Watering can No stress

This instructable arises from the need to have something that is halfway between a watering can traditional and a rubber for water, combining the advantages of one to the other without presenting large incidents.
It's a watering can that is continuously fed through a rubber
the water that fills continuously but that, if we stop to rest for a bit until you upload is full and no overflows.

Step 1: The heart of the system

The heart of the whole construction is the tap propelled by a float that is used in the water tank discharge the W.C.
The second image shows how will their tubes, but, of course, still lacks something.

At first I thought "Why?. Then when I thought a bit longer, I thought "Smart!".

Interesting, but you can buy this weird thing to put on the end of the hose which sprays water all over the garden! :-)

Yes, I know. indeed with that tool does and is not even heavy as a watering can, however I wanted to prove himself to make it happen to have the satisfaction of water with the delicacy of the aspersorium and without having to load never.Thank you.

I know that probably English is not a very familiar language to you, I would like to say that I really loved the way this comment is phrased. and I think this idea - of using the automatic valve shutoff of a WC(toilet) tank for any vessel is brilliant.

Thanks, you're human!

Cut the top off and have an always full water dish for pets, or in one of those capillary action watering trays. I like.

I love it! If you could find a quick release for the hose with a valve, it would be nice and portable, too.

A clever adaptation, the float is a nice touch. Any issues with the float when container is tipped?

Maybe consider installing a hose-bib on the container to shut the water off a backup if you're away from the house.

Yes, probably some small change can be helpful. Please note however, that is a realization experimental rather than a finished product. Thanks for the compliments to you.
