I was worried this product might be a little over-complicated, but I was wrong. The instructions are great, and the product assembles quickly and works well. I have seen other similar products that are less expensive, but I highly doubt they are as robust and well-made as this one. Each component is solid and I have no doubt it will stand up the elements and repeated use.

Great addition to the outdoor section for all of our dogs. Keep them well hydrated and keeps the bowl full of cool refreshing water for them.

So in the last 3 years I've ordered 7 of these from gun dog supply. I love the concept of them. easy to use & clean. but they all have RUST in the bottom of the pans. some worse then others, some aren't bad but they still are RUSTY! But its the point that I paid a lot of money for these and they have RUST. I joined a kennel group on Facebook and people are talking about these and the RUST! so its a common problem.others have said in this group that they were sent new pans and the problem reoccurs.this group is all across the US. So I just ordered a new one and we will see if they have figured the problem out or not. if I could attach more pics of the issue I would. The picture I attached was the very waterer I installed.

Should come with lag bolts for mounting for the price but was easy to get with trip to hardware store

I’ve had similar products that failed spectacularly. This one never disappoints. The quality material, craftsmanship, and design provide a solid product. No leaking, the valve works properly, and it is simple to clean! No more stress that my dogs won’t have water and no more wasteful leaks! Thank you, Gun Dog Supply.

This is the best automatic water dispenser, now all you need is to make one for food and it has to be metal. Why? Because we the people want it. Now go and make it, so you can make more money. Believe me, we want it. A gravity fed kibble dispenser made out of the same metal that can be securely mounted on a wall or fence. You can thank me later.

I was hesitant to spend $150+ about 10 years ago when I purchased this watered. I must say it’s money well spent. I had Mount plastic ones in the past and they never held up, dogs chewed them and were difficult to clean. The only thing I have had to do was replace the float once and that was only about $10. Once a week I quickly remove the bowl and throw it in the dishwasher along with 5 stainless steel food bowls. If you want to buy a water that will be trouble free and last a lifetime you can’t go wrong with the Nelson 1200. Why leave feedback after 10 years, because it’s rare you purchase an item that actually performs and exceeds you expectations. Phil in Tucson.

Excellent Quality! Easy to install. I have two GSP and this watering system is perfect! Only regret is I wished I would have bought it sooner.

Received and after a easy install the waterer is working well. I thought at first that the bowl was on the small side - but after installing and filling with water - perfect size.

Great looking product , Very well built , fast del.

I’ve always balked at spend this much money for an automatic water bowl. We’ve used everything from constantly refilling bowls to finally installing an automatic watered from a different manufacturer. That old unit worked well until the stoppers on the float wouldn’t work and then I would have a mini flood in the yard. It also was made of painted steel which constantly would turn green with algae, but hey it was better than filling bowls constantly. When the automatic algae bowl started leaking I said I’m going to get the Nelson 1200. When I first saw the box I thought, “man this is a small bowl”. But after installing it and seeing how deep it is, I love it and I know my dogs love it. Almost a month, no floods and no algae! And when it comes time to clean it, slide the release and take the bowl inside the house for cleaning, I think you can even run it trough the dish washer. It ain’t cheap but as my Daddy said, buy one cry once.

The one I previously had was REALLY small for three 45lb+, very active pitbulls. This is larger, easy to install and flotation device works, so no worry of wasting water

This was the perfect water bowl to put outside for our dog. I used to have a large plastic waterer. We’d fill it and it would provide water for about 5 days, but it was a pain to fill (you’d fill it and then have to lift it and turn it over to place on the bowl), a pain to clean (the opening was very small and there were ridges in the plastic that we could never really scrub) and there was so much water in it that would inevitably get warm. With this new automatic waterer, the container is super easy to remove and clean and the dish is small enough that it gets fresh water more often. Very happy with this purchase.

My dog had a terrible habit of spilling her water and then playing with the bucket. This water bowl system fixed the problem. Because it is winter, I don’t have it hooked up to the hose, but I am excited to use that feature once we get warm weather again. If you don’t want the automatic water feature, you could just purchase the dog dish version and be fine. The bowl unfastens easily (but remains secure while being used). The photo show how I attached it to my run.

Watered has worked great, stainless supply line has deterred my lab puppies from chewing it.

Outstanding virtually all stainless steel construction (exception: brass fittings, valve float is sturdy plastic). Superb design---bowl slides off, can be cleaned by fingers in the small stream coming from an open valve that rests in the bowl, bowl slides back on, valve continues to fill the bowl, no need to turn off water or bring bowl somewhere to clean. Sturdy, very quiet, the dogs took to it IMMEDIATELY....we call it their fountain. Well worth the money---and I read reviews on many as I shopped around, before choosing this fountain. We now have four of them. Happy dogs!

