I agree on those waterers. I have been doused numerous times even when I was trying to be careful.

I don't know what make mine is, but it's anything but new. I had it suspended in the adult run for a while, but it kept genning knocked around, so I went back to the Fortex pan. Now I hang it in the juvie run; works like a champ. The screw-on bottom stays put once it's in place, but getting it there can be a challenge. I've developed a knack for flipping it over that usually keeps me dry. I pick it up by the bottom, set it on the edge of the utility sink I fill it in, get a good hold on the bail, & let centrifugal force take over. Very rarely do I get splashed.

I have just had it come apart even after test pulling on it as I flip it over. It really should have the fill hole in the top and be a heavier plastic like he said. I much prefer my bucket with horizontal nipples and the submersible heater.

Same here! Should I try to catch up or just jump back in with both feet?
