Installation
1 Using a Phillips screwdriver, loosen and take out the screw attached
to the black handle.
2 Pull up on the black handle and remove it.
3 Using your hand, turn the brass round nut counter clockwise until it
has been removed. If you are having trouble, use a pliers.
4 Press in the quick release buttons located on the left and right side
of the unit. Lift up and remove the cover of the unit.
5 Determine a mounting location within 5 feet of the water supply.
When deciding where to place the Bathmaster unit (K.) make
sure it is positioned slightly above the area where
shampoo/conditioner will be.
6 Mark the wall for the 4 wall anchor (G.) locations.
7 Drill 4 holes using a 9/32” drill bit.
8
Install the 4 wall anchors (G.)
9 Position The Bathmaster unit (K.) lined up with the wall anchors (G.)
10 Using a Flat Head screwdriver, screw the 4 screws (F.)
into the 4 wall anchors (G.)
11 Pick up the blue inlet hose (I.) This hose has a female quick connect
on one end and a female connect with filter screen & black washer
on the other.
12 Pull down with two fingers on the outside of the female
quick connect.
13 While pulling down on the outside of the female quick connect,
slide over the male quick connect (located at the bottom back of the
unit) and let go. The two connections are now attached.
5
14 Attach the female connect with filter screen & black washer to your
water source.
15 Pick up the blue outlet hose (H.) This hose has a female connect with
a black washer on one side and a male connect for the spray nozzle
on the other.
16 With your hand, screw the female connect with black washer onto
the male connect (located at the bottom front on the unit) until tight.
17 Pick up the spray nozzle with washer installed (J.) and with your
hand, screw the nozzle onto the male connect on the blue outlet
hose (H.) until tight.
Make sure that all the fittings you just put into
place are water tight.
18 Pick up the bag containing the metering tip kit (E.) and open it.
19 Chose the 4 metering tips you wish to use.
We allow you to use the shampoos/conditioners of your
choosing with The Bathmaster. However, dilution ratios range
anywhere from Ready To Use all the way up to 85 to 1.
Please refer to Metering Tips Made Easy on page 9 of this
instructional booklet to assist you in choosing the right
metering tips.
20 After deciding what metering tips you want to use, press each firmly
into the black hose barb fittings on the left side of the unit. These are
labeled 1, 2, 3 and 4.
21 If you are having trouble getting the metering tips into the black
hose barb fittings, gently tap the metering tip(s) with a SMALL
hammer to get them in.
22 Pick up the cover of the unit and place it back on the unit until the
two quick release buttons snap back into place
23 Grab the brass round nut which you removed earlier and turn
clockwise until tight.
6
24 Pick up the black handle and screw you removed earlier and put
them back on the unit.
25 Make sure the handle is in the OFF position.
26 Pick up one of the two 14’ clear vinyl pickup tubes and
remove the twist ties.
27 Straighten the clear vinyl pickup tube, measure 7’
(or applicable length) and cut.
If 7’ is too long, cut to suit your needs. We just do not want you
to cut the tubes too short.
28 You now have two 7’ (or applicable length) tubes.
29 Pick up the other 14’ clear vinyl pickup tube and repeat the process
above.
30 You now have four 7’ (or applicable length) clear vinyl pickup tubes
to go into your four products.
31 Take those four 7’ (or applicable length) clear vinyl pickup tubes and
attach firmly over the metering tips you installed earlier.
32 Pick up the gallon cap and slide one 7’ (or applicable length) tube
through predrilled 3/8” cap hole.
33 Pick up weight and slide 7’ (or applicable length) tube through the
center of the weight.
34 Pick up foot valve strainer and press firmly into the end of the 7’
(or applicable length) tube.
35 Repeat the steps above for the three remaining 7’
(or applicable length) tubes.
36 Remove cap(s) from your gallons of shampoo/conditioner
37 Place your 7’ (or applicable length) tubes (which now have a cap,
weight and foot valve strainer) into your gallons of
shampoo/conditioner and screw cap on tightly.
