Self filling dog water bowl
Ойын-сауық
New iteration January 2024.
After redoing my dining room floor, I rerouted the waterline coming out at the bottom of the wall instead of the floor. I also simplified the code. Now, after a dog drinks enough, it waits 10 minutes and then fills the bowl. This is because it scared one of our dogs, and they no longer wanted to drink from it.
I also put a valve in the line so it’s just cracked open, so it fills the bowl silently very slowly. I love it. It works even better now.

Thanks for watching and please subscribe, and if you click the little bell it will let you know when I upload more.

I am new at arduino programming would you be willing to share your sketch so I could mimic the project. Thank you

Why not get a patent on it for yourself?
This is the higher level of dog water bowl I've ever seen in my whole life in youtube
How do you clean it?
Absolutely love this
That's what I'm talking about! Inventions that make a difference and save us time. Kudos 👏👏 Using engineering to help our pets and strays 😂😅
Great work. I need to build something like this for all my dogs. Keep up the content.
Only a true geek would make a hole through the floor to plumb a electronic water bowl lol...Now my solar powered chicken bunker doesn't seem so crazy, im also a geek lol.
Sweet water bowl
The min you drilled holes in that yeti, you let out the argon gas that keeps the water cold between the double stainless walls.

lol. The dog bowls are not insulated. Even if they were, they are so big they would get to room temperature quickly. Most dogs do not want even cold water.
Build one for me!
The processor that you recommend is not available right now. Do you have any other recommendations for one?
Great Job! thanks for sharing on the video. now, where can I obtain a completed one? Cheers!

Thanks. I have seen some self filling bowls on Amazon I think.
Where did your previous gravity fed bowl with the lid come from. I would like to get one with a lid and not many options.

It was like this. the top lid it’s just for looks. www.chewy.com/frisco-wide-mouth-gravity-feeder-10/dp/335255
Where did you route your drain hose? Any issues with malfunctioning? I’ve been researching how to build an autofill with a filter…but I worry about overfilling-My luck my house would flood!

Sorry, I replied to a different video. Actually, after a couple years, I am redoing it now because I remodeled the room. I am going to try it without a drain, and I will not be using the freshening up routine.
Do you sell these already assembled? I would buy one!

Sorry but not really interested in selling them but thank you
Can you list a complete parts list. I think this is a great idea. Thank you.

Would you be willing to share your Arduino Sketch info. I have never programmed one before. I am trying to learn it. Got my Boomer bowl today.
A mini lathe prob would have worked better.

Sorry bro, thanks but not my thing I’m retired and taking it easy.
I was asking the same thing why would he drill through a wooden floor

I actually remodeled that room with new porcelain floors and I’m going to route it through the sidewall now, but you have to get water to it somehow.
Really did not want to fill up those bowls
