How It Works

The Float Regulator System:

Each cup contains a weighted float that rises and falls with water level. When birds drink and water drops, the float descends and opens a valve allowing water to flow from the reservoir. As the cup refills, the float rises and automatically closes the valve. Completely leak-free and self-regulating.

Why Float Cups Are Superior:

Traditional bowls collect droppings and debris within minutes, requiring constant dumping and refilling. Float cups provide instant, natural water access whilst staying elevated and protected from contamination. No manual tabs to push - water flows automatically as birds drink.

Why Choose This Drinker?

Customer-Approved Design Customers specifically praise: crystal clean water for days, easy refilling, quick adaptation, works for all sizes (bantams to large fowl), and biosecure sealed design.

Time-Saving Design Stop refilling bowls twice daily. This 15L capacity needs refilling once weekly for small flocks. 

Biosecurity Benefits The sealed design prevents wild birds, rodents, and other poultry from contaminating your flock's water supply, reducing disease transmission risk.

Easy Maintenance Removable cup inserts allow quick cleaning between uses without full disassembly. When deep cleaning is needed, everything comes apart simply by hand - no tools required.

Versatile Application Suitable for chickens, chicks, quails, pigeons, ducks, geese, and other poultry. The durable PP cups withstand use from various bird species.

Perfect for: Small backyard flocks (2-12 birds), preventing water contamination, reducing daily chore time, maintaining biosecurity, coops without electricity, multi-species poultry keeping

Installation

Step-by-Step Assembly

Tools Required: None - hand assembly only

Time: 10-15 minutes

Step 1: Install Drinking Cups

  1. Locate four pre-drilled holes in bucket (two per opposite side)
  2. Hand-screw each red cup into holes from outside - no tools needed
  3. Tighten until cup base contacts bucket wall

Step 2: Position Washers (CRITICAL)

  1. Reach inside bucket to exposed threads
  2. Slide star washer onto each threaded stem
  3. Ensure washer is OUTSIDE the bucket wall (creates watertight seal)

This is the most important step for leak-free performance.

Step 3: Secure with Wing Nuts

  1. Thread wing nut onto each cup's internal threads
  2. Tighten firmly by hand until snug
  3. Don't overtighten - firm hand pressure is sufficient

Step 4: Create Elevated Stand

Place drinker on bricks, pavers, or platform (10-15cm high). Position so cup tops align with your smallest bird's shoulder.

Why Elevate?

  • Keeps cups clean (birds can't scratch debris in)
  • Provides comfortable drinking height
  • Prevents cups touching ground

Step 5: Fill with Water

  1. Lift weatherproof lid
  2. Remove tamper-evident tab (first use only)
  3. Fill with clean water (15 litres capacity)
  4. Replace lid firmly - creates tight seal

Step 6: Introduce to Flock

Most chickens need zero training - they'll drink immediately. If needed, dip one bird's beak into a cup 2-3 times. Others will observe and copy.

Maintenance

Maintenance & Cleaning

Daily: Visual check of water level (30 seconds)

Weekly: Top up water as needed - typically every 3-7 days for 4-6 chickens (2-3 minutes)

Regular Quick Clean:
Remove the cup inserts without disassembling - rinse and wipe clean. Takes just a few minutes and keeps the system fresh between deep cleans.

Monthly Deep Clean:

  1. Unscrew cups completely (remove wing nuts)
  2. Remove cup inserts
  3. Wash bucket and all components with warm water and poultry-safe disinfectant
  4. Clean float mechanisms thoroughly
  5. Rinse thoroughly and air dry
  6. Reassemble and refill
    (15-20 minutes)

Algae Prevention: Position in shaded area. The white, non-transparent bucket significantly reduces algae growth. Monthly cleaning during warm weather keeps water fresh.

Winter Care: Bring inside overnight during freezing temperatures. The polypropylene bucket tolerates freezing, but frozen water isn't accessible to birds.

FAQ's

How many chickens will this support?

Ideal for 2-12 chickens. For 4-6 chickens, you'll refill every 5-7 days in moderate weather, every 3-4 days in summer heat.

Do chickens need training?

Customer reviews confirm most chickens need zero training. The float cups are intuitive - birds simply dip their beaks naturally. If needed, dip one bird's beak into a cup 2-3 times and they'll understand immediately.

Will this work for bantams and large fowl?

Yes! Customers confirm it works perfectly from tiny bantam Silkies to large Brahmas. The key is positioning cups at appropriate height using your stand.

Can I use this for other poultry?

Yes! Suitable for chickens, chicks, quails, pigeons, ducks, geese, and other poultry. Adjust the height appropriately for the species using the drinker.

Is it really leak-free?

Yes, when assembled correctly. The float regulator seals completely when cups are full. Customer reviews consistently praise the leak-free performance. The critical step is positioning washers correctly during assembly.

How do I clean it?

For quick cleaning: Simply remove the cup inserts, rinse and wipe clean, then replace. For monthly deep cleaning: Unscrew cups completely, remove inserts, wash all components with warm water and poultry-safe disinfectant, rinse thoroughly, and reassemble. Deep clean takes 15-20 minutes.

What are the removable inserts for?

The cup inserts allow quick, regular cleaning without fully disassembling the cups. Remove them to wipe away any debris or biofilm buildup, then simply pop them back in. For deep cleaning the float mechanism, you'll still need to unscrew the complete cup.

What about freezing temperatures?

The polypropylene tolerates freezing, but frozen water isn't accessible. Bring inside overnight during frosts, use a heated base, or swap for fresh drinker twice daily during hard freezes.

Can I add apple cider vinegar or medications?

Yes! Works perfectly with water-soluble supplements, vitamins, or apple cider vinegar. Clean thoroughly afterward as some supplements can stain.

How heavy is it when full?

Empty: 1.4kg | Full: 16.4kg. Most people can carry it using the handle, but positioning before filling is easier.

Are replacement parts available?

Yes, replacement cups and lids are available separately. Contact customer support for ordering.

Can I add extra cups?

The bucket has four pre-drilled holes. Drilling additional holes isn't recommended as it compromises waterproofing. For larger flocks, add a second complete drinker instead.
