Bergan Autowata Automatic Watering Bowl

I purchased the product based on the 2 other positive reviews on Amazon. I must have gotten the one in the lot that does not work. The hose advertised with it, and purchased, did not fit. I used my own hoses. I purchased a brand new hose. It leaks, period. We spent hours adjusting it. It is made of cheap plastic. I have no problem with the Dish being made of plastic, but the housing where the hose is supposed to fit, does not have a tight fit when the hose is put on, so it leaks at the joint. I just purchased another product today, and am just taking the money loss, because it is not worth it to be aggravated further, by returning the product, so I am out $28 plus. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS PRODUCT. IT IS NOT WORTH THE MONEY OR THE TIME!

After just under 1 year, this thing is completely useless.

Two major problems:

1)overflow has not worked properly for last 4 months. It uses a simple float mechanism (like a toilet) to stop, which does not properly shut off. We were able to fix it for a few months, but it overflows badly now.

2) The other problem is that if you have large dogs with large paws, you will probably want to mount this since 1) it's plastic, thus edible, and 2) they swim in their dishes. The problem is the mount holes are also plastic and the bowl is now tearing away from the weight of the water.

Minor problems:

1) Fittings are plastic so it leaks copious amounts of patience and plumber's tape will do the trick

2) No drain hole

3) Some of inner fittings have corroded (clearly a local problem)

Pros:

1) Price

2) Color

3) It didn't crack or discolor from the sun

Bottom line: I cannot recommend it.

This was a waste of money. It to a while to get it dialed in (just like Toni's review said above). It worked for a few weeks and then got so scummy. It was impossible to clean properly. The scum was growing from the inside (the part you can't get to) and just seemed unsanitary for the dogs.

I seen some of the other reviews which criticised the fittings. True, they are weak and I took some of mine off and replaced them with PVC and glued all the fittings with standard PVC glue and I was careful not to over tighten them. I used a adapter fitting so that it would accept a 1/4 poly line. The fitting I used was a Watts quick connect. You simply push the poly line in and it stays. To remove the line so that you can clean the bowl you push the collar in and pull the line out. If you do this put a shut off on it. I put mine in the house and mounted it to the wall. The float valve is covered and can not be bumped pushed or touched by the pets. The valve seals off securly without any leaking by causing any over flow. I hooked mine to a Reverse Osmosis unit in my basement. It stays full and is not hard to remove for cleaning. I did not run the screws all the way against the bowl leaving enough room to slip if up and off the screws. Even if you have a garden hose on it you should probably change the fittings as they seem really weak. With PVC being so much stronger I wonder why they chose those fittings.

Love this! Puchased it for my chickens before we had to leave for vacation so they would have a continuous water supply. It was a lifesaver then, and it's a timesaver now. I would highly recommend this product and plan to get another for my dogs and cats.
