Instructions
Visit a local pet store, feed store, or search online in order to find a gravity water bottle or dish that is designed to be used with a recycled two-liter pop bottle. Purchase the dish. Take the labels off of the pop bottle as well as the new dish.
Use warm water and mild soap in order to thoroughly clean the pop bottle as well as the dish. Rinse everything thoroughly and allow the dish and bottle to dry before using them. The Pet Dog Cat Supply Store website has an example of a Petmate dish that is designed to hold a two-liter pop bottle.
Fill the two-liter pop bottle with fresh water. Place the pop bottle upside down into the slot that is attached to the water portion of the dish. Once the bottle is in place, the dish will fill up but the natural vacuum and pressure in the bottle will keep the water from overflowing.
Place the dish on a flat surface so that the water supply is kept level. The Petmate dish also has a steel bowl that is removable for supplying the pet with food as well as water. Make sure that your pet has an adequate supply of food and water at all times.
