POULTRY DRINKER BALLAST AUTOMATIC SHOOF 205160

Install the Shoof 205160 drinker in your stable, yard or paddock at an appropriate height for your livestock. Connect to a reliable water supply via poly pipe, ensuring water pressure is between 20-60 PSI for optimal operation. Position the ballast mechanism so animals can easily access the drinking bowl, and allow the system to fill completely before use. Check all connections are secure and test the automatic refill function before introducing stock. Tips: Install the drinker in a shaded or sheltered location to minimise algae growth and reduce temperature fluctuations in the water bowl. Regularly inspect the ballast valve for debris or mineral buildup, especially in areas with hard water, to maintain smooth automatic operation. Position the unit away from heavy traffic areas to prevent damage and reduce contamination from mud and manure.
