I bought this about 3 years ago to sit in our deck for our 2 dogs in the summer. It worked well until this year when it began leaking from the hose connection. I thought it was the washer, which is an odd size, but I was able to find and replace. Still leaked. Further examination showed that the male threaded plastic piece coming off the float had multiple cracks. I called the manufacturer listed here on the Q&A section to see if it was repairable, thinking that if it was, even the shipping would make it cost prohibative. I spoke with Debbie who could not have been nicer. She said the single threaded piece wasn't available, but she would send me the float assembly free of charge. Very pleased with their customer service.

Works great. If it leaks you might have to add another seal from the water hose. I love it and my dogs have figured out if they put their paws it in and knock out all the water they get fresh cold water. Awesome product and zero complaints

For the price I do like this water holder. Yes, we had to make sure it was working properly before we mounted it on the wood platform we made. It's true that you basically have to work with it and turn the hose or the whole bowl to get it on snug, so we know this and unhook the hose to turn it tight. All in all we have had to clean and redo our set up a few times through the years... but it works, going on year 5.

If I could give this a zero I would. I have no problem with most of the design, but the fitting to attach it to the hose has no swivel, making it much more difficult to attach to the hose. This one flaw completely ruins the product for me.
