automatic waterer

This has been a great product. Used for multiple years. I drain during winter. Functions great..must set fill arm for the angle of the bowl. Wish the plug was a little bigger and was tougher. Plastic is becoming deformed after removing many time for cleaning.

Great , quality fast shiping

Bought 2 to try and seamed to be a good product. Now after several weeks 1 keeps leaking. we bought 2 more and still in the box so probably stuck with them. Probably not going to install them in our other stalls.

This bowl was tricky to install and I had to use a few adapters to fit the regular size garden hose. But it was not impossible to figure out. The only thing is that although it stays full of water, it does not stay clean. It catches leaves, sand or debris from the dogs and I have to clean it at least once a week because it can get real nasty and algae will start growing if you forget it. There is a plug at the bottom that can be removed to drain and clean. Installing was tricky because of the spot where the mounting screws go. I had to take other parts out of the way but was not too hard. The dogs have not mentioned being thirty. Not once.

Because this has all brass fittings it shouldn’t break like all the auto waterers I’ve purchased in the past. So far so good and with pigs and ducks it gets horribly filthy quick…luckily another great feature is you can just flip up the flap to clean! The last ones had to be taken apart (unscrewed) which was a huge inconvenience! I would recommend this for dogs and livestock!

I bought this version with the brass float valve despite the other reviews that said not to. As expected, it had some problems on arrival. The bag was torn open and the fastener which attached the float to the valve was missing, so I had to go to the hardware store to get a replacement. Not a huge deal, but irritating. Next, there is only a gasket around the inlet on the inside of the bowl, so the outside leaked like a sieve. It was a pressurized leak, so it was probably coming from where the inlet screws into the valve itself. I took everything apart and wrapped all the threads with teflon tape, then added a gasket on the outside of the bowl (pictured). Not leaking now, but a product shouldn't need this kind of rejiggering just to make it usable.

Not standard ftp. This will not work with normal fittings you purchase from home depot or lowes. It is straight threaded pipe so you'll get 2 turns into a fitting and that's it. Guaranteed to leak. It still seems like a decent bowl but get yourself some 3/4 polyethylene tubing and a few hose clamps to skip the process of trying to find something that fits these threads. 4 plumbing supply houses with the same results, no match.

Son excelentes ya he comprado 4 de ellos.
