Kane Portable Waterer
Budget-friendly automatic waterer for small groups of rams, billies, show sheep, orphan lambs, poultry, dogs, etc.

I bought the Kane Portable Waterer for my silkies. Attached a hose and the float keeps the water filled. My daughter has chickens and inquired on a water system so I ordered another to give to her. Worth it! Easy to clean, and again no worrying about containers falling or running dry. Great buy!

Great waterers!

This is my second Kane waterer. I use them for laying and broiler chickens—about 50 of each. I have a 50 gallon water tank in the loft of my barn, plumbed with a hose splitter and garden hoses to gravity supply water to the Kanes. Sure beats hauling water twice a day to all of those chickens. My first Kane is at least 5 years old and works perfectly. Very heavy duty. Highly recommended. As long as temps are above freezing these waterers make my life easy.

It’s humorous that the manufacturer couldn’t put TWO wraps of teflon tape on the hose fittings! What would that cost... maybe .003 cents more per unit. YES, I had to take it apart to add more tape so it would not leak. Otherwise I’d give it a five star rating.

Update on my earlier review: I was able to purchase replacement float valves from the manufacturer (at $17.80 each, not including shipping). Amazon sells some for less $ but I wasn't 100% certain they would fit. They came without the fittings, which was fine as I don't care for the knurled nut fitting on the hose end on the original waterer (I'd prefer an octagonal one so that I can get a wrench on it). I did purchase some double female threaded pipe to hose connector fittings from Amazon for them. What Amazon sent me was not as pictured - I received fittings with knurled nuts on the hose end, not octagonal ones. If anyone finds themselves in my situation, I recommend Green Thumb brand 1/2" x 3/4" double female threaded pipe to hose connector fittings. Amazon doesn't seem to carry them, but I was able to find some via an internet search.
