The local hydrotherapist here charges $200 for the first two visits (two visit minimum) and $65 for each subsequent session. She uses a whole house filtration system, which means (to my thinking) that material from the pipes could still possibly enter into the water being used.
So, I'm thinking that by the time I pay for a week of therapy (three sessions, $265), I've pretty much paid for a simple, gravity fed system with tubing. Also, a little time with the power tools in the garage should help me fashion a toilet bench to suit the purpose. Additionally, I could use my own unit whenever I felt it necessary along with water I've distilled and my own herbal recipes.
Much searching has shown me that I can spend a LOT (over $2,000) for a fancy shmancy unit with bells and whistles (and it better leave me with a refreshing minty feeling for that price

) or $100 to $200+ for something as simple as an oversized hot water bottle, tubing and a 5 gallon bucket

.
I'm comfortable enough to handle the procedure (if I can keep the kids out of the room

). I'd like some word of mouth recommendations from someone in the know that uses home colonics. I don't want to spend too little on something that doesn't work well or is too difficult to use. I don't need the luxury, deluxe model either.
What do you experienced home hydrotherapists recommend? Do I even need anything more than my enema bag and a few additional pieces of equipment? What else would I need? Do you use catheterization tubing for more access? Which supplier do you recommend for quality products?
Of course, this goes along with all of the warnings about not trying this yourself at home. This procedure should only be done by a licensed practitioner. Just like you should only be attended by a doctor to give birth
