This and the 5 gallon version of this product are more disappointing products from Little Giant. I had to modify the handles on these to get them to hang straight enough to not leak (I...

2 Gallon Double Wall Fount

If these waterers aren't fairly level they leak -- that's pretty obvious. We don't have a lot of flat level spots in our chicken areas, so decided to hang our waterers and let gravity level them...

I have searched & only found the replacement O ring kit for the 3 gal waterers at ruralking.com-- $3 for 3 rings & a black cap. Great right? Shipping is $13.26 SERIOUS!

Any other places I can order the O ring from???

We have 8 of these waterers, the oldest one is a yr old & the ring is shot.

Any help or suggestions would be great!

Take a O ring to a good Hardware or Auto Part Store they should be able to match one up.
