I second the motion! If you can't find the "Lixit" or "Quick Quench," the
third best is the clear plastic bottles with a STRAIGHT, not bent, nozzle.
My experience is the bent metal nozzles are as stubborn as those glass tubes
you have now. Too many times I found out, before it was too late, that they
won't let the water down.
Again, Lixit or Quick Quench is the best. They can be found at both PetsMart
and PetCo.
