Got this as a gift. Hooked it up to a 5 gallon bucket because I hate leaving hoses on.
Not sure how long I dinked around with this piece of junk but no matter what I did it leaked and leaked and leaked some more, draining the 5 gallon bucket in an unacceptable amount of time. I'm generally good at figuring these things out, read the directions, looked on youtube, did everything you can do to this design and it was a huge water waster.
The only positive thing I can say is it has a nice capacity for lots of beaks. But the flip side to this is it is probably deep enough to drown a little chick if left in place- not something I learned the hard way, but should be considered if using around broodies with babies.
