Attention fluther shoppers...can you help me find something?

No, I don’t have a blue light special to offer. I’m looking for something and need help from people who are better at searching than I. I’m looking for a large bowl or bucket that can attach to a hose and use a float system to keep it full without overflowing. The goal is to have a means to water the dogs outside without constantly filling the bowl/bucket. Any help would be so appreciated. I should say I don’t know if such a thing exists. I just started thinking it would be useful when I was fixing a toilet in our house yesterday. I started thinking about the float system in the toilet and applying the concept to a water bowl/bucket.

I could probably do this if you don’t mind that it would be ugly. Give me a few days to try and work something out. I will need to make a trip to Home Depot. But if anyone has a better solution that would be great. And If I can get it to work I would like to be reimbursed for parts and shipping.

The bowl you posted is much cheaper then what I could make it for. For what I was thinking was a minimum of 75$ to do a good job.

Oh, you guys are great. JP, I was trying to figure out how to make one, myself yesterday. I thought it would be a fun project but given the things I should be doing with my time, projects are on the back burner. :~) Cheebdragon, thank you for finding the bowl. It’s exactly what I need.

You two rock. ;~)
