  Needs Work October 17, 2008 I was excited because this bowl was made of plastic, we had one of the metal ones and it started rusting. Like other reviewers have said the hose connection is awful. After trying 3 different hoses, I've chucked this bowl in the trash.
  Works great so far September 24, 2008 It's nice to finally find an automatic pet waterer that doesn't require special plumbing or anything like that, and at such a reasonable price. I just screwed it onto the end of my garden hose, and that was that. It sure has saved me a lot of water-schlepping for one dog, four cats, and two chickens.
If you experience leaks like some of the other reviewers have, try making sure the hose-gasket is still inside the female threads on the waterer. I can well imagine this little rubber ring could fall out and get lost inside the packing material during shipment. (If you already threw the box away, hose gaskets are five for a buck at your local hardware store.)
I don't think I'll be using a Quick-connect device for mine, because I find that those need a lot of water-pressure to work properly, and I am keeping the water-pressure turned down rather low on the faucet I have this dish connected to. Works great so far, and it's nice not to have to worry about the critters having enough water in hot weather.
  Great Watering Bowl - Remember to get hose and/or connector! July 19, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a great product for a reasonable price. Important NOTE: Although it will connect to a garden hose, it might not connect to a "standard" garden hose because of the type of thread (female or male). This product works great with a TastePURE 22743 10' Reinforced RV Fresh Water Hose.
I also got Gilmour Brass 2-Way Connector, #13 so I can connect my "standard" garden hose to the facet as well.
  Easy and simple July 15, 2008 So far this product has been great. Since it is still summertime, I can't say how it performs during freezing weather. I really like that it doesn't overflow like some other watering devices.
  Maybe I'm lucky- no problems March 2, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm not sure if others just got a lousy bowl, or if I just happened to get one of the few good ones. But either way, I have been using mine for a month and there seems to be no problem. No leaking or anything. I am using a regular hose that I cut down and put a plastic type hose fixer on the end that attaches to the faucet(Walmart- 50 cents) and a quick connect fixture that connects to the bowl. So far it has not gotten scummy, but my dogs drink a lot. They are over 50 lbs. each. I also have it sitting on top of a bench and I keep the water turned very low, barely on.
