Does anyone use the nipple water drinkers?

Yes, I agree with you, emit the shipping was a bit ridiculous. I ordered mine from tek supply and when I received them, they were in a padded envelope with a catalog (a thick one) and gloves! Who cares! Just put them in a padded envelope and send it cheaper. When I order them again in the future, I will definitely call and request that. It ran me about 20 dollars with the shipping, I ordered 5 nipples and 5 extra grommets, worked out to about 4 dollars a waterer. Still a steal, but come on!

But.....I couldn't live without them now!

Yes they do get you on the shipping but great nipples. Saved me a lot of cleaning waterers due to the dust getting in there (dirt floor).
 
So, it sounds like everyone that uses them is happy with them. Correct? Hhmmm, a pretty cheap way to keep the litter dry, I am thinking!

Then what do you do differently with them in the winter?
Thanks.
 
Winter...I'm thinking about drilling another hole in the bucket and adding an immersion heater that is designed for bird baths.

So do you all leave the lid off the milk jug? What about putting a small hole in the lid so that nothing can fall into the jug?
 
You know the whole in the lid sounds like a grate idea. I am pretty ingenious but you got me on that one.


I just got an order for some of these from Ebay.. now they came from china and the design is very similar and they sold them 20 in a set. So I bought 2 sets. even with shipping they worked out to $2.24 ea. Better than some with the high shipping.
If many of use need some let me know and I will buy a larger amount and we can all split to what you want for a bit less.

here is the link to see them.
they also have other designs for fitting your needs.

I installed one and it works great so I bought 40 more. woohoo
just thought I would share and offer
 
Love the nipples from Farmtek. Our water storage consists of 15 gallon jugs that you can get at your local Pepsi or Coke bottling plant. I think we paid around $5.00/jug. Gives you plenty of water storage for a very cheap price with the nipples. Hope this helps.

the one on e bay has threads in them to tap into a pipe the others have a rubber piece that goes on them The rubber piece keeps it from leaking water around it

the ones with threads don't leak. They are self taping. I use them for the thicker plastic. they work great. cj
