    I had the brilliant idea tonight when filling the water tray for animals to put the timer on and set it to a slow trickle. That’ll keep it topped up and I know some animals are more likely to drink from running water than still

      That’s genius. It would be so cool to have a solar powered water fountain recycling a tank of clean water (with a filter to sieve out mosquito larvae and kill them).

      Replacing the water and cleaning the fountain would be a job though.

      I did the slow release thing with blocks of ice before but now just fill an automatic water dispenser sold for pets

        Running water should be enough to stop mosquitoes but a filter would be great for everything else that gets caught in there. I think I’ll do the dribble timer next hot day we have too
