Electric
The Pods with or without the Hydrobaths are completely self contained and simply plug into a normal mains socket via the 25m cable provided. The electrics are fully certified and include an RCD Box. As standard you get x1 16 AMP circuit that provides 3,120watts and includes 3 double sockets - you can choose the locations of these or go for our standard locations. If there is more than one Groomer looking to work from the Pod or you would like to use over 3,120 watts at any one time then we recommend increasing the electrics to 64amp which needs hard wiring the Pod to your house via the connection we can provide. On our more comprehensive packages a choice of the Hydrobath or Stainless Steel bath is included. The Hydrobath option includes a 16amp supply which includes a hook up cable and plugs directly in your house (can be upgraded to 64amp if more power is required), the Stainless steel bath option includes a 64amp supply (as its uses more power) and will need to be wired into your house by a standard electrician.
Water In
As standard, water in is provided via a hose lock connection on the outside. A normal garden hose is connected and the water will go straight into the rinse tank of the Hydrobath. The flow is controlled via a ball cock in the bath for automatic re-fil and the prevention of water overflow. In the rinse tank is a built in heating element which heats the water. If you are unable to attach a garden hose permanently then we can create an interior water tank which can be filled once a week (or less) which will fill the bath instead of the hose.
Waste Water
This is held in the “wash” tank of the Hydrobath and is emptied when you need to. Its normally only approx 30 litres maximum as the hydro baths are so effective you actually use less water. When you want to empty it you turn the drain lever to “open” and the water is piped out of the Pod to an external side of your choice. This can then be piped to a location of your choice - due to the natural ingredients in dog shampoo a lot of customers redirect it to a flower bed or soak away/ external drain. If you are unable to drain the water away we can fit an external waste water holding tank that can be emptied separately.
Delivery
Price excludes delivery but we work with some local delivery companies that we can put you in touch with for prices. Our pet grooming Parlours are extremely light but strong and can easily be moved every day if they need to be. For hard to reach areas we advise them to be craned in and due to their unique design they do not need concrete footings.
