DIY: Pet Stainless Steel Water Dispenser / Fountain with 2 Liter bottle!!!

Last week my pet water dispenser / fountain broke.  Winky my cat was playing with the water and knocked it off the porch. I needed a to go on weekend trip and needed to make a temporary water dispenser for my cat. Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

I was in search of a new water fountain and found several online ( https://amzn.to/2M46saf ) that were good but were made of plastic. I liked my Daiso water dispenser as it used 1.5 liter tea beverage bottle that i can recycle and replace every couple of months if needed.  Alas, i was not able to find the water dispenser base.  I wanted a stainless steel base dispenser for ease of cleaning and durability ( https://amzn.to/2Ohi5qW ), however they were pricey and i didnt want to invert a bottle to refill.

My solution: DIY a stainless steel water fountain with a 2 liter bottle as a reservoir!   I bought a large stainless steel pet food bowl ( https://amzn.to/2OeJzgE ) and got recently finished 2 liter bottle of ginger ale soda with cap ( https://amzn.to/2KwQ0cV ).

Using a plastic cup to experiment, I cut a small triangle on the bottom to test the concept of using gravity pressure feed for the water dispenser. It worked. So I used a utility knife and scissors to cut a 1/2 inch (1 centimeter ) tall triangle 2 inches from the base of the bottle.  The tip of the triangle will be upper limit of the water level you want for the water bowl.  To fill the bottle, i place my finger over the triangle to stop water from draining. Uncap the top and fill the bottle.  Replace the cap.  I then place the bottle into the large bowl. It will drain until it reaches the top of the triangle and stop.

Simple  temporary solution to buying something more complex to supply 2 days of water to my cat.  The 2 liter bottle was a good size as it was not heavy to carry and handle.  It was also recyclable.

I hope this DIY was useful and will probably create a cleaner version of this water dispenser.  Anyways please like subscribe and stayed tuned for more DIYs and other pet stuff.

This is for video is for  entertainment, do so at your own risk or just buy a pet water fountain from a pet store.  I only needed this as it was a temporary fix. My neighbors fed and watered my cat when i was away.

How to Check and Add Air to Your Car’s Tires!

How to Check and Add Air to Your Car’s Tires! So i got this question from a viewer Kay.  She wanted to know how to check tire pressure and add air to her tires without losing air or deflating all the air from the tires.   Well the easiest way is to bring to a tire shop, or a tire professional to check your  tires and fill the tires.  This should be free of charge, cuz they want to sell you services ( tire rotation or diagnose tire issues etc…) or sell you new tires (if needed).  If your car is pulling to one side or noise is coming from wheels or a TMPS warning light or dashlight is flashing… you should probably get it to a tire professional.

OK – for general monthly maintenance of your tires’ air pressure:
How to add air to your car tires ( 10 minutes ):
1.  Find out how much tire is needed – Driver side sticker (minimum tire pressure needed and Tire side wall maximum tire pressure when the tires are cold.   – If in doubt – BRING IT TO A TIRE PROFESSIONAL or TIRE SHOP.
2.  You will need a tire pressure gauge ( https://amzn.to/2LM1m16 ).  Or your car may have tire pressure monitors in your car’s computer.  Or if you have an air inflation kit in your trunk, it will probably have a built in gauge.   Or the gas station air stations may have a built in tire gauge.
3.  The main tip for not losing air pressure when checking for tire pressure is to keep the tire nipple ALIGNED with the tire pressure gauge connection.  Pressing firming down.  Keeping both surfaces aligned and in contact is very important in order to not lose air.  It will lose a little air, but it will stop when completely sealed and measurement will appear.
4.  Subtracting air – Easy – Just use the tire gauge to leak air and check the air as you find your target pressure.

5. Adding Air:  Most tire adapters lock onto the tire nipple.  There several types:
A. Quick release types:  Typically inflation kits – with switch that pulls down to lock)
B. Push down types:  Typically  gas stations.  You need to light keep pressure onto the tire nipple as you hold a trigger to add air.
C. Pull back types: Typically  gas stations.  You need to pull back the locking collar and push the adapter onto the nipple, then release the locking ring.
D. Screw on types: Typically trunk inflation kits, very simple as you will need to screw the nipple and the tire adapter together. At a certain point, the tire air valve will open and you need screw the adapter further until it stops.

6.  Turn on the air inflator or push the on button to add air at the gas station.  I have a jumper air compressor at home ( https://amzn.to/2OnWEVY ), however you may have a emergency tire inflator in your trunk ( https://amzn.to/2mPHYlV )  – the air compressor is able inflate your tires . I check my emergency kit once a year to make sure it still works.
7. Keep an eye on the target air pressure (for example 35 PSI), add 1 PSI more to compensate for air loss when release the tire adapter.  When reached, stop  or turn off the air inflator.

8. Release the tire adapter.
9. Check the air pressure.
10.  Repeat for the other 3 tires. 🙂
