Product Information
Full details
The Eton TS18 Poultry Drinker is an ideal solution for small-to-medium poultry keepers, including those raising chickens, quail, or aviary birds. Its primary strength lies in its 18-litre capacity and robust build, which significantly reduces the frequency of manual refills. While it provides excellent stability, users should note that the unit occupies a larger footprint than smaller gravity feeders, requiring adequate floor space within the coop or run.

FAQs
Is the Eton TS18 suitable for chicks?
While safe, the height of the tray may be too high for very young chicks; we recommend using it once the birds are slightly more mature or using a platform.
Can I use this for indoor aviaries?
Yes, its durable build works well in aviaries, though ensure there is sufficient space to accommodate the 18-litre footprint.
Are the legs included?
No, the optional legs are sold separately to provide flexibility based on your specific flock's needs.
How often should I clean it?
For flock health, rinse and scrub the drinking tray at least weekly to prevent biofilm growth.
What birds can use this drinker?
It is designed for chickens, quail, and various types of aviary birds.
Troubleshooting
Water is not flowing into the tray
Ensure the reservoir is correctly locked into the base and that the tank is not air-locked by debris in the flow channel.
The unit is leaking at the seal
Check the twist-lock mechanism for any debris or obstructions, and ensure the base is screwed on evenly without cross-threading.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-capacity 18-litre tank reduces daily chore time.
- Sturdy construction capable of withstanding daily outdoor use.
- Translucent design makes monitoring water levels effortless.
- Twist-lock mechanism provides reliable stability.
- Easy to carry via the built-in handle.
Cons
- Larger footprint may not be suitable for very cramped coops.
- Refilling an 18-litre container can be heavy for some users.
- Legs are sold separately rather than included in the base kit.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Eton TS18 is straightforward: simply fill the reservoir, align the base, and twist until you feel a firm lock. For optimal maintenance, perform a full cleaning of the base tray at least once a week to prevent algae or bacterial buildup. Always use a soft-bristled brush or damp cloth to clean the interior; avoid harsh chemical detergents that could leave residues harmful to your birds. The unit is compatible with most standard poultry housing, but ensure you measure your run height if you intend to install the optional legs, as the total height of the unit will increase.
