Frisco Gravity Refill Pet Waterer

First of all, this thing is HUGE! I bought this for my parents cats but set it up for our cats to try first. I suddenly had a lake in my kitchen. And one of my cats always had wet, I mean soaking wet, paws. We finally put the waterer in a large plastic boot tray in order to contain the lake. Then one night I hear splashing and find our special cat splashing water out while watching for the bubbles then quickly trying to catch them. At least I finally caught her in the act. Not that she stopped. She really wants to catch those bubbles! She still has wet paws. Anyway we plan to give this particular device to our son. He has an English Mastiff. Hopefully SHE won't try to swim in it. So if you want First of all, this thing is HUGE! I bought this for my parents cats but set it up for our cats to try first. I suddenly had a lake in my kitchen.

Was very excited when I found these and purchased two Large ones for my cats and dogs. Kept fresh water and lasted for days. When the 1st one ran out, I filled the container with water and placed it back on the gray tray. Overnight the entire container emptied out all over my kitchen floor. I thought I didn't attach it correctly, but its really just seating the water container on the tray. The 2nd one was doing ok, so I figured I would just have to find the leak in the one. The 3rd time I refilled the other it did the exact same thing. I was better off not spending any money on these and go back to having bowls of water - VERY disappointed.

Well I see some people fill it up and don’t change it for days ,, myself I prefer to give them fresh water every day if possible , have 2 large dogs and I was filling there water up a few times a day , I bought 2 large ones , I filled it half way and I’ll clean a change it every day , if I were going away or something to make it easier for whoever would be babysitting , then fill it up .

I originally ordered a different one but it was out of stock so I got this one and I hate it. We bought a gravity water bowl to make sure my dog and 2 cats always had water since they'd drain their old dish multiple times a day and we didn't want them going without. Sadly this water dish doesn't ever refill. We have to check it constantly and squeeze the water jug to get it to do it's job unless we have it propped up on one side just right and then it gets either really dirty or goes everywhere. So I'm having to buy a completely different one.

This is a game changer. No more filling the water bowl 3x a day. If your not sure, just order it. I gave it 4 stars because it’s function is perfect, the bowl is always full of water. I took away one star because it is difficult to detach the two parts to refill. It exceeded my expectations for the price.

First time we've tried one of these. This one works fine in that it doesn't spill and has held up okay for a month, and my dogs have no problem drinking out of it. But I've noticed that in the 3 days it takes our dogs to drink a full container of water, the bacteria build-up is terrible. I clean the inside and outside of the waterer between each re-fill. This is more time consuming than ideal, but I've done it anyway. And the water is kept away from dogs' food bowls, so we don't really have food debris etc. in the water. But nonetheless, the water gets smelly, like REALLY SMELLY... the container top (bottom when inverted) has a foul bacteria odor each time I've gone to re-fill it, and I can't First time we've tried one of these.

With two dogs we were constantly filling water bowls, several times a day, often resulting in some spilled water on the floor. The dogs actually seem to like this because they never to wait for a bowl to be filled or finding which bowl had water, plus it is easy for us to see when the bottle is getting low and needs refilled, once or twice a week instead of daily.

All of my pets prefer the water from this waterer; my cats love to watch the bubbles when you first refill the system; it keeps them entertained for like 10 minutes. The humans in the house loved it because it is simple and helps the older adults not have to bend down as often and refill the water dish.

I had a larger unit from a different brand and the closure cap cracked. This one appears to be the same material of construction. This water bottle is hard to remove and take off the base. The water filling of the base area is very slow and the amount of water in the basin is not very deep.

This product does not meet my expectations. It must be changed daily because sediment settles in the plastic tray. Because I use spring water, I wasted most it by the constant change. I thought it would provide FRESH WATER for a few days. As it comes out fresh the bottom drinking tray is messy. I was needing something better. I wash the old bowl daily, this needs the same thing. The container was a great size. It’s was flimsy plastic. I did not meet my needs.
