Made in the USA K9000s - Update

With the K9000s being made in the USA now, we wanted to reiterate a few things for the installation of your K9000s so it’s clear:
  • 110v power on a 30amp circuit is required to run the unit
  • You have options with the hot water system (i.e. Tank or tank-less) and will need to run a separate circuit for the hot water system depending on the model you go with
  • We recommend 3/4” water line(s) at around 50psi. It’s better to have more water than not enough. The K9000 has a pressure regulator built in to reduce the pressure if needed.
  • We are using a different hair trap (second hair trap built in to drain) that increases the amount of space to work with for the drain pipes ... Adds about 2-3”.
  • 95% of the parts are the same parts that were coming out of Australia (who buys them from the US anyways). All spare parts are available by TMC and sourced in the US.
  • Their has been a modification made to the platform to make it easier to clean

TMC/TruBlu/Coleman are dedicated to manufacturing the highest quality dog wash unit built to last for many many years with minimal maintenance issues.
