Automatic Water Bowl
My two 180 lbs English Mastiffs drink tons of water, and every time they drink, they leave behind drool, pieces of dog food, and dirt in the water bowl. I purchased this stainless steel automatic water bowl from Amazon.com that keeps the water bowl full. Then I mounted it onto a shaft driven by a small DC motor set to a timer. It automatically rotates and rinses the bowl 3 times a day to keep the water fresh and clean.

I originally used an automated ball valve to drain the water bowl daily, but sand and other debris would eventually get trapped and seized the valve. I tried different valve designs and most would fail after a few months. I came across the spring-return A/C damper motor on eBay for $50 and use it to drain the bowl with gravity.

    He would use as much water to spray the bowl clean with the hose, probably more, anyone figure out how to build this?

    At first i thought that the bowl was not installed properly, but after a while i understand the whole idea. I was searching for an automatic waterer, but i have not seen anywhere the tilt system with the fresh water!!!!👍🐾🍀

  • @VikingsFan27
    @VikingsFan27 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    That is a genius idea. I have been trying to think of a way to get fresh cold water into the bowl. After the line sits the water gets warm in the line so I installed a drain on a ball valve and I would just let water run for 20 seconds until it was ice cold and then drain and fill water bowl. This would solve both problems of rinsing out bowl and running warm water out of the line. Where would I be without TH-cam?

    • @VikingsFan27

      It's just a DC motor. Could've been for anything. Open a gate or anything. He just mounted his bowl onto the shaft and set it to a timer. Very simple yet super smart idea. He might beable to change the length of time that it takes to make a rotation thus rinsing the bowl longer.

  • @nicknotsure9714
    @nicknotsure9714 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I thought this was a great idea. no matter what valve I used, they all clogged with dog debris and then water would leak 24/7 until I cleaned the valve once again. I did a few modifications to this though: I used a damper motor off amazon (Honeywell model # RZ3-1M for 65 dollars), a 120v/ to 24vdc transformer ( Veho # MS-75-24 for 33 dollars), and a digital timer (nearpow T329C) for about 20 dollars. I also chose to hook up my dog's bowl to the hose, then instead of putting the hose up into the pvc like here, I attached the hose to the bottom of the pvc with a fitting, and now the pipe is part of the drain instead of just holding the hose. I also put my damper motor inside the garage for weatherproofing, and just have a rod go through a vent, no damage. I put the exact items so anyone wanting to make this could find them easily, I have used these parts and they are easy to use, reliable, and it doesn't take a tech guru. Good luck, I hope this helps!(and thank you to Mr. Wen for posting this idea, it really made things easy for me, thank you sir!) N

    I love this idea because my dog gets all her dog food in the bottom like your first video, but instead of having that pipe on the timer, i would of used a pond/swimming pool valve so that the timer thing opened the valve to let the water out then shut it again 👍😏