This is a quality product. Easy to install.

I have others of this product from Gun Dog and love it. We just extened our puppy kennel and needed another one. Lasts forever and no problems with it.

Works great!

I had one of these before and was thrilled to find them again on this site for a great price. These are the best automatic waterers you can own. Easy to install and easy to keep clean, best part, made in the US!

Works well. I added a drain to it for easier cleaning.

I love the automatic waterer. It's so hot, and I don't have to worry about my dog running out of water.

Works really well. Only improvement is add bolts to secure to wall as well as pole. Make hose six inches longer. Great product.

Easy install, simple to cleaning, quality made. Best thing I have bought in a while.

Our dogs kept chewing up any bowl we attached to the outside wall. Because this water bowl is metal and all the hardware is metal, they don't even try to chew on it or pull it off of the outside wall where it is attached.

Well designed, easy to put together, and works fine. I am very pleased with it.

Good product! Works well and was easy to assemble! Bolts were too short to mount to my kennel pole but that's an easy fix!

We just finished our dog run and put this automatic dog water bowl in.. Love it!! And so do the dogs. No mess in the house anymore, always fresh and my silly pup can still shove his face down in the bowl happily. I no longer have to lay 3 beach towels out and constantly wipe the wood floors! Everyone's happy!

It should include lag bolts for attaching to a wall or wood post. The pole mount is limited and difficult to attach.

Sturdy, as advertised. Easy to install.

It works great. Before, she played in her water bowl and made a mess; with the waterer mounted on the wall, she is able to drink from it easily but cannot splash and play in it. It is the best purchase we have made for her; it makes our life so much easier.

Great product. Great service. Great Seller.

This item works great. I love it and the dogs have fresh water all the time! Thanks.

The crimped fitting for the hose adapter leaked, so I had to do a lot of plumbing work to replace it.

I would give it 4.5 stars. The only complaint that I have is with the carriage bolts that hold the unit to the pipe clamp in the back (they rusted out). They should be stainless nuts and bolts. I learned this from my old unit and replaced the new bolts with stainless ones from the hardware store. Otherwise, it is a fine unit (this is my 2nd). The 1st one gave me many years of reliable service.

We got these to replace some old waterers because they were so difficult to clean. These are great because you can easily take the bowls off to clean them.

Our dogs drink a lot of water and this eliminated the need for refilling their water buckets everyday. Plus they have fresh water at all times! Our dogs took right up drinking out of it as soon as my husband installed it. He said it was very simple to install. This has been a great time saver plus I feel better knowing our dogs have fresh water any time they want it. Love it!

I have 1 Labrador Retriever and 3 teacup Chihuahuas. The Nelson automatic dog waterer Installed easily on my stucco walls with not provided concrete screws. I installed it low enough for my teacup chihuahuas to drink from. The unit comes apart easily to clean. After buying the cheap dog waterers I can appreciate the Nelson stainless steel dog waterer.

We love this dog waterer. Living in Southern California we often worry about our dogs running out of water in the heat of summer. This is going to make sure our pups never go thirsty, and relieves me of having to check multiple times a day that the bowls are full.

I love this watering bowl because it is easy to take off to clean and it doesn't leak like other brands that we have had in the past. I also like mounting it to the wall and the extra floor space we now have in our garage.

I have 6 of these automatic water bowls at our pet resort. They are easy to install. Note that the short connecting hose is specific to these bowls and another will need to be purchased if it gets chewed on. If you could hook them up directly with a regular hose I would give them 5 stars. Aside from that they have held up very well in a high use environment with a 60-70 dog average per day.

An overflow tray with a drain tie in assembly for indoor installation would be a great option for this product, especially for Canada during winter.

I finally found a automatic waterer that is of solid construction and DOESN'T LEAK!!

My pups love it!

My 2 labs chewed up the plastic automatic watering bowl after about a month. It held on for a while and put up a good fight, but when they chewed the plug at the bottom underneath it began to leak...a lot! The Nelson is awesome as the bowl removes for cleaning instead of a drain plug. It installed in a jiff, and I couldn't be happier. Durable and easy to clean.

It's great. We bring our 4 dogs inside and like them to have water. It was pain to continually have to fill the water bowl. This is a great solution, even inside. We drilled a hole in our wall and plumbed it to the hose bib outside. Works great and is a good looking addition to the house. Thanks, Steve.

Very nice product and simple to setup.

Exactly what we were looking for. Never again will we worry about our dogs running out of water during the Arizona summers.

Could you make the water connection fitting out of metal? Seem like it will be very fragile and prone to cross threading if not careful. So far no problem, but it the plastic seems like a potential problem.

It was super easy to install and the dogs love it. I was worried about my rottie as she can be skittish around noises, but the refill feature was quiet, and she didn't even notice it.
