Automatic Waterer

[brewmiss96]

For $21.99!!

I tried to make an auto waterer from a 5 gallon bucket and a tank filler valve, could never get the seal to be tight enough to hold the suction. I found one of these at my local feed store and it worked wonderfully.

I would not recommend it for ducks, they love to dabble and the silt clogs it. I cleaned mine, bowl and the tank area, every 2 weeks without the ducks. For what I spent trying to make my own versus the cost of this, I think its worth it.

Just wanted to let you guys know!

You have not seen the great waterer that Future Chicken Man has made.

I think it is great.

Is is great and so easy & inexpensive to make.
I did change one thing in constructing it.
I did not cut my holes out until I had it set and filled. That way I could mark where to drill the holes.
