HydroSurge RapidBath Pet Bathing System

RapidBath™ Pet Bathing System will completely transform your bathing experience into a cleaner, healthier bath in 3 minutes or less. Professional technology makes pet bathing fast and easy. No hand scrubbing or pre-wetting. RapidBath™ has an amazing massaging action spray that dogs love. The RapidBath™ system's patented InjectAir™ technology automatically draws shampoo and oxygen into the water for a constant sudsing action - carrying away dirt while fresh suds continue to clean. The unique combing action spray easily penetrates even the thickest coats, breaking up oils and washing away dirt, debris, loose hair, dead skin and dander. The result is a deep-down clean that will leave your pet cleaner than ever before.

Treat your dog to a relaxing therapeutic massage every time they bathe. The RapidBath™ system's unique massaging action is designed to calm and relax your pet. No more stressful, backbreaking baths for either one of you. Your pet will love the massaging action and you'll love the results. RapidBath features a rotating head that directs spray for hard to reach areas. Easy slide switch located at the top of the nozzle quickly lets you select between wash and rinse settings. Ergonomic shape and non-slip grip will provide you with comfort and ease of use you have never experienced before. So easy to use, simply connect to hose or shower for versatile outdoor or indoor use. Easily switch from any of the three settings (bathe, high, and low) during the bathing process depending on your pets needs.

HydroSurge® RapidBath™ Pet Bathing System Includes:

• RapidBath™ hand piece with rotating head
• Universal shower adaptor
• 10' Hose
• Water diverter
• One starter shampoo cartridge

Your pet will soon be enjoying the relaxing massage the RapidBath™ system provides while receiving a thorough, deep down cleaning. With experience, most pet owners find that they can completely bathe their pets in under 3 minutes! The amount of time it takes will vary based on the size of the animal, coat thickness and length, and dirtiness level. 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:

1. 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. Proceed to step 5.
2. To use the RapidBath™ system inside, carefully remove your current shower head.
3. The diverter that is included with your RapidBath™ unit is designed to fit virtually all standard shower pipes. In the event of a non-standard shower pipe, an adapter can be purchased inexpensively at a local home improvement store. When attaching the adapter, consider using Teflon tape to ensure a water tight seal. If you do not wish to leave the diverter in place when not using the RapidBath™ system, skip steps 2 & 3 and go directly to attaching the RapidBath™ bathing hose directly to the shower pipe using the adapter to connect the two.
4. Reattach your shower head.
5. Attach the RapidBath™ system to the other end of the hose.
6. 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.

1. Let your pet see and sniff the RapidBath™ 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 them an 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 device 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 so that 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 massage and 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.

1. 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.
2. Rub a small amount of tearless, unscented shampoo into your hands and hand bathe your pet’s face just as you would your own.
3. Rinse using the RapidBath™ unit on the LOW setting just as you did in step 1.
   To use a Flea & Tick or Medicated Shampoo Product:
   Both flea & tick shampoo and medicated shampoo work best on a clean animal. Bathe your dog using HydroSurge® RapidBath™ shampoo and rinse. Following the instructions on the bottle or directions of your veterinarian, hand apply the specialty shampoo. Use the RapidBath™ system to rinse as necessary.
   Important Precautions:
   
   • Never aim the spray directly at the animal’s eyes, ears, mouth, or nose.
   • Avoid getting water into an animal's ears.
   • Do not use the RapidBath™ system on animals that are pregnant, nursing, or under 12 weeks old without the recommendation of a veterinarian.
   • Leave empty shampoo cartridges on the shampoo straw until you are ready to insert a new cartridge. Should you experience any issues with shampoo congealing due to exposure to air, submerge the entire unit in warm water until the shampoo dissolves.
