What customers say
Customers generally view the Little Giant Mason Jar Waterer Base very positively, especially appreciating its robust construction and practical design for small-scale poultry keeping. The galvanized steel is frequently cited as a major benefit, offering superior durability and rust resistance compared to cheaper plastic alternatives, positioning it as a reliable, long-term investment. It is particularly popular among those raising chicks or small flocks, as the design provides a clean, accessible water source that minimizes spillage and contamination, which is crucial for young birds. The convenience of using readily available standard mason jars is a significant selling point, simplifying setup and cleaning processes. However, sentiment is not uniformly perfect. A recurring minor frustration involves the fit; while designed for standard jars, some users report slight variations in threading that can occasionally lead to minor leaks if the jar isn't seated perfectly or if using jars from less common manufacturers. Furthermore, while excellent for chicks, some experienced users note that the capacity is quickly outgrown, necessitating frequent refills for larger or older birds. Despite these minor operational caveats concerning fit and capacity limitations, the consensus is that this base is a high-quality, dependable tool that effectively serves its intended purpose, earning strong recommendations from the poultry community for its longevity and practical, simple design.
Know before you buy
Yes, the rose is removable. This allows you to switch between a gentle shower for delicate seedlings and a steady stream for larger shrubs or deep-root watering.
Since water weighs approximately 8.3 pounds per gallon, a full 2.5-gallon (10-quart) can will weigh roughly 22.5 pounds, plus the 1.79-pound weight of the steel itself. The dual-handle design is specifically included to help distribute this weight for easier carrying.
The galvanized finish is specifically treated to resist rust and corrosion. However, to ensure the longest lifespan, it is best to store the can in a shed or garage when not in use to avoid prolonged exposure to harsh weather.
Yes, the wide opening is designed to accommodate most standard spigots and hoses, allowing you to fill the can quickly without excessive splashing or overflow.
While it is designed for outdoor and greenhouse use, it can be used indoors if you are careful. Its 10-quart capacity is quite large, so it may be cumbersome for small indoor pots compared to a smaller, specialized indoor watering can.
