WATER TANK STRAINER 420MM LARGE RAPIDPLAS RTS001

Position the water tank strainer on a flat, well-drained surface with partial shade to minimise algae growth and water heating in Queensland's hot climate. Install a compatible float valve to automatically maintain water levels and prevent overflow. Clean the strainer monthly to remove algae buildup and disinfect periodically to ensure water quality for your livestock. Place the trough where cattle have easy access, allowing 0.75m of trough face space per cow in dairy operations. Tips: In Queensland summer, water consumption can reach 100L per day per animal as temperatures rise, so ensure adequate trough capacity and check water levels daily. The UV-stabilised polyethylene construction allows you to relocate the trough for rotational grazing, improving pasture management compared to fixed concrete alternatives. Regular cleaning prevents algae accumulation and maintains water quality—a monthly clean with periodic disinfection will keep your livestock healthy.
