Install the Bainbridge A8003 ball-type drinker to your water supply line using the poly pipe connection fitting provided. Adjust the water pressure to between 20-40 PSI for optimal operation. Mount the drinker at an appropriate height for your livestock—typically 60-75cm for cattle, 50-60cm for horses, and 30-40cm for sheep. Turn on the water supply and check that the ball mechanism operates smoothly with no leaks. Tips: Position the drinker in a well-drained area to prevent muddy surrounds and reduce algae growth. Regularly inspect the ball valve for debris or mineral deposits, especially in areas with hard water. Keep the drinker in a shaded location when possible to minimise algae development and water temperature fluctuations.

Common Questions

What size drinker do I need for my chickens?

The 6.5LT size is recommended for chickens aged 6 to 12 weeks of age. If your birds are between 4 to 6 weeks old, you'd be better off with the smaller 0.6 litre or 1.3 litre sizes instead.

Will this drinker hold up in the Australian sun?

Yes. It's made from strong, sturdy UV stabilised plastic that's designed to withstand the Australian climate, so it won't break down or become flimsy in the sun.

Is this drinker suitable for birds with big combs?

Yes. The higher neck of this drinker is specifically designed to suit birds with big combs, so they can drink comfortably without getting in their way.

What's included with the drinker?

The drinker comes with a wire handle at the top, which makes it easy to carry and hang.
