Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of LIXIT FAUCET DOG WATERER
Customer Review: Lixit user for over 10 years
Summary: 5 Stars
Pro's:
1. 24 hour per day available water for your pet.* Excellent in hot climates.
2. Clean / sanitary water source at all times. Definitely better than a bowl or bucket that often must be cleaned with anti-bacterial, anti-mold, anti-fungus cleaners.
3. Easy for the dog to learn how to use.
4. Eliminates your dog from 'playing' in its water which makes a mess and causes the dog to go without water for long periods until you get home/discover his full bowl is empty.
5. No installation procedures to follow. Just screw it on to your faucet as it has the same threads as your water hose. Turn on your faucet and you are set.**
Con's:
1. *24 hours per day is contingent on the lixit not freezing or breaking. You should check it daily as you would a bowl of water. Common sense! You should never NOT worry about your pet every day! Besides, it takes just a second. Press the trigger to see that water is flowing when testing. The lixit can loosen over time and leak since it is suppose to be put on 'hand tight'. I use pliers and tweak it just a fraction past hand tight and it holds for long periods of time. Like water hoses, sometimes the rubber washer needs to be replaced.
2. It is an 'outdoor application only' for use on your outdoor faucet. **NOTE: I recommend you NOT share a hose with it and DEDICATE the faucet to the dog waterer ONLY, as it would be easy to forget and turn off the knob after watering your lawn thus depriving your dog of water! In fact, I recommend you turn on the lixit then take the knob off of your faucet so no one will accidentally turn it off. If you are handy, you could tap into your water line and construct a dedicated water line just for your pet!
3. Freezing is a common problem. I've never had a frozen lixit ruin my faucet. What happens it that the lixit is made from a metal that is a bit softer than a faucet so the freezing water causes the lixit to expand around the threads. It has never ruined my faucet and lixits are fairly inexpensive so I keep an extra on hand. If you live in northern climates, you'll have to put the lixit on a faucet that is located in an area that does not freeze. It's worthless in freezing weather. If you have outdoor dogs in cold climates, better to go with a heated bowl / kennel.
4. They do wear out eventually. Usually the trigger gets stuck to one side and it dribbles water. I've had lixits last 2 or more years.
5. Direct sun does warm up the chrome colored metal lixit but with just a few seconds of water it cools right off and does not deter the dog from drinking.
