The new Kuhl Plastic-matic round drinker is ideal for both young chicks or older birds. They can be set on a stand for mature birds, it can be used in smaller pens for breeders or for exhibition poultry. It operates with a float valve, as pictured. Comes complete with 12" of hose and a "T" connection for continual use. It is easily attached to the "T" connection so that continuous runs can be made. The float valve operates on a pressure from 1 to 50 PSI. It has a positive shutoff. It has an adjustable water level and it is easy to clean both inside and out, as pictured. The pan for this unit has a 9" diameter and is 1-3/4" high.
This unit works off of a LOW PRESSURE system. We recommend using a Pressure Reducing Valve with this waterer. You can find this on our site and if you have any questions about this please contact us.
We use these with five gallon pails of water. Just set the bucket a couple of feet higher than the waterer. That way they go anywhere we need them and are super easy to fill.
