The Auto-Wata is a hose-fed pet waterer built from durable, BPA-free plastic designed to withstand active pets and outdoor weathering. An internal float valve senses the water level, shutting off the flow once the bowl is full and reopening it as the pet drinks, so the dish stays topped up without manual refilling. The unit can sit on the ground or be mounted to a wall, patio, fence, or kennel using the rear mounting tabs, though mounting screws are not included. Setup involves placing the waterer on a level surface near an outdoor faucet, attaching a garden hose to the connector, and turning on the water to fill the dish; the float position can be adjusted by removing the lid and moving the float valve up or down. Because it relies on hose water pressure rather than electricity, it requires no batteries or power outlet to operate. The hose should be disconnected ahead of freezing temperatures, and the unit is intended for outdoor use.
