Customer Reviews

NOT WORTH THE PRICE OR THE TROUBLE
I purchased the product based on the 2 other positive reviews on Amazon. I must have gotten the one in the lot that does not work. The hose advertised with it, and purchased, did not fit. I used my own hoses. I purchased a brand new hose. It leaks, period. We spent hours adjusting it. It is made of cheap plastic. I have no problem with the Dish being made of plastic, but the housing where the hose is supposed to fit, does not have a tight fit when the hose is put on, so it leaks at the joint. I just purchased another product today, and am just taking the money loss, because it is not worth it to be aggravated further, by returning the product, so I am out $28 plus. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT. IT IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY OR THE TIME!

Terrific for the money
I seen some of the other reviews which criticised the fittings. True, they are weak and I took some of mine off and replaced them with PVC and glued all the fittings with standard PVC glue and I was careful not to over tighten them. I used a adapter fitting so that it would accept a 1/4 poly line. The fitting I used was a Watts quick connect. You simply push the poly line in and it stays. To remove the line so that you can clean the bowl you push the collar in and pull the line out. If you do this put a shut off on it. I put mine in the house and mounted it to the wall. The float valve is covered and can not be bumped pushed or touched by the pets. The valve seals off securly without any leaking by causing any over flow. I hooked mine to a Reverse Osmosis unit in my basement. It stays full and is not hard to remove for cleaning. I did not run the screws all the way against the bowl leaving enough room to slip if up and off the screws. Even if you have a garden hose on it you should probably change the fittings as they seem really weak. With PVC being so much stronger I wonder why they chose those fittings.

Great Watering Bowl - Remember to get hose and/or connector!
This is a great product for a reasonable price. Important NOTE: Although it will connect to a garden hose, it might not connect to a "standard" garden hose because of the type of thread (female or male). This product works great with a TastePURE 22743 10' Reinforced RV Fresh Water Hose.

I also got Gilmour Brass 2-Way Connector, #13 so I can connect my "standard" garden hose to the facet as well.
