Product description

Pet bathing has never been easier- for you and your pet! Bring professional style pet bathing into your home. No more messy cups or wasted water. Pet Shower Deluxe turns your showerhead into a convenient eight-foot pet rinsing wand. The flexible hose connects quickly and easily to your showerhead and never blows off. When the hose is engaged, it shuts off the shower head. The on/off sprayer allows you to control the flow, and the luxurious spray will penetrate your pet's coat for a deep, clean rinse- even underneath. Simply detach hose when bath time is finished. Also great for rinsing shower, tub and tile, bathing children, watering plants, and rinsing legs after shaving. Includes eight-foot hose, chrome diverter, and plumber's tape. Fits standard 1/2" shower arms. For shower arms with a ball where the head connects, a new shower head is required, plus either a ball joint adapter or a new shower arm. Tools Needed for Installation: adjustable wrench or pliers. Important: Always protect parts with a cloth when using wrench or pliers. Installation Instructions: Unscrew shower head. Screw on diverter valve. Screw on shower head. To attach sprayer house, align tabs on hose end with notches in valve opening. Push hose end inward and twist clockwise to lock. To activate spray, depress sprayer lever while shower is running. Hose should be detached after each use.Old or worn shower threads may cause diverter valve to leak. Wrap threads with Teflon tape if necessary.

« Great for the price! »

Connects easily to your shower head. NOTE: the connector may be metal-colored but is plastic, so even though you may want to tighten the two pieces really well, you can't. You will have to add additional caulking/adhesive/apoxy so that water doesn't leak from different places.

The water flow from the nozzle is stronger than expected, a pleasant surprise. The on/off function is basically a metal triangular piece that fits to hold the on/off in place, so if that breaks (it's not sturdy), than you'll have to resort to turning the water on/off with the shower/bath faucet handles.

Despite those two things, the price and convenience makes this product worth having, especially since I got it when Amazon's price dropped.

« Great Buy! »

This product was easy for me to install and it makes giving the dog a bath easy. The water stays in the tub now and I can reach underneath the dog with no problems.

« Definitely a time and water saving device...love it »

Ok, who hates tub baths for kids? Me, that's who. It's a big time and water waster. Fill the tub with water and soap and let your kids sit in there for however long they want to play? Yuck. For starters letting girls sit in soapy water contributes to their contracting UTI's. Secondly, how do you get them thoroughly rinsed off? Drain the soapy water and fill the tub again? More water down the drain. It also looks like a ton of work to keep the bath in pristine enough condition that you would allow your children to sit in that water in the first place. Augh! I...do...not...understand.

What else can I do? You may ask. Get the Rinse Ace Pet Shower Deluxe. I love my Rinse Ace. I did a lot of research to find something like it and it seems to be the only hose of its kind available to the general public. The other devices I saw were for professional groomers and they were really expensive and difficult to install. I know... this is supposed to be for washing pets, but it works really, really well on your kids too. The hose is a whopping eight feet long and the sprayer has a firm but gentle spray. It is great for washing hair because you can direct it better, and it has a little more force than just pouring cupfuls of water on their heads. Water only flows when the sprayer button is pressed, and it can be set to continuously spray as well. It easily connects to your showerhead. When it is connected there is a complete water shutoff to the showerhead. No water is wasted here. I also use it to clean the bath itself.

When they say this product is guaranteed, they mean it. I have gotten a few replacement parts over the last couple of years (they do wear out when you use them every day). You have to plug and unplug it all the time if you use the sprayer and the regular shower everyday. This causes it to wear down eventually and you have to replace it (like I said, they will give you a new one for free). I didn't feel like worrying about that, so I replaced the plastic diverter valve with a heavy duty metal one from Home Depot. I then permanently installed the hose so I don't have to worry about it wearing out from being plugged and unplugged every day.

This sprayer is awesome; it has so many uses and has saved me a lot of time and work. You can always run a bath once in a while so your kids can play, but you need to save time and water the rest of the time.
