I'm having surgery and can't bend over. Can water be added using the top, i.e. lid instead of putting water in and flipping it over? Pros and cons

This unit is designed to removed the water container and to remove the lid to fill it with water. Another option is to place this unit on an elevated surface and build a small bridge for your fur babies to get to the water. This may solve the issue of bending over. Good luck to you!

It can only be filled, and then flipped over. I actually really like the waterer, so do my dogs. Maybe if you partially filled it up it would be easier for you and not nearly as heavy. Good luck.

It can not be filled via the top. There is no lid. I'd suggest another bowl.

No. It has to flip over and is quite heavy as it holds approx three gallons of water.

there should be a turn cap on the plastic cup that you fill with water and solution.that is then put upside down into the unit.

I don't think you can add extra water. You just add what you need at the time.

You can use a flip top bottle but it will not fit all the way in the hole. You might have to prop it up.

my husband is a quadriplegic and uses it to build up the back of his shower chair. We have to use it upside down and it fills with water.............

I believe you could drink a smoothie through the spout. And if it clogs up at all you always have the option of taking the lid completely off to get to the last drop!

Tilt you have to work with and see whats best for you ....I would not microwave water......

Yep, fill it up from the top. The opening is a little small but manageable. It's easy to overfill though since you can't see the bottle.

That's what I'm using mine in. Thie edge curves up slightly to prevent liquids from running off. Love mine.

I took mine out due to I couldn't drink with it in. Mine fit in the bottom side of the top, but not very good in the top side. Email where you got it from & they can let you know how and if you can get one. Shirley

I have thought about this possibility, but have never done it. If you can take off the top and refill the bottle without damaging it; then it could be possible, but again it's highly unlikely. Good luck!

Probably. As I learned the hard way, it is impossible to get the top on snugly if the structure isn't perfectly level. I have it sitting on some gravel and it is mostly level. Eventhough the top isn't snug, it is fine and no water has leaked inside.

To a point. You can modify it with same silicone and make it more water resistant otherwise it says you can rinse it off and it will be fine. So a quick dip in the water without the modification.

dont try to pour all the water out or the inverted position will dislodge the filter and lid. when pushed firmly on, perpendicular pours work just fine without holding the lid. I refill often to keep enough water in to do this

The top screws on, but there's a tiny air hole in the cap that your drink can leak out of. If you're sure your cup won't end up upside-down, you should be fine.

Perhaps the top needle did not peirce the lid. I have found the plastic is a little too thick on the lid. I actually predrilled holes in the lid, and this helps.

That is exactly how I do it. I remove the whole top. It is easier to add water this way and much easier to mix things in with the water this way.
