"After using the Prima system in our grooming school, I cannot believe the difference in the quality of the bathing, and the time savings. The dogs get much cleaner so much faster using Prima."

“Well, we had the ultimate test for the Prima today. We have a regular, Max, a GSD/wolf mix, who comes in every week for a bath. He is 2 years old, and has been a client of ours since he was 8 weeks old. At 8 weeks old he already had an AT-TI-TUDE, if you know what I mean. Even though we've had the Prima for a couple of weeks now, today was the first time Max has been in since we got it, because last week he couldn't keep his appointment due to a swollen face caused by a yellow-jacket sting. A little info on Max....he HATES a bath, and he is about 90 pounds of mostly teeth. He has bitten me, my husband, the owner's husband, owner's grown son. The lady who owns him is disabled, and that dog absolutely adores her. He has had no professional training, but will help her move her walker, and will get her husband or son for her if she is lying down and unable to move. Ok, back to the subject of the Prima. My grooming table is an industrial lift table that lowers all the way to the floor. We drop it all the way down, have Max step on it, then raise it up some. I then put a muzzle on him and take off his leash. Hubby then picks him up kicking and screaming (Max, not hubby) and puts him in the tub. Max usually fights Roger thru the entire bath because he just hates it so much. Today, as soon as the spray from the Prima hit him, he just sat right down and stayed perfectly still. He loved it! He was absolutely calm for the entire bath. I guess it must have felt really refreshing and relaxing to him....makes me want to try it! Seriously, he was a different dog. There just seems to be no end to the good things I can say about this machine. I'm going thru a pretty bad fibromyalgia attack right now, and I have considered filling the tank with just warm water and letting my husband use it on my neck and shoulders to try and help the muscles relax. If I decide to do this, I'll let you all know how it goes. “

“The system saved my hands YET AGAIN. I got called out to groom three HUGE collies at one house. They had never been groomed and live outside. Need I say more; filthy, filthy dogs wearing heavy half pelted coats. The prima got thru all that hair and under those mats. You know how nasty collies get under the tail, I couldn't even FIND their skin but I was able to wash right thru all that mess. (Lordy if I had to do them by hand I would be a cripple this morning) and my knuckles are NOT swollen this morning at all. After the three collies (took me 4 hours -1 was a shave down, one was a modified clip and coat king work, and the male was a good brush/coat king work) I then went on to do a nasty chow, then a small short hair 2 week old, and then a 5 week old schnauzer puppy. And I still had mix left in the tank. And I only used about 1/4 of the water in my main water tank, so I know the rinsing part is now much faster too. Again, why anyone would use a recycling system is beyond me, especially if mobile. I just don't like spraying dirty water back on the dog...its gross. And I would spend more time rinsing because I felt the dog was still dirty and then I would hand wash again anyway. BIG WASTE of time, water and shampoo.”

“Hi there, yes I am mobile and I have my Prima system set up in my trailer and it works great. I just love it! I add very hot water in the morning and it stays warm throughout the whole day. If it gets too cool, I can always add a little warm water off my hot water tank to warm it up. I don't understand WHY anyone would want to use a recycling type system (and I have used one) and all it did was blast dirty water back on the dog! I did really DIRTY dogs and that just wasn't going to work for me. You get tons of pressure with the Prima and this is really helpful if mobile and it pulls very little amps (only l.5)”
