FAQs

How often should I clean the poultry drinker?

It is recommended to clean the drinker daily or every other day to ensure the water remains fresh and to prevent the buildup of algae or bacteria, especially in warm weather.

What types of poultry can use this drinker?

This drinker is suitable for a wide variety of poultry, including chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, peacocks, pheasants, quails, pigeons, and guinea fowl.

Can this drinker be used indoors?

Yes, it can be used indoors, but ensure it is placed on a level, water-resistant surface and that the area is well-ventilated.

How do I prevent rust on the metal parts?

Dry the drinker thoroughly after each cleaning. Avoid leaving it in persistently wet conditions. A light coating of food-grade mineral oil can offer protection during long-term storage.

What are the dimensions of the drinker?

The dimensions are: 21.5cm diameter of the inner cone x 31cm height (excluding handle), with a base diameter of 31cm. The total height including the handle is 35cm.

Is the handle strong enough for carrying when full?

The handle is designed for carrying and suspension. While it is robust, exercise caution when carrying the full 9-litre capacity, as it will be heavy.

Troubleshooting

Water not flowing from the top reservoir

Ensure the base is securely locked onto the reservoir. Check that the seal between the base and reservoir is clean and free of debris. The water level in the reservoir must be above the opening for gravity to work.

Drinker appears to be leaking

Verify that the base is tightly sealed to the reservoir. Inspect the seal area for any damage or foreign objects. Check for any dents or damage on the metal parts that might compromise the seal.

Water becomes dirty quickly

Clean the drinker more frequently. Consider placing the drinker on a raised platform or ensuring the coop floor around it is clean and dry to minimize kicked-up dirt. If suspended, ensure it's not positioned directly above dusty areas.
