First, it was difficult to assemble because of all of the sections that had to be glued. It was a fight to make sure that they were all level before the glue dried.Second, my chickens tried to get used to how they worked. They pecked a couple of them broke out of the sockets. Even using the plumbers tape which is included doesn’t give a tight enough grip. The product is poorly made.Third, I’m not easily impressed and this is an example of why. Save your money for a better alternative.

Is it possible to use the below method if I add a return line: Circulating water in a closed loop system without a pump is possible through a process known as thermosiphoning. This method relies on the natural convection currents created by the difference in water density at varying temperatures. Here’s how it works:Hot Water Rises: Hot water, being less dense, rises to the top of the system.Cool Water Descends: As the hot water rises, it displaces the cooler, denser water, causing it to sink.Continuous Loop: This creates a continuous flow as the cooler water is heated and then rises, while the warmer water cools and sinks.For this to work effectively, the following conditions must be met:The heat source should be located below the level of the water you want to circulate.The system should have a return pipe that is smaller than the supply pipe to create a pressure differential.The return line should connect back to the bottom of the tank, often via a “T” installed at the drain outlet1.This thermosiphon system is ideal for situations where you want to maintain circulation without the use of a pump. It’s a passive system that can be very effective, though it may not be as powerful as a system with a mechanical pump. It’s commonly used in solar water heating systems and can also be adapted for other types of closed loop systems.Remember, the efficiency of a thermosiphon system can be influenced by the layout of the pipes, insulation, and the temperature differential between the hot and cold areas of the system. It’s always a good idea to consult with a professional or refer to specific system designs to ensure optimal performance.

This was very simple and straightforward to put together which led to high hopes initially. However, the nipples do not work properly, meaning they constantly leak without being pressed and overflow the small cups. The seal on the part that attaches to the bucket is also defective leading to cinstant water dripping. If you are installing this outside it may not be that big of a deal, aside from having to refill more often due to water leakage, but my intent was to install in the coop so water leakage is a deal breaker. I wanted to give this good reviews as it is a simple and low cost option but the function and quality is just not there

Comes with everything except the pipe glue. Structurally everything is great, no leaks between fittings. However the cups themselves leak from the metal bit. It appears that it doesn't seal completely. So we will be replacing the actual watering cups with a different style.

All the pieces and parts needed to make a complete watering system although the cups are a little flimsy

i got this ideally for my kakariki, but sadly they still bathe in the bowls so this is less great than anticipated. my quail also tend to fill the cups with debris, i find i prefer the little nipples for the water feedings as opposed to the cups.
