Cooler Waterer

Looks interesting! It really should work great in the summer to keep water cool with added ice or frozen bottles of water and should keep water from freezing in the winter. I think I will make one and give it a try!

I like this and we have a couple of coolers that we almost threw out, but I keep almost everything.
The instructions are detailed, which I need and like.
I am going to try filling it with very warm water this winter and see how long it will stay liquid and the nipples not freeze, in below 32 degrees, without the purchase of a heater. Then do it again but after a few hours, add a bottle of hot water to the warm water. Experiments. Thanks for the idea.

Super informative and detailed.

Neat idea! Do you think you can figure out how to stop the drip?

Easy to read and follow, with a list of materials and photos. Nice job.

This is a very helpful article for setting up a DIY water fountain using a cooler.

Love this idea! It gets really hot in the summer where I live, and this will be the ticket to a happy flock.

Good explanation of how-to and helpful pictures.

We have several nipple buckets and bottles but I can see how a thermal one would be beneficial, especially in the summer.

Good idea and the photos and write up are helpful.
