Ok, so I finally got an automatic system going. I don't know how
I ever lived without it.

Here's the pressure regulator:

It's connected to several things. The 1st is a waterer I got from
a turkey farm. It's used by my Freedom Rangers and Muscovy ducks.

(Yes, I know this isn't a chicken or a duck.)

Next, I have a 1/4" tubing connected to PVC which runs through a cage system.

This serves some chicks and several rabbits. The nipple system is great in that
it stays clean. Might be an issue in winter, we will have to see.

Here's the front of that cage with the resident cleanup crew working hard. I'm a big
fan of stacking. I've yet to have to shovel any rabbit manure.

What do you guys think? See room for improvements?
 
The pressure regulator is between the red tubing and the blue tubing.
I got it from Cutler Supply. It comes with the red tube to attach to
a standard facuet. It has two different adapters that it comes with
for the low pressure side. I'm using 1/4" tubing.

I have the Plasson Waterer too and have been very happy with it. I did replace the main O-Ring and all I ever have to do is occassionaly hose the dirt out of it.
