A clean coat is a coat that grows, and the right tools can make baths quick and easy. A few years ago, I purchased an Oster recirculating bather, and it has been a life changer. I can bathe 6 Lowchen in 20 minutes, and the amount of shampoo and conditioner I use has been drastically reduced.<\/p>\n<p>The Oster is rather large, heavy, and expensive. While it is a great for at home use, I wanted to have something that was easy to transport. After looking through a few other existing articles and researching products, I came up with this list that makes for a very affordable recirculating bather. While prices might fluctuate, you are likely very able to purchase these items for less than $100 total.<\/p>\n<p>1. <span id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2UF5imY\">Superior Pump 91250 Utility Pump, 1\/4 HP, Black<\/a> &#8211; I like this one because it already has a screen on the bottom for large debris and long hair, and it works in as little as 1\/8 inch of water. It is fairly light as well.You might need an additional screen for short coated and double coated dogs. <\/span><br \/>\n<iframe style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ac&amp;ref=qf_sp_asin_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=romanreign-20&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B000X05G1A&amp;asins=B000X05G1A&amp;linkId=0fad326924ab248b10660d2e03c21a90&amp;show_border=false&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=false&amp;price_color=333333&amp;title_color=0066c0&amp;bg_color=ffffff\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>2.<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2Jmh4x8\"> Foot operated switch<\/a> &#8211; This one is extremely simple to use and at a great price.<br \/>\n<iframe style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ac&amp;ref=qf_sp_asin_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=romanreign-20&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B076MH2NCT&amp;asins=B076MH2NCT&amp;linkId=0b56d1de32de0892b0f4130885cfeb20&amp;show_border=false&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=false&amp;price_color=333333&amp;title_color=0066c0&amp;bg_color=ffffff\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3dBnGWs\">Short flexible garden hose<\/a> &#8211; any length is fine. 5 ft seems to be the sweet spot for long enough for big dogs, but short enough for travel.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\"width: 120px; height: 240px;\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;OneJS=1&amp;Operation=GetAdHtml&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;source=ac&amp;ref=qf_sp_asin_til&amp;ad_type=product_link&amp;tracking_id=romanreign-20&amp;marketplace=amazon&amp;region=US&amp;placement=B01D51VBFS&amp;asins=B01D51VBFS&amp;linkId=becd036a780b922fd4c0a4bede71d6e4&amp;show_border=false&amp;link_opens_in_new_window=false&amp;price_color=333333&amp;title_color=0066c0&amp;bg_color=ffffff\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><br \/>\n<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>4. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2WSPKyQ\">Garden nozzle with flow control valve<\/a> &#8211; any type will work here.

Attach the hose nozzle to the hose.<\/p>\n<p>2. Attach the hose to the top of the pump. If you don&#8217;t do this first, you will have a wild volcano of water shooting all of there place. I tested it without a hose to start.<\/p>\n<p>3. Plug the pump into the foot switch. It isn&#8217;t critical to have one of these, but for $22, you will be glad that you can turn off\/on the pump without leaving the pump. Make sure the foot pedal is situated in a way where it can stay relatively dry. Or you can put a small washcloth over it when using it. You&#8217;ll want to prevent water from getting into the plugs.<\/p>\n<p>4. Plug in the foot switch to the power outlet. Do be aware that your dog might step on the pedal and turn it on. I usually unplug mine from the wall when not in use.<\/p>\n<p>5. Depending on the type of tube you are using, you may need a stopper. I use a 1 to 1 3\/8 inch stopper with a booster bath.<\/p>\n<p>All of these parts fit in an easy to carry plastic tote!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Keeping lowchen in show coat requires baths.
