Siphon Drinker
Siphon Drinker
Made of heavy-duty plastic, this Siphon Drinker stands on three legs, holding the water station up to keep the water fresh and free of contamination. Use for chickens, ducks, or other poultry. It is suitable for approximately 35-40 chickens.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Top cap with O-ring must be tightened properly or Siphon Drinker will leak and not function.
Siphon Drinker Instructions:
- Slide the blue ring down the outlet tube to cover the outlet hole.
- Fill the tank from the top and screw the top cap back on tightly enough for the tank to be airtight (but not so tight that it damages the cap or tank).
- Raise the blue ring to allow the water to come out of the hole. Once the water level in the saucer covers the hole, the water will stop flowing and a vacuum is created in the tank.
As the hens drink the water, it will be replenished in the saucer. If you find the water overflows, it is usually because the tank is not airtight. This can be solved by checking the screw cap and perhaps smearing some vaseline inside the cap seal (sometimes this is needed with new tanks until they 'bed in.') Place on a level surface.
