Insta-Hot® Original Portable Equine Washing System

The original warm bath in a 10-pound box

Hook it to a hose and a 20 lb propane tank and it heats water as it flows, up to 40°F warmer than the tap at up to 1.4 gallons a minute. Two knobs, no plumbing, and it hangs on a wall or rides a cart. Outdoor use only.
1
Warm water the moment you press the igniter
Attach a hose, start the battery igniter, and water comes out up to 40°F warmer than it went in, at up to 1.4 gallons a minute. Bathe, rinse legs, fill a warm bucket in winter.
2
Two knobs set the temperature
One regulates the gas, one the water. Run a single burner for a gentle rinse or both for a warmer bath.

Looks after the gas for you
A tilt switch shuts it off if it is knocked from upright, and it turns itself off after 20 minutes without use. The louvered top keeps debris out and the burner drawing cleanly.

Small enough to take to the show
12 by 15 by 4 inches and 10 lb. Wall plugs are included; add the Easy-Up® Insta-Hot Cart to roll it, tank and all, into the trailer. One 20 lb tank runs up to 18 hours.

It's always been a challenge to bathe my horses in cooler temps. Someone told me about the Insta hot. I read about it and decided to try it. What a great product! It was easy to assemble. The cart made it easy to transport it from barn to barn. The water is warm almost immediately and the horses love it. Wonderful product. Five stars!

Insta Hot does not fit

— Todd B. (5/5)

InstaHot works GREAT!

"Love these systems!! This is my second one. They work so nicely. My horses and dogs appreciate the warm water and it also works great for tack cleaning!!! Just make sure you winterize properly before the cold snap hits!!"

— TOM S. (5/5)

ok

"When i use it at home on city water pressure it is great. My barn has an older pump that does not have steady pressure, so the heat will go out and water will be cold, i have to re light it every so often. ALSO, how the heck do you drain this thing for winter storage?! There is no info in the booklet, and i cant find info online"

Nope.

"Not all parts included and the hose included is so narrow, it kills the water pressure. So your horses are warm…. and dirty. For the price, a hard no."
