Bad design that could put pet health in danger

I have found this water bowl very difficult to use since I purchased it. Trouble getting the lid off, trouble getting it to screw out of bottom, and filter comes loose often. I thought the ring on the blue dish was solid - but it is hollow allowing slime and germs to accumulate. As you can see, the length of my fingers can reach up to the top of the ring. Very difficult to clean and visibly see if the much has been cleaned. I would not recommend this product.
