    I have a self-filling, self-cleaning water bowl for my dogs. With two Great Danes, keeping the water bowl clean and full is a chore.

    Right now it uses a digital timer and does an empty/fill cycle 16 times per day using those capacitive water sensors for the level setting and overflow detection. In a future iteration I plan on incorporating MQTT via WiFi for alerts and manual control.

        I would also like to know this, best I could come up with was one of those electric water cooler pumps that fit over the top of the bottle.

      Self cleaning? Is it something you made or what’s the name is it? I’d be interested in details either way

      I really want a fancier water fountain for my cats but never found a self cleaning one :(
