Nylon Auto Drinker with Float 5L (ABD20) – Automatic Float Valve Waterer for Livestock & Poultry

Automatic Float-Valve Waterer, 5 Litre

The Nylon Auto Drinker with Float is a 5 litre automatic waterer that keeps fresh water available to your animals without constant refilling. It connects to a water supply and uses a float valve to refill itself as the animals drink, so the bowl stays topped up to a set level on its own. Made from tough nylon with a stainless steel cover over the float, it is a durable, low-maintenance drinker for horses, cattle, goats, sheep, poultry and other animals.

How the Float Valve Works

The drinker works on the same principle as a cistern. As animals drink and the water level drops, the float lowers and opens the valve, letting fresh water flow in; once the bowl fills back to the set level, the float rises and shuts the valve off. This keeps a steady supply of clean, fresh water available at all times, cuts out daily bucket filling, and means animals are never left without water on a hot day.

Built to Last

The bowl is made from strong nylon, which is tough and hard-wearing for outdoor use, and a stainless steel cover protects the float assembly from being fouled or knocked by the animals. The float assembly itself is a high-quality Italian unit, and there is a release valve in the base to make draining and cleaning the bowl easy. It is built to stand up to paddock and pen conditions.

Easy to Keep Clean

The release valve in the base lets you drain the bowl quickly to clean it out, which helps keep the water fresh and the drinker hygienic. Keeping the bowl clean is important for animal health, and this drinker is designed to make that a simple job rather than a chore.

Position it where animals can reach it easily but are less likely to soil it, and protect the supply line from damage.
