2Pcs 11 Gallon Automatic Water Trough for Horses - Adjustable Height Drinking Tank with Float Valve, Easy Assembly Livestock Water Dispenser for Farm Animals (Goats, Sheep, Chickens) - Ideal for Pastures, Stables & Outdoor Feeding Areas

This review is for the 11 Gallon Automatic Water Trough, Horse Drinking Water Tank with Adjustable Stand, Automatic Water Dispenser with Float Valve, Easy to Assemble, Feeding Goat, Sheep, Horse, Chicken in Farm.So I'm known for getting things and using them for purposes other than the seller intended LOL, and that's the case here too! I'll either be using this as a raised bed planting area for my planned vege garden or I may incorporate it into my pond/aquascape.I'm leaning toward using it with the pond as it would be perfect to put plants in to help purify the water and create a waterfall that cascades & bubbles down a rocky path as that will help to oxygenate the water too. I have fake ivy and boxwood panels I can camouflage it behind too.So as I plan to use it I won't need the float switch, I may use the hose as an inlet for the water to hook up a seperate small pump though as the main one is for the filter. So I have not tested the float switch, but if it works like others I used to use when I lived in the country and had livestock, horses... it's a simple mechanism like the float switch in your toilet tank.This has a mnice sturdy tubular metal frame that height adjustable and can be anchored down. If I was using it for horses/livestock...I would put it against a fence for further anchoring it down as they like to rub against stuff to scratch and itch LOL and I think they could push it over pretty easily. Now sheep and goats might not be able too as easily.This would also be useful to put underneath a wall/elevated hay/V rack to catch some that they drop as sheep/goats are known for once it hits the ground they don't want to eat it and just waste it. Or even put grain/feed into for them to eat out of.Depending on their size dogs, geese, chickens, mini horses/ponies, even pygmy goats can drink from this in the lower settings... if you set this up on something this could even be useful for potting plants. I think it's a great option for starting seedlings inside... I think it's a very versatile item!Regular price $115.99 per the listing and there's a 5% off coupon. As much as I like this item and will make use of it though I must say it's high priced. Browse listing, check for sales/coupons... I found this exact item in other listings for much lower and an even better deal on a 2 pack!As always I only do honest reviews and update if needed. I hope this helps you make the best choices how to spend your $.
