Kane Portable Waterer
Automatic waterer for small groups of rams, billies, show sheep, orphan lambs, poultry, dogs, etc.
We have had two of these in use for several years at Premier. They work well when temperatures are above freezing.

The fittings aren’t quite water tight. It drips constantly. Makes too much of a mess in the chicken run.

I really like these waterers. They’ve made my life a lot easier for my chickens and my sheep when it’s not freezing temperatures. I think the only thing that I have to complain about is the first ones that I bought were nicer and cheaper in price and they had brass hose attachments. Now they come with plastic hose attachments which seem to break a lot easier. I would suggest switching them to brass when you buy them. Do not use with pigs; they destroy them.

I purchased this for my chickens and turkeys. I have an IBC tote that sits on cinder blocks and gravity feeds to this waterer. Went from watering chickens everyday to once a month.

Kane has changed these waterers. We’ve had a couple old ones for a couple years that worked great. The new version has a different float and hose fitting. The threads on the float aren’t long enough to tighten the hose fitting so it leaks. And the garden hose fitting is a cheap plastic piece that won’t tighten up nice like the old brass fittings did so it leaks too. Tried using Rectorseal 5 instead of tape and even that won’t stop the leak. Looks like a big fail to me.

I was skeptical but I really love this waterer. Definitely worth the money I use it for my flock of 250 chickens 60 sheep and over a hundred pigs. I would suggest taking a heavy duty plastic pallet and bolting it to the pallet so the pigs do not destroy it though. Easy to clean and it shuts off if it flips over which is awesome. This has saved me so much time and stress especially on hot days worrying about if the animals are going to run out of water.
