FAQs

What is the capacity of this drinker?

The Supa Poultry Water Drinker has a capacity of 12 litres.

Can this drinker be used for chicks?

While it can be used for larger chicks and growing birds, its size and the water depth might be too much for very young chicks. Smaller, chick-specific waterers are often recommended for day-old chicks.

How often should I clean the drinker?

It is recommended to clean the drinker at least once a week, or more frequently if it becomes soiled to ensure water hygiene for your birds.

Is this drinker suitable for outdoor use year-round?

Yes, it is designed for outdoor use. However, in freezing temperatures, the water may freeze. You may need to take precautions or bring the drinker indoors during severe frost.

How do I prevent contamination from bedding or droppings?

Placing the drinker on a raised platform or hanging it can significantly reduce contamination from bedding material and bird droppings. Regular cleaning also helps maintain water purity.

Where is this product made?

This product is made in the UK.

Troubleshooting

Water not flowing to the base

Ensure the drinker is assembled correctly and the base is tightly sealed. Check that the water level in the reservoir is sufficient and that the drinker is not tilted excessively.

Leaking from the base connection

Disassemble and reassemble the base, ensuring the seal is clean and properly seated. If the seal appears damaged, contact the manufacturer for a replacement part.

Water appears cloudy or dirty quickly

Clean the drinker more frequently. Consider hanging the drinker to keep it away from bedding and droppings, or placing it on a raised platform.

Birds are not drinking from it

Ensure the water is fresh and clean. Verify the drinker is placed in an accessible location for the birds and that they are accustomed to this type of waterer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction for extended lifespan.
  • Helps maintain cleaner drinking water for birds.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the drinker is placed on a level surface or hung securely at an appropriate height for your birds. For ground use, ensure the base is stable. For hanging, use a strong chain or wire.
  2. Fill the main reservoir with fresh water.
  3. Carefully screw the base onto the reservoir, ensuring a tight seal to prevent leaks.

Compatibility:

This drinker is compatible with chickens, ducks, turkeys, geese, and other game birds. It is designed for standard poultry care setups.

Care:

Regular cleaning is essential for bird health. Clean the drinker weekly, or more often if visibly soiled:

  1. Disassemble the drinker.
  2. Wash all parts with warm water and a mild, non-toxic detergent. A soft brush can be used for stubborn residue.
  3. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap.
  4. Allow to dry completely before reassembling.
  5. Inspect for any damage before refilling.
