So this works under pressure? Do you leave the hose on all the time?

Yes, this system works under household water pressures, and the float valve ensures the container remains full at all times.

Any suggestions on how to get the float to turn the valve off on its own? It just becomes submerged. It's not on upside down.

No. I’ve tried this typ of float several times and can’t get it to work properly. Once, I duck tapped an extra float to the float and that worked for about 6 months. Then it started to leak again.

What do you do when float valve doesn't shut? I installed it today and it just keeps running.

I haven't had any problem with that. I would pull the float valve and scrub it down while washing it just to see if some dirt got stuck in the mechanism.

What size holes need to be drilled?

I can’t remember offhand but I believe it is in the instructions.

Valve does work

Valve works fine during the season. Have trouble with it on initial setup in the spring. Working it back and forth by hand makes it work again. you also need to make sure the valve is oriented the right way so the water will make it operate. Stays clean and is extremely nice to have in the warmer months.

Working as intended so far

I've had this in use for over a month and it is working as it is supposed to so far. Flock is getting water they need.

Seal the threads with plumber's tape.

Greatest little DIY weekend coopers can invest in. Once properly installed and sealed you will simply need to check on during your weekend cooling. Added benefits, it won't implode, hygienic and most of all, it works as advertised.

Float really doesn’t work!

I love this concept. Generally it wasn’t that difficult to assemble and we had it up and running within a day or two of receiving it. We were able to quickly train to chickens to drink from it. But not it is only 2 months old and has already broken. The float doesn’t work anymore and was causing a constant stream of water into my chicken run. Do not buy this this!!

Great investment very small flock of

This simplified everything about watering the chickens I don't trust the to leave it on full time I turn it on let it run for a few minutes and then turn it off when the bucket is 4 and has worked great for me so far I've had it for about 8 months and no problems

Miner problem with waterer.

The chickens get mud in the cups so very little water gets in the cups. How can I either clean the mud out or stop this from happening?
