Thank you for this video - I made a honeybee watering system using a 3-gallon water bottle with your principle. The bottle came with a screw-on cap with a poly-liner that seals the bottle air tight. I drilled a 3/8ths inch hole near the base and below the level of a large plant pot saucer. I use a rubber stopper in the hole when filling the the bottle - very simple. This watering station is for for honey bees in the area, as they were overwhelming our birdbath / keeping birds away. When placed in the sun, heat expands any air in the top of the bottle, which pushes water out continuously, so the system works better in the shade, and I actually used an old bucket hat to shade it further. (TIPs: use tape on the bottle when drilling the hole for a cleaner cut / bits with stepped hole starter tips will make a jagged hole - the top of your hole dictates the level of the dispensed water - a twisted piece of plastic bag or kitchen wrap could be used in place of a rubber stopper) (Regarding the bees - I had to empty our bird bath for a few days and had a saucer of water that was gradually moved from the area of the birdbath to the corner of the yard so the bees would follow it. For the bee watering system, I placed rocks in the saucer around the bottle - the rocks protrude above the water surface for the bees.)

I found your video a couple of weeks ago and thought it would be a great idea for a water station for the back porch so my pets always had fresh water while outside. I followed your directions and it worked great. And the dogs seem to love it - maybe too much! They got it down to about 1/4 full and being big dogs I guess they noticed it wobbled when they bumped it and discovered it might make a good toy. I found them both in the backyard with one dragging the bottle around and the other chasing the water as it ran out when the bottle was twisted on its side. That sort of posed a problem because after I filled it back up - assuming the weight would deter them, they were smart enough to realize they could still tip it over to have fun. I got some more silicon - although its a bit more expensive I got the kind rated to be safe to use with food/water for human consumption and mounted the bottle into the tray with silicon so that they could not tip it over easily. I assume that for most pets this would suffice to make it non-tippable. The problem with my dogs is that while they are both large the mastiff is 165 pounds and can knock over large heavy furniture if he wants too. I ended up having to make a small set of mounting brackets (angles) screwed into the wood of the deck and then they can twist into place against the tray to hold the whole station in place. Now they can't ruin their station by knocking it over and draining it away in just a few minutes of playtime. This is a great idea and I think its a wonderful and economic way for shelters to make watering stations for each kennel in the shelter to alievate the need to water many bowls multiple times a day - freeing staff to do other things - or go to the expense of buying 5 gallon watering stations for each kennel. I know there are many other DYI waterers out there but this one ends up looking very nice which is important if you want it as an indoor waterer

I've got an even better "hack"- buy a $12.00, 1 gallon gravity waterer from pet mountain, remove the 1 gallon bottle and save it for a bumper-dumper, put a 5 gallon bottle in its place. It sits there just fine. Now you've saved yourself 3 bottles of soda, 1 tube of silicone, a plastic tray, a mess, and an hour farting around making it. You're welcome.

Remember that the top lid or cap you use needs to seal perfectly. If it doesn't it won't work and will slowly fill the tray and it will over flow. That is why in the video I go to the extent to put a good cap and bottle top on the big bottle to make sure it is a perfect seal and I use silicone to make a good sealed opening.

When the cake tin is "full" there might be about a quarter to half inch of water in the bottom of the cake tin. Its not huge, its just enough for the "winged critters" to drink and splash about in. Its funny to watch them. I also made a feeder out of an old coffee can, plastic end covers, duct tape and string. Again, nothing great, but just enough to supply some food for them. Hope you have a great day!!!!!!

I know there's a vacuum that's probably assisting in not letting excess water out but I'm guessing the external pressure of the water in the tray is applying equal force to equialize the water pressure in the water jug. I'm just guessing though.

Really like your idea. I'm going on a three week trip and want to make sure the neighborhood cat has enough water. I am building it but changing it slightly. Mine will be much more simple. Mine will be held upside down by a wooden "box", and will be resting on the neck or mouth of the bottle. And, the only holes drilled in the 5 gallon bottle will be 4- quarter inch holes in the neck about one inch from the opening as it is sitting (neck down) in a 2 1/2" glass Pyrex pan. Because it is outside with the sun on it, I didn't want to use a plastic tray, so I picked up a Pyrex or glass baking pan for only $3. I believe the 5 gallons of water will easily last 21 days, don't you?
