    We are also on well water here on the farm and the water runs through a charcoal filter. We always get bits of charcoal in our washing machine filter. I have installed the little screens on all of my garden hoses and washing machine lines. Its a little 3/4 inch round indented screen that snaps...

    Chickens are very inquisitive that is for sure! The heat tape is a very rugged though some are molded right into a heavy duty PVC covering that is very very durable. The you can also get it in white where it just blends in with the PVC pipe that we use to construct the unit. The chickens may try...

    I'm trying hard but I'm committed to not releasing anything until I'm certain that not only will water keep from freezing inside the system but the drippers will not freeze. The drippers are the biggest issue right now although many customers have reported that wrapping the heat tape up against...

    Yes our system seldomly, if ever needs cleaning. I've had mine going for almost three years and have never cleand it, it just does not need it. The birds can not get to the water and contaminate it and we turn the water often. When water sits around it grows stale and algae begins to set in...

    That has always been the problem with nipple waters in the winter. The dripper itself holds a small amount of water and even if the water inside the unit is warm the little bit of water in the dripper freezes. We are working on a solution to this. We have a process to keep the drippers flowing...

    We have a test units in our freezers now and we will take it as low as the freezers allow. I only think that is around -4F. Right now we have been at 9F and we are having no freeze ups on the drippers. Heating the unit is the easy part, keeping the little bit of water inside the drippers from...

    No worriies you do not need a dedicated hose for each unit. Many people have multiple units and connect them together by using a "y" connection. These connectors are available at your local Lowe's or Home Depot and cost about $5.00. You simply run the hose from the spigot to the first unit...

    Hi MB! That is a very good question and one I don't have the answer for but I will.. The heater is 200 watts but has a internal thermostat so it is designed to cut off once the water reaches 41F Operating this way prevents the unnecessary expense of running it all the time. I will contact the...
