"I have in the past had those canister waterers and in the heat of an SC summer even in the house those jugs would get this layer of green that couldn't be cleaned because you can't get anything inside the jug to scrub it out.
I have had the Lixit product for over 5 years now and my dogs always have fresh cold water no matter what time of the day or night. I never have to worry that they are getting stagnant algae water if it has been extremely hot or there is rain water collected in their bucket. I don't have to worry that debris from trees or bugs are in their drinking water. It is truly one of the best things you can get for your dog and it is a cost savings because you aren't changing water daily to keep it fresh!"
