Could the hose be used to fill a smaller water bottle? My dog hikes with us and has his own "water bottle" which I have to refill pretty frequently, just wondering if I would need to carry a separate water container for his water.

Ah, the old Tanker trick. Yes, it will work. I do the same thing for my son, though he learned very young how to get water out of the camelbak

the tub actually comes in two different sizes. one for the smaller dogs and of course one for the larger dogs. i really don't know the dimensions but it should be on the product ad. i would just recommend using out of the tub but putting the hose in the tub to drain. then the size of the tub doesn't matter. this will also probably let your hose last longer as it won't be bent or coiled anywhere while in use.

It would hold water easily but I'd be concerned the plastic would rip off you tried to carry it with the water in it. For holding water, for sure it would work well.

I would think it would. You would probably have to refill it a time or 2 throughout the day if for no other reason then so they have fresh water. It does drip some but if you read the direction and take the time to fill it correctly it does not drip a lot. I know some other people who use this as primary water source for their small dog and it works.

Yes. Have used this for a good 10 years on many a long hike with my three dogs. Its just about the perfect way of carrying extra water plus a dinner/water dish to boot. Pretty much indestructible.

I use a big water bottle, so usually carry it inside my bag. Seems like if using a standard size, it would fit okay. Sorry that I couldn't be more help!

Mixing it with water from the hose dilutes it, so if you have another container, pour half in that and save for later. It will leave more space in the original container for the water from the hose.

Yes, I can only fill my 2 liter camelback half way, then I jam it into the side compartment. It does have a top hole for the hose, no clips or attachment for mouthpiece.

While I don't have a pocket hose, my neighbor does, so I can gauge the size. The pot would be way too big when the pocket hose was not in use. I have a 100 foot hose in the pot; it should hold the pocket hose when filled with water as well.

Of course, we use it for the garden. The reason we bought it, though, was to fill the dog water bowls. Regular garden hoses have lead (or so I have heard).

Hello there, I bought the hose to allow the use of a large propane container rather than the small ones that the unit is designed for. I don't plan to move the grill around or use it portably so buying a lot of small containers vs. a large one once in awhile made both monetary sense as well as environmentally friendly sense. The hose fits a standard propane tank and the grill nicely and is just right as far a length was concerned for me. If you plan to use it portably there is no point but if it will be stationary you will save money and a lot of trips for more small cans. I hope this answers your question and is helpful. By the way there are other solutions from a variety of companies but they all require a lot of fittings to make it work and this opens the door to a host of other problems.

My husband and I have the smallest one and it is enough for us. Just have to refill it first thing in the morning, last thing at night and a couple of times during the day. If you don't have time to re-fill it that often, you are better off with a bigger one. Be sure you empty the bottom before you re-fill the top, otherwise it will overflow.

This small piece of hose is used in conjunction with another hose (it attaches to a regular hose through a hose container). The regular hose is used under pressure, so I would have to assume yes.

I use with an Osprey Stratos 36 that has a compartment for a hydration pack.Not sure but don't know why you couldn't put in pack and snake hose up through top of pack. Just my 2 cents. Hope this helps.

I tried with a 12oz bottle. I was told that unless there is a "stopper" in the tube (as what would be in a gerbil or rabbit water bottle) as DSchwertner says, that there is too much pressure on the bottle contents, thus creating a constant drip.A smaller bottle may work, like a 6oz, but I am not sure. I haven't found a different product to use.

I love that water bottle and you will too. I have two African Ridge Backs and although they are not as large as your mastiff they are a sizable dog. The dog will smell the water and lick it and from there he will know where he can get water from. If you put it outside and I did, do not place in or near sun as the metal nozzle will be to hot for them to drink from.I have my bottle hanging from there dog run, I got it because I got tired of mess the water bowl caused. You will need to order the larger one as I found this a bit on the small size for a dog as large as mine, so I order two. If you ever had a hamster as a kid, It is basically a hamster watering system just on a much larger scale. I love that water bottle and you will too.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't leave the water in the cup and take it with you. It actually comes with a pouch that can be used for carrying it places.
