:O it's hooked to the tap and a drain I assume? How big is that?
Correct! It connects to a sink drain the same way a dishwasher does. It is actually a bathroom sink, the kind that sits on top of the counter. We have had three Great Danes at one time so trying to keep up with a clean water dish was really impossible. We no longer have large dogs but the desire to keep them in clean water persists.
What a clever idea! Is the dirty water drained from the bottom of the bowl or is it pumped out?
Super cool. I'll have to keep that in mind for behind my kitchen wall 🤔
