We have pushed and pushed on the lid and it still keeps leaking. The hole is definitely under the edge of the pan. Anyone tried sealing the inside with Vaseline to create a barrier?

In reply to Mary Martel. I take it out and fill it through the bottom holes then flip it back into the pan.

So I just did this for my chickens, but how can I fill the bucket up all the way when the lid needs to be sealed to create the vacuum?

In reply to Caleb. We take it out, flip it over and fill it through the holes we cut and then flip it back into the pan. Not ideal for everyone.

How do you actually fill the water bucket? Seems impossible…. Easy to make, impossible to fill.

In reply to Sandy. Either the holes are higher than the pan you are having the water go into or your bucket isn't airtight, those are the two reasons the water over flows.

I made the water bucket and pan just as the directions, the water over flows until it gets down to the top of the hole??
