Is it possible to use drinking water trough?

It probably isn't a good idea. Its plastic might not be safe for drinking water and you certainly don't want to confuse it for a gas can. Check out Jerry Jugs or Jerry cans. I just looked at some on Amazon that will probably suit your needs. You'll see that some are specifically designed and meant for water. I hope this helps.

I agree with the concern about storing drinking water in a plastic container of this type, not to mention the possible confusion as to whether it is gasoline. Otherwise, there is no reason that I can think of, which would prevent storing such a liquid in the container.

Distilled water is best. If your tap water is low in minerals, it should work fine.

I never tried that. I stopped carrying the bowl part because my dog likes me to just squirt a stream of water out and he drinks it like drinking from a garden hose. The bottle holds a good amount though, and you could just put a small amount of it in the bowl at a time. I don't think you might want to put the used water back in there considering the germ factor.

Yes you can but it will be difficult to do. On glass I use a homeade cleaner that works great 2 cups water 1/2 tsp dawn 1/4 cup white vinegar" good luck!

A typical, off the shelf garden hose, is not suited for drinking water as it contains a different lining inside the hose. It is not recommended to use a non drinking water hose for drinking water due to the possible leaching of potentially harmful chemicals used to manufacture a non drinking water hose. Drinking water hoses are specifically designed to protect against those chemicals.

I would not recommend that. While it appears square the top of the vessel is rounded and you will still have a small area between that will form a trough. e.g. m

no not really. the top 1/2 of the container is a reservoir for filtering the water and the bottom 1/2 is processed/filtered water. it is not convenient for work. you do have to get up often to refill it.

you can use filtered tap water (like from a brita) . it works better than just tap water.

It was stated not to use this water for drinking water, but that it was ok for watering the yard and garden. We use the barrel to store emergency water to be used for bathing and other uses that don't involve drinking it. We have a separate barrel which is food grade for storing potable water, though you still have to run it through a filter before drinking.

Haven't tried that. The paper is waxy, if your water was hot it might not work.

Yes, it works great just filling up the water from the top. You can then use filtered water if you want.

yes you can! Just make sure no water condensation drips on the filter, that would be bad for the filter.We got em in stock at SunflowerSupplies.com631-651-8281

Yes you can. That is how I do it. It is a little gritty but it is better if you use more water. I use 30 oz for 3 tbls. By the way it taste nutty. I actually like the taste.

Yes, you can. However if you need a lot of water it will take you a lot of time.

I don't think you can, as the water it uses is housed in the reservoir built on the device. That function also requires AC power.

Yes. But, if you have a lot calcium in your water I would use distiller water.

I would think it is okay to use it but if you have access to bottled water I would play it safe and use that. I look at the lifestraw as a last ditch aid in getting drinking water.
