Install the Bainbridge A8002 drinker by connecting it to a water supply line using the poly pipe fitting, ensuring the water pressure is between 20-60 PSI for optimal operation. Mount the drinker at an appropriate height for your livestock—approximately 0.5-0.7m for sheep, 0.8-1.0m for horses, and 1.0-1.2m for cattle. Fill the 4.0 litre ball chamber and allow livestock to familiarise themselves with the ball mechanism by gently pressing it to release water. Check that water flows freely and there are no leaks at connection points before leaving animals unattended. Tips: Position the drinker in shaded areas where possible to minimise algae growth and keep water cooler during hot weather. Regularly inspect the ball valve for debris or mineral buildup, and flush the system weekly to maintain water quality and prevent blockages. Install the drinker away from feed areas to reduce contamination and make daily visual checks to ensure water is flowing and the system is functioning properly.

Common Questions

What size drinker do I need for my chickens?

It depends on their age. For chickens between 4 to 6 weeks old, the 0.6 litre or 1.3 litre sizes are recommended. For chickens aged 6 to 12 weeks, go with the 4 litre or 6.5 litre. This 4.0 litre model suits the older birds in that range.

Will this drinker hold up in the Australian sun?

Yes. It's made from UV stabilised plastic, which means it's built to handle the Australian climate without breaking down or becoming brittle in the sun.

Is this drinker sturdy enough for regular use?

Yes. It's strong and sturdy—not flimsy plastic. It also has a wire handle at the top, which makes it easy to carry and move around the pen.

What's the higher neck design good for?

The higher neck on this drinker is designed to suit birds with big combs, so they can drink comfortably without catching their comb on the rim.
