Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Ok, so I was ready to return this and give it a 1 star rating. I bought the suggested accessories (the short garden hose and the brass addaptor) and I could not make it stop leaking at the adaptor connection to the waterer, as background i have installed most of our house bathroom and sink fittings so, i tried everything, a bit of teflon, a lot of teflon, pipe paste, and even tried sealing with silicone, nothing would stop it leaking, very frustrated, at the end i after trying to overtighten i even broke the threads. So after reading on other reviewer which suggested a different setup this is what finally fixed the leaks for good (which makes this a 5 star product), dont get the suggested parts!! go to your big box home improvement shop and get: 1/2in. MNPT x 3/4 in. FHT PVC Swivel Model# 53365 (this is to connect to the water hose or spigot) and a 1/2 in. IPS x 1/2 in. IPS x30 in. Faucet supply line Braided stainless steel , lenght depends on your application this works for installing next to the faucet get a shorter one if you are going to use a garden hose, both parts should run you a total of $11 and will assure no leaks, they y connector is optional depending on your setup. Be careful when threading the hose to the plastic as its easy to cross thread make sure they are aligned correctly. Hope this helps someone.
