-ABOUT THE NELSON 1200B-
STEVE FROM GDS SAYS:
We sell a lot of the Nelson Automatic Dog Waterers. It’s a very popular product for us even though it’s a little on the expensive side. Nelson is the high-end of the dog waterers.
The low end of the waterers that we sell are plastic, and I am never a big fan of a plastic bowl for a dog. It is just something to chew on. That is one of the things you have got to look at and decide, “I have a chewer or I don’t have a chewer.” You don’t have to worry about your dog chewing on the Nelson 1200B because it’s built out of stainless steel.
The Nelson Automatic waterers require you to have a water connection that is close to where you mount it. It has got a float in it and basically, as the dog drinks the water down, the float gets down to a certain level and it automatically refills. It’s pretty neat.
The biggest fear that I have with this type of product is that it doesn’t eliminate the need for keeping an eye on your dog. I wouldn’t recommend leaving for two weeks and leaving it hooked up in case something happened. Although you don’t have to worry about your dog’s water getting low, it’s always a good idea to check on a daily basis to make sure every thing is in working order and your dog is properly hydrated. A dog can not go long without water in the summer time before getting heat stroke or dying.
The other thing you have got to watch on automatic dog waterers is cleaning them. Depending on where your place your waterer, you are going to get some algae. If it is in the sun at all you are going to get fast algae build up. If you keep it out of the sun and clean it once a week most folks ought to be in good shape. Bleach kills algae probably faster than anything, but you can kill it with soap too. It’s not a big deal.
We have very, very few returns on the Nelson 1200B because they are nice, stout products.
