From Home Depot or Lowes I would assume? I know where I am going at lunch time ....

I see the pics on Adams site under the Piebald section. Is that the coupler or the adapter that you mentioned?

I use the couplers from Home Depot ... they fit perfect in my CB-70's ... I think they're around $3 each. :sweeet:

He says he uses the coupler, but I bought the part he said and it didn't work.

At home depot, just pick up the 4" female adapter. It's got a thread on one side.. the deli cups fit perfectly in that side.

Correct. I would wait untill you have your sample cups and take one there to test fit. I know I looked like a dork fitting a deli cup into various PVC parts at HD but so what?!? Lol :P

Old blurry pic, but the coupler works great in 200 of my tubs!

Sorry to hijack your thread Brad ....


:grabbed:

But one more quick stupid Q, do you guys/gals that are using the deli cups just throw them away? Or do you save all the dirty ones and then do a mass cleaning and eventually cycle them back through?

You don't need to be fitting a deli cup into various PVC parts at HD to look like a dork. :banana: :fest2: :wuv:

We throw them out every week. Well worth it! ... If I wanted to wash, I'd just use ceramic bowls.

One of the nicest things about the deli cups for me, is if I come into the shop on a feeding day or a non mass cleaning day and someone has dooted or urinated into their water dish, I can give them a clean deli cup in about 1/2 a second ... and just wash the holder on regular cleaning day ... the time savings is HUGE for me.

The spray and wipe cleaning is really a wash one way or the other, but using deli cups is like doing a 30 minute soak in disinfectant every single week on every single water dish.

For about .06 cents a piece I'd probably just chuck them

Yeah, I see your point .... :oops:

So that brings me to my next last stupid question, how often then does everybody change the water dishes? We have been doing it every other day. Is it OK to go longer in between?