7
Make sure the tube(s) reach the bottom of the
shampoo/conditioner
38 Insert the other end of your 7’ (or applicable length) tubes onto
black hose barb fittings with metering tips installed.
Make sure handle is in the OFF position because we are about
to turn the water on!
39 Turn on the water supply to the unit.
40 Grab the blue outlet hose firmly, directing it away from yourself.
41 Slowly turn the black handle to the RINSE position until fully
opened. This will purge any air out of the unit.
42 Turn the black handle to OFF position.
43 Turn the grey product selector handle to position 1.
44 Turn the black handle to CLEAN position.
45 Run until you see the shampoo/conditioner fill the 7’
(or applicable length) tube and you start to see sudsy water spraying
through the spray nozzle. The time required for this process will vary
depending on the shampoo/conditioner you use.
46 Turn the grey product selector handle to position 2 and repeat
process above.
47 Turn the grey product selector handle to position 3 and repeat
process above.
48 Turn the grey product selector handle to position 4 and repeat
process above.
49 Once all four shampoos/conditioners are running through the
system you are done!
50 Make sure you turn the black handle to the OFF position.

Metering Tips Made Easy
First things first. When we were designing The Bathmaster Animal Bathing System, two things shined above all else. This unit needs to save you
time and money. We chose a metering tip system (internally) for product
dilution so you (the owner) could control exactly how much shampoo/
conditioner is used to bathe the animals in your salon. Other similar systems use a product dial (externally) that gives anyone using the system,
the ability to increase the amount of product easily. Wasted product is
wasted money.
To find the right metering tips for your products, we recommend you
use the purple tips for shampoo and the light purple tips for conditioner. If these tips are not giving you enough product, try the next largest
tip until you find the perfect flow for you!
Example:
If the Purple tip(s) are not giving you enough product flow, try the Aqua
tip(s). If the Aqua tip(s) are not giving you enough product flow, try the
Yellow tip(s). Continue until you find the perfect flow.

Maintenance
The Bathmaster Animal Bathing System requires maintenance. Equate it
to changing the oil in your car. To keep the Bathmaster performing at an
optimum level, here is our recommended maintenance schedule.
Weekly (or as necessary)
1) Make sure foot valve strainers (B.) are free from hair and debris.
2) Check the blue inlet hose screen (I.), located next to your water
source.
3) Unscrew the spray nozzle (J.) and check for any build up.
If applicable, remove build up.
Monthly (or as necessary)
1) Check for leaks and tighten necessary fittings. Replace hose washers
if necessary.
2) If the product bottle collapses, poke a pin hole above the product
level
3) Place a few drops of household oil on the stem of the black handle
4) Clean the spray nozzle by removing it from the hose. Push a paper
clip through each hole and clean with a household lime and/or
calcium cleaner. Rinse thoroughly to make sure all debris is removed.
5) Use a toothbrush to clean the screen washer located in the blue inlet
hose connected directly to the freshwater supply.
Quarterly (or as necessary)
1) Clean the 4-Product Selector Valve (15 on parts diagram)
- Remove the Bathmaster cover
(refer back to Installation steps 1,2,3 and 4)
- Using a pliers, pinch one hose clamp and slide down tube.
- Repeat with other 3 hose clamps
- Slightly pull hoses away from center of the 4-Product Selector
Valve without completely removing the hose(s)
- Push down on locking collar
(the lighter grey piece that has 3 nubs on each side)
10
If the knob is not locked into one of the product selections,
you will not be able to reassemble the 4-Product Selector Valve
- Insert spring into product selector knob
- Align flat section of the white disk with the flat section of the
product selector knob
Make sure that the machined slot on the white disk is facing
the 5 hole surface
- Align the knob, collar, spring and white disk
(which you just assembled) over the 5 hole section
- Push towards unit and turn counter clockwise 1/8 turn.
- Push hose(s) back toward the center of the 4-Product Selector
Valve until secure
- Using a pliers, pinch hose clamps and
return to area over grey barbs
- Place cover back on unit (22)
Due to the variance of scenarios (water pressure, viscosity of product,
gallons of flow per minute, etc.)
