Just bought a few last month. Super easy to install, but after the first week it leaked all over the coop. We tightened it and it worked great for another week, then it leaked all over again. Gave up after the third leak and am now using a standard waterer in the coop and a tub in the run. I will try to use the mini cup drinkers again on a different container, but I was not very impressed after a few weeks if use.

Yes we bought about 15 of them. Boy we thought they were great even at $11 ea. Then after a week to 10 days they started leaking. They were not leaking at the connection, they were overflowing! First one then two or three finally nearly all of them were doing it in less than a month. I called the vendor and they said there is a float inside that had gotten clogged jamed whatever. Well if they are going to clog after a week or three just from the gunk off of the chickens beak the they are absolutely USELESS !!!!!! Glad to finally be able to tell someone this.

Same story. Bought two and mounted to a 5 gallon bucket. They were fine for two weeks and then leaked. I took it apart and everything seemed to work fine. But they still leaked. Now it is time to modify for nipple waterers.
