If the user fills the tank to capacity and turns it over without supporting the tray, the two will separate and release nearly all the water. The tray also has overflowed on several occasions, again creating a wet coop floor and necessitating a premature refill. I think this product could be improved with the following:
1. A few more screw threads to enable a more secure connection between tank and tray
2. A smoother interface for the tank and tray to enable a good seal. (Tray surface is not uniform.)
3. Include an O-ring or gasket to improve the seal.
For now, I smear on Vaseline to help make a better seal, but it's inconvenient and still not reliable for preventing overflow. I would gladly pay double the price I paid for a reliable product.
