I cannot figure out all the bad reviews on this product? I love it! I twist the lid off and take it over to my tote where we collect rain water, fill it up and then carry it back to the run with the handle that's INSIDE the part you actually fill. I have mine setting on a cinder block that's pretty level. Then I push the lid down over it making sure the slat on the lid and the peg on the actually waterer line up then twist it shut. It will leak some water while do this but stops after that. I've had this for quite some time however when I read the instructions that came with it I'm 99.999% sure it said not to carry it or pick it up by its lid. It's certainly not meant for hanging as the lid creates a seal and when you pull on it its loses its suction and would leak. I highly reccomend this water it has saved me from having to fill it daily and that's for 22 chickens!

We have had this waterer since April, less than 12 months, and it has rusted inside and made the water a red, rusty color. We bought this thinking it would be a long term solution and we want to now buy a different kind and look into returning this one.
