Once hung it's very easy to use

8 years ago
This product is a great time saver once you finally get it together and hung. You pop off the cap and fill, no more washing messy floor sitting waterers! The difficult part is the assembly! If I did not have a skinny teenage son with long arms, it wouldn't have gotten put together! The piece the chickens actually drink out of has to be screwed into the bottom of the waterer, from the inside!! Which means your arm has to go into that pipe, fully extended, no bending your elbow at all, holding two tiny pieces in one hand and the piece your screwing it into in the other, it was quite tricky!!!!

Poor Design

22 days ago
This waterer has a great concept, but the overall design needs significant improvement. The tube is so long that you practically need extremely long arms to reach the bottom. The instructions require drilling brackets directly into the water reservoir. It’s not surprising that leaks can occur when screws are inserted into a container designed to hold water. Unfortunately, these design flaws outweighed the benefits, and I ended up returning the product.

We appreciate the feedback. The self tap screws do not let water leak out. If it did - something else is going on. We are always here to help troubleshoot at the Rugged Ranch office.

Terrible for the price

a year ago
Hangs easy… setting it up wasn’t easy , long skinny arms needed . My chickens have been using it for a couple months and now they both leak. It’s very annoying to get it all set up and now I still have to replace the water daily !!!!!

No, I do not recommend this product.

Response from Rugged Ranch Answers:

Rugged Ranch Answers
The water should not leak and because you say both leak, something is not connected correctly. Please call the office to discuss and send photos showing where the leaking is to info@ruggedranch.net 760-734-3748
