Problem Solved
The water fountain was well packaged and arrived in prime condition.
It worked well at first installation but then my destructo puppy did his best to destroy it and wedged it under a bunch of gravel and boards! After a couple of days where the fountain would intermittently not turn off completely, I wedged a 11/16"x 1.25" spring I had from a previous project in one of the bumps under the pedal. Problem solved.
Took me a bit to make it work where I needed the water. I used drinking water safe hose covered in tube insulation slid into water pipe. This was necessary as it sits in the sun and the heat will burst the hose- not to mention destructo pup will eat an unprotected water hose. I then anchored a scrap board (2"x12"x36") about a foot inside the pen with cement pads (75lbs ea) and used deck screws through the anchor holes to keep the fountain in place so it is Jasper proof (so far).
No special training other than showing one puppy how to use it and...
API Doggie Fountain F-1
Even though it is made of metal, it does have plastic parts. I dropped my first one and the plastic parts broke.Since I thought it was such a great idea, I odered a second one.However once my dog learned to push it and get a stream of water, she kept pumping it and the hose came off and water squirted all over. Then the dog was soaked as well as anyone nearby.They need to connect the hose permanently.If the hose was permanent, it would work very nicely.
Step on Dog Waterer
Hi
We have 10 small dogs ranging from 2 lbs - 10 lbs. Even the little guy can step on it and the water flows easily for him to get a drink. When we saw the size of the product we were afraid it would be suitable only for larger dogs. We showed our little 10 month old Pomeranian just once how to use it and she used it independently on her own after that. (she is so smart!!) The others took a bit longer, but they watched her and before long they were all using it.
We love this product and intend to purchase more for Christmas gifts for some of our friends.
Great Product ..... Now we don't worry about the dogs needing water when out in the back yard.
Thanks
Gloria & Kevin
