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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
