1. An animal water container comprising:
a container having an inlet opening and an outlet opening, the inlet opening positioned below the outlet opening;
a water hose connected to the inlet opening, said water hose being adapted to pass fresh water into an interior of said container, the outlet opening adapted to allow water from the interior of said container to be released outwardly of said container; and
a nozzle affixed to the inlet opening, said nozzle positioned adjacent a bottom of said container, said nozzle adapted to direct an unobstructed pressurized flow of water toward the bottom of said container so as to pressure wash, clean and remove debris from the interior of said container, said nozzle having a reduced diameter discharge port adapted to pressurize the flow of water from the inlet opening, the reduced diameter discharge port having a stadium shape with an upper side and a lower side in parallel relation to each other, the lower side extending generally parallel to the bottom of said container, the flow of water being in a bottom-to-top-toward bottom circular pattern.
