I didn't use one attached to the spigot.

I used one attached to a big bottle. It was supposed to be "self vacuum
sealing", which did NOT work very well. I used it attached to the crate,
when moving from the US to Germany. I attached the "original water bowl"
directly under that bottle as some "catchment tank". I didn't want my dog
to lie on a wet blanket. When I got my dog back (after ~ 12 hours) the
"catchment tank" was full and the blanket was a little wet under the
bottle.
It also was constantly dripping in the living room, when I trained my dog
to use it (she did not like to put her tongue on metal). With car and plane
movements, the dripping - of course - became even worse.

However, I think with having enough pressure from a water pipe against the
metal ball (which you don't have in a bottle), it might be working very
well.

In the backyard we also had one of those "self-filling" bowls, attached to
the hose. That bowl (plastic) showed very quickly very nasty sediments. So,
I am back to "normal bowls", refilled several times each day, which is not
practicable in a dog park.
I think Janet's idea of "bring your own" and/or have a "refill station for
humans" could be a good (and simple to do) solution.

The one I tried leaked like crazy. Maybe I had a cheap one though.
Wonder how they would hold up below freezing?
