How to use
Install reservoir so it is higher than the waterer. This allows for proper water flow.
Tips
- To raise water level: Loosen the lock ring on the flow control shaft, thread the control ring into the shaft. Tighten lock ring.
- To lower water level: Loosen the lock ring on the flow control shaft, thread the control ring out of the shaft. Tighten lock ring.
- Loosen the control ring until shaft is entirely removed from the housing.
- Loosen the white ring at the base of the shaft. Pull out filter.
- Pull off the press fit filter. Spray with compressed air, shake in water or hose off the filter to clean of debris.
- Reassemble in reverse order.
- Check o-ring beneath filter to make sure there is no debris present that may block the seal.
Precautions
Use correctly sized hoses for best performance. Too small of hoses may be difficult to remove from waterer, causing stress on plastic inlets.
This is a gravity flow system, the reservoir and hose must be higher than the suspended waterer for proper flow. If the waterer does not fill, raise the reservoir.
If water continuously flows from the valve, no matter setting, remove the valve from the valve body. Activate the plunger at the base of the valve by pressing up and down several times. If water continues to flow from the valve when plunger is released, soak overnight in a bucket of water and retest. IF dripping continues, call us at 1-800-282-6631.

This waterer is really heavy duty and durable. We are very happy with our purchase of 3 and we will continue to use these waterers in the future.

Waterer is great quality, however, I assumed it came with everything you needed but a bucket to attach it to. It does not come with hose or fittings to attach it to anything. So buyer beware, you will need to spend another $15–$20 buying other parts to make it function. I would recommend selling as a package and customers would be more satisfied rather than having to figure it out on their own.

I think the quality of this drinker is good, however it is quite tall. I bought it to use in a chicken tractor for broilers, but because my chicken tractor is only two feet high and this waterer is around 19" tall, I will not be able to adjust the drinker up high enough when the birds get larger. I would not recommend this product for chicken tractors.

Had an issue with it leaking water. Turned out one of the screws wasn’t tightened properly. I had to take it all apart to figure out which one. After that it’s been working great.

Great product, but I think the tubing should be included with the waterer. You definitely don’t need 50ft. At best, 6-ft of tubing. I gave 4 stars because I had to order the tubing separately.
