Connect the supplied hose to a standard garden faucet and an internal float valve keeps the 2-litre bowl full — refilling silently as your dog drinks and shutting off before it overflows. For anyone whose dog spends the day in the yard, or who runs a kennel, run or small holding, it removes the daily job of carrying water out and the risk of finding an empty bowl on a hot afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFresh water is always available, without you refilling anything\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe float valve stops the flow automatically — no puddle, no waste\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFills quietly with no splashing, so nervous dogs are not put off drinking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks just as well for cats, rabbits, goats, ducks and chickens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHose, adapter, washers and sealing tape are all in the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in float valve\u003c\/strong\u003e — refills as the level drops and cuts off at a set height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGravity- and mains-pressure fed\u003c\/strong\u003e, with no pump, battery or electricity involved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1.5 m supply hose\u003c\/strong\u003e supplied, so the bowl can sit away from the tap itself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiet fill\u003c\/strong\u003e — water enters without splashing or startling noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-toxic plastic\u003c\/strong\u003e construction, rectangular open bowl, easy to wipe out\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e plastic, stated non-toxic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e light blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBowl shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e rectangular, open top\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater supply:\u003c\/strong\u003e float valve, fed from a tap — no power source required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTap fitting:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\/4\" GHT (garden hose thread) only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHose length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 m (approx. 4.9 ft)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuitable for:\u003c\/strong\u003e dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, ducks, chickens and other farm animals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × automatic water bowl, 2 L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × 1.5 m water hose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 × tap adapter for 3\/4\" GHT faucets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof sealing tape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWashers (pre-fitted inside the hose and adapter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eImportant Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheck your tap before you order.\u003c\/strong\u003e This waterer connects to a \u003cstrong\u003e3\/4\" GHT\u003c\/strong\u003e faucet — the standard American outdoor garden-hose thread. The supplied adapter fits that thread and no other. If your outdoor tap is a British or European threaded fitting, or an indoor mixer tap, you will need a separate adapter that is not included. This is the single most common reason one of these does not work on arrival, so it is worth two minutes with a tape measure first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA claim we are not repeating.\u003c\/strong\u003e The manufacturer's specification sheet lists \"heating\" and \"insulation\" among the product's features. The same sheet records the power source as gravity-fed and the item as non-electrical, and there is no heating element in a float-valve bowl. Those two statements cannot both be true. \u003cstrong\u003eTreat this as an unheated bowl.\u003c\/strong\u003e It will freeze in sub-zero weather like any other, and it should be drained and disconnected before the first hard frost to stop the valve and hose splitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo bowl dimensions are published\u003c\/strong\u003e beyond the 2-litre capacity. If the footprint matters — fitting inside a run, a crate or a kennel doorway — message us before ordering and we will ask the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation.\u003c\/strong\u003e Make sure the washers are seated in both the hose and the adapter before you tighten anything; almost every leak on these units traces back to a missing or displaced washer. Use the supplied tape on the threads, and open the tap slowly the first time while you watch the valve shut off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCleaning.\u003c\/strong\u003e Rinse the bowl every few days. Standing outdoor water grows algae in warm weather regardless of how it is fed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it need electricity or batteries?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. It is entirely mechanical — a float valve opens and closes with the water level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it fit my outdoor tap?\u003c\/strong\u003e Only if the tap is 3\/4\" GHT, the standard US garden-hose thread. Other threads need an adapter you would have to buy separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I leave the tap on all the time?\u003c\/strong\u003e That is how it is designed to work — the float valve holds back the supply once the bowl is full. Turn the tap off if you will be away for a long period, simply because any permanently pressurised hose is a slow leak waiting to happen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe in winter?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Despite what the specification sheet says, this is not a heated bowl. Drain and disconnect it before freezing weather.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan more than one animal use it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — it refills continuously, so it suits several dogs, or mixed livestock, better than a static bowl of the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the hose?\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5 m, about 4.9 ft. If you need the bowl further from the tap you can substitute a longer standard garden hose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zippygiz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52923498430776,"sku":"1005008971586782-2 L","price":84.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0969\/9816\/2744\/files\/S17534293f80741b791aa3449f8112cc9n_47c52081-3568-49bc-a2c5-b755af498bf9.webp?v=1788880361","url":"https:\/\/zippygiz.com\/products\/automatic-dog-water-bowl-hose-fed-outdoor-waterer","provider":"Zippygiz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
