system outside, attach the RapidBath™ unit directly to the end of a garden hose 50 feet or shorter. The HydroSurge® RapidBath™ hose can be used in place of a garden hose.

Select the most appropriate shampoo formulation based on your animal’s skin and coat condition. Insert the cartridge by inserting the cartridge opening onto the shampoo draw tube. Each shampoo cartridge is designed to provide at least 5 minutes of shampoo, or enough to bathe the standard dog 2 times.

Variability in water pressure may result in substantially longer shampoo draw periods.

Bathing instructions:
1. Let your pet see and sniff the Rapid Bath unit first. This will alleviate some of the anxiety they may be feeling.

2. With the system set on slow rinse, aim the water spray behind, and away from your pet. This gives theman opportunity to get used to the sound of spraying water. Test the water temperate of the water to ensure it is a relaxing, warm temperature. Be careful to not use hot water. Now move the setting to fast rinse.

3. Move the devise setting to “bathe” and within seconds, the high quality RapidBath™ shampoo will be drawn into the oxygenated water mix. Move your hand forward until the pet’s rear area is getting wet. Although your pet may jump at first, soon it will be enjoying the relaxing massaging action.

4. Slowly move the spray pattern across the top of your pet from the tail to the neck area. Angle the spray sothat it is at a 45 degree angle to lift and penetrate the hair. This will ensure a thorough cleaning down to the skin.

5. Continue the slow, side to side motion from the top of the animal down each side.
6. Next, clean each of the legs, underside, paws, and under tail area. Finally, you have a way to effectively clean all those hard to reach areas!
7. When finished bathing, set the RapidBath™ system to the HIGH rinse setting and repeat steps 4-6. Although no shampoo will be coming from the unit, your pet will continue to enjoy a relaxing water massageand enjoy the health benefits of getting oxygenated water right down to the skin. All RapidBath™ shampoo products are formulated to be clean rinsing and leave no shampoo residue which can dry the skin and coat.

For bathing an animal’s face:
8. When face bathing is required, it is recommended that you wet the face using the LOW rinse setting on your RapidBath™ unit, ensuring that you do not spray the water directly at the eyes, ears, nose, or mouth of the animal, and that no water enters the ear canal.
9. Rub a small amount of tearless, unscented shampoo into your hands and hand bathe your pet’s face just as you would your own.
10. Rinse using the RapidBath™ unit on the LOW setting just as you did in step 8.
