I did not want to drill through the fountain basin, so this little gadget did the trick. The installation was so easy, and for the price, well worth it.

Got this for my dogs water tub

It will never shut off

Go with the metal one! Bought 2 plastic ones online because the metal one would take longer to arrive, and the feed store had Covid hours. They both broke after a week, when I went to clean the troughs. The first one broke when I was removing the hose, I figured it was my fault (maybe I was too forceful or something). I was so careful with the second one but the exact thing happened.Luckily the feed store had a metal one (same brand) and it works great, we bought more for all the troughs. I remove it from the trough now before take the hose off, although I don’t think it’s necessary with the metal one. They fit on all the troughs - commercial rubbermaid, balen metal, old mineral tubs, etc.

Works great attached to the box inside my pond skimmer filter. Have been using for a month now and no issues.

Works like a charm! Love not having to worry about my horses water level during these super hot days.

Using to keep my pool’s water level up while traveling. Great value and very easy to set up.

They are great I should of checked tractor supply first they are 10.99 there . So I over paid

I was skeptical upon ordering the Trough-O-Matic since I have been through so many varieties of auto-fills for my pond over 25 years. Honestly, I had ordered another traditional type at the same time and went with that last year. This year I decided to give the Trough-O-Matic a try. I am glad that I did! I have had it working for 3 months already and there have not been any of the tradtional problems like not turning off or on which seem to be the common problems with most of them. Surprisingly, in spite of my initial appraisal this thing has turned out to be sturdy, functional and very easy to install. It is very easy to adjust and that is done by simply loosening the included brakets then sliding the unit up or down. I use an isolated pump area where I installed a 2 x4 that holds the Trough-O-Matic. I am delighted with it after fighting for years with conventional and not so conventional attempts to have a trouble free auto fill and the Trough-O-Matic has been trouble free so far. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has endured the same frustrations that I have over the years. I do not worry about coming home after a short trip now to find a very low pond or one that is overflowing!

Perfect
