Drain is a nice touch but..., January 23, 2010
This review is from: H2O Animal Hydration Miss Aqua 2-1/2-Gallon Multi Purpose Automatic Waterer with Drain (Misc.)
Got this for my 4 Rottweilers who can't go long
without a lot of water down here in the tropics (Jamaica).
However, like many other dog watering products that I tried, the
slobber builds up in the bowl pretty quickly and makes
the water unpalatable.
The drain on this one allows me to get rid of the stale water
without flooding the area as I just connected a 3/4 inch hose
to the drain outlet.
But, sometimes you don't want to put your hand into
dog-slobber-contaminated water to empty the
bowl, so I installed a ball valve (just one of those used
for control of your garden hose) on the 3/4 inch drain hose
and I can direct the water to a desirable area (like the flower
beds).
The next big plan is to replace the manual ball valve with
an electrically actuated one hooked up to a timer that will
automatically drain the stale (and hot!) water at desired
intervals. I'll let you know how it turns out!

I so love this., September 20, 2009

4 dogs, 3 chow chows and 1 jack russle. Unplug in about every 2-3 days to clean it. and NEVER have to worry about them having fresh water. I use on the inside of the hose and ran a special water line in my utility room just for it. This is the best thing since slice bread.

Water the Dog, January 30, 2011
This review is from: H2O Animal Hydration Miss Aqua 2-1/2-Gallon Multi Purpose Automatic Waterer with Drain (Misc.)
We've had this about 9 months. We have it outside so we have to turn off the water in the winter. It's great in warmer weather. It does seem to make our water bill higher and it doesn't drain debris very well so we have to clean it out once a week. It does the job though and it works for when we have to work long hours.
