Water sippers.

[-Katana-]

Has anyone noticed that the screw on water sippers that you screw onto softdrink bottles are just impossible to find!

Have they stopped making them?

There must be an improved sipper out there somewhere

the only issue i have seen in video`s with the above is if they jam on it floods the tub and can drown the babys .
i guess it would deppend on your setup weather or not it would be viable to run the above or the sipper style bottles.

Well I got to find some sort of better system.
I had two large Pet One drink bottles break over the weekend..I think the fault was the thin wire keeper that keeps the bottle upright let go and the stem broke away from the body when it hit the floor.
I've since started using cable ties but my whole watering system needs a re-vamp.

Flooding is always an issue and you must plan for it. I drill holes in the bottoms of the tubs then glue a sink strainer over the hole. if there is a jam the water just flows though.
The changes if flooding are greatly cut if the sippers is secured properly hence the link to the mounts.
