How to Use
- Filling the unit is done through the top of the tank.
- While filling, the spigot is sealed by a rubber key style bung.
- Once you place the tank onto the tripod, remove the bung, slacken the carry handle and let the pan fill.
- Once it covers the outlet pipe, tighten up the carrying handle creating a vacuum that controls the release of water as your birds drink.

Hens love it and so do we! Purchased two 7.5 gal and one 2.5 gal tripod water. Secured the red key to the lid or top with fishing line. On hot days add ice cubes to the water tray. Great quality and easy install. The children (7 and 11) eagerly help with maintenance! Highly recommended.

Waterer works great. My pullets went right to it.

Bought one a few years ago. Worked well the first year, now the water just runs out no matter how level it is. Up until that point, it was perfect!

Perfect for my super dirty ducks! Bought the largest one and now I only have to fill once a day instead of 3-4x a day like my last one. Who has time for that?!?! Wish there was a place to store the red key stopper on the waterer so I don’t misplace as much. I ended up putting a zip tie on it and just let it hang around the top handle. Also wish it was easier to get the stopper in & out while filling, but that’s trivial compared to the time saving this has helped me with. Thank you!

It is built of thick plastic, but there are a few things that could/should be improved. The tray unsnaps from the legs easily when moving it around and the tray itself should be deeper than it is. It's "deep" tray is touted as a positive design feature (and it is), but it isn't near as deep as is implied. My other waterers have deeper trays. Also, the bung design is highly frustrating. It is not easy to get it in/out of the hole, making filling the waterer less than pleasant. You get used to it (and better at dealing with it), but it should be designed better (a ball valve would be a far better choice) --- even a rubber cap on the bottom would be a far better choice (if it would work reliably --- but my choice would be a ball valve). I will continue my search for a waterer that is better suited to frequent moves on uneven terrain.
