Product Description
The KozyFill Automatic Bird Bath Filler keeps your bird bath full of fresh water. No need to ever carry water to your bird bath again. The KozyFill runs off gravity, so it uses no electricity or batteries. Unlike drippers, the KozyFill adds water to the bird bath only when water is needed. Air pressure forces water from the reservoir to rise to the same height in the bird bath. To clean your bird bath, simply dump the water and the KozyFill refills it. The KozyFill ensures that your bird bath never runs dry, even if you're on vacation. The KozyFill is simple to set up in five easy steps and it is made of durable materials to resist corrosion and scale build up. The water supply line is hidden in the pedestal of the bird bath for a clean uncluttered look. The KozyFill comes complete with fully assembled reservoir, 36-inch mounting pole, faucet Y-coupler with shutoffs, and 50 feet of tubing.Bird Scene 7KF KozyFill Automatic Bird Bath Filler Review
Bottom Line: If you have good to excellent water pressure at your hose bib, the water pressure will blow the supply line off, allowing water to freely flow onto the ground until the facet is turned off.Good News: Amazon agreed to allow me to return this item for a refund...typical 5 star Amazon customer service that brings me back again and again to shop with confidence.
I originally purchased this as a gift for my Sister and Brother and Law who live in the Southwest and have difficulty keeping their birdbath(s) filled in the extreme dry heat. However, I was unable to get the item to work at their house and I attributed the failure to their freeze-proof back-flow device. (Please note that the unit comes with a very cheep plastic Wye connector.)
I brought it home with me (where I have brass Wye connectors). Unfortunately, despite my best efforts I was unable to significantly tighten the supply line to prevent it from being blown-off by the water pressure. Using pliers I tried several times to tighten the supply side until I was afraid it would crack and break. I also barely turned on the shut-off on the Wye to no avail.
Notably, step 10 in the instructions in BOLD PRINT states: "Make sure the pressure does not push the Supply Line out of the Float Valve connection."
In my opinion, placing that statement in BOLD within the instructions indicates awareness by the manufacturer that this can be a significant problem. I believe a pressure reduction connection, such as is used in drip irrigation, would completely prevent this problem. However, I did not wish to invest additional funds attempting to correct this perceived, cost-cutting, engineering deficiency.
Thus, I am grateful that Amazon allowed a return. I would not buy this product again unless it undergoes significant re-design.
