Hi, I am looking at purchasing a new Hydrobath and I'm looking at the Conmurra's, either the single tank or twin tank auto fill, unless anyone can suggest better? I'v also looked at the Aussie Hydrobath standard or deluxe which I think used to be Fido'd brand. They are almost the same as Conmurra just slightly cheaper is that correct?
I'm not sure how the twin tanks work, but here is what I want to be able to do.......
I want to be able to bath 6 dogs. Fill the wash tank with shampoo and water. Fill the rinse tank with fresh water. Wash the dog with the wash tank then rinse the dog with the rinse tank while the wash tank is draining and being refilled with the water that I am using for the rinsing (to essentially refill the wash tank with the rinsing water, then add shampoo and use that water to wash the next dog). In the meantime the rinse tank is being auto-filled as I am using it. Would this work?
At the moment I have a very old hydrobath that is like a single tank conmurra I think. I have done a few alterations to it. I have drilled out a hole and installed a drainage pipe at the highest level of the single wash tank so that the water auto drains out that pipe when it hits that level. Is this what a bypass drain is? (as the conmurra is advertised with a drain bypass or tank bypass)
Overall I may not benefit from the twin tank as I do have a hot/cold water mixer tap available. The only benefit i can see of a twin tank is the pressure of the hydrobath to use for rinsing long thick double coated dogs, but does the tank auto-refill keep up with the flow of rinsing water being used?
If anyone can shed some light on this that would be great.
Thanks in advance.
