Affordable fully automatic poultry drinking trough measuring 50 cm in length, with 8 drinking openings and an integrated float valve. The covered universal float automatically regulates the water level. Designed for suitable high- and low-pressure drinking systems, with a connection for 3/8" tubing.
This automatic drinking trough provides a practical, economical way to supply chickens and other suitable poultry with drinking water. As the birds drink and the water level falls, the integrated float valve opens and allows fresh water to flow into the trough. Once the required level has been restored, the valve closes again.
This reduces the need to refill a conventional open drinker manually, provided that the connected water supply remains available.
With a 50 cm trough length and 8 drinking openings, several birds can access the water at different positions. The cover with individual openings limits the exposed water surface and helps reduce contamination from bedding and other debris.
Automatic Water Level Control with Float Valve
The integrated float valve responds to changes in the water level:
-
When the water level falls, the valve opens and allows water to enter.
-
When the water level rises to the intended height, the valve closes.
-
The drinking water supply is therefore replenished as it is consumed.
The float valve is covered, reducing direct exposure to the birds and dirt. The system operates mechanically and does not require electricity.
For Suitable High- and Low-Pressure Systems
The drinking trough features a universal float specified for use with suitable high- and low-pressure drinking systems.
Different water supply arrangements may be used:
-
Low pressure: Water can be supplied from an elevated reservoir or a suitable pressure-balancing tank.
-
High pressure: Connection to a suitable pressurised system is possible only if the actual inlet pressure is within the approved operating range of the installed float valve.
Eight Drinking Openings and Practical Dimensions
The 50 cm trough features eight separate drinking openings. These allow several birds to drink from different positions without exposing the entire water surface.
The trough is 12 cm wide and has a drinking height of 7.5 cm, making it practical for suitable poultry housing and rearing areas.
Always choose an installation height appropriate for the species and size of the birds.
Economical Alternative to Premium Drinking Troughs
This model is designed as an economical automatic drinking solution with a simple float valve. It provides the key functions of an automatic poultry drinker at an attractive price.
Compared with more sophisticated troughs and float valve systems, this is a simpler design. Correct installation and regular checks of the float mechanism are therefore particularly important.

Instructions for Use and Safety
Position the drinking trough securely at a height appropriate for the birds. Connect the 3/8" inlet to a suitable water supply.
Before operation, verify that the inlet pressure is approved for the actual float valve installed. Where necessary, use an appropriate pressure regulator or pressure-balancing tank.
After connecting the water supply, check that the float valve opens and closes correctly and that all connections are watertight. Continue to inspect the valve regularly, especially after cleaning or making changes to the water system.
Clean the trough and drinking openings regularly. Prevent bedding, debris or other foreign material from interfering with the float mechanism.
When connected to a public drinking water supply, comply with the applicable requirements for drinking water hygiene and backflow prevention.
Automatic water replenishment does not replace daily checks of the birds' drinking water supply. Protect the system from freezing conditions.
