Heated and pressurized watered?

[marrobgrow]

I am in the process of setting up a pressurized watering system for my chickens, however, it needs to be heated in the winter. Does anyone know of a watering system that meets these needs?

I haven't tried that yet, but sometimes in the plumbing industry they use something called heat tape on copper and steel piping. It's electrically heated wire they wrap around piping to stop it from freezing . But I'm not sure if the water would be to hot for the chickens but I believe it turns on at a pre-set temperature.

Not the most pro way, but you can use a small cabin sized water heater and a hot water recirculatory pump... Water heaters on 'vacation' setting usually run about 50 degrees...

Horizontal poultry nipples in a 5 gallon bucket with a small stock tank heater worked great for me.
