Stainless Steel Automatic Drinker with Float 2.5L (ABD10) – SS304 Float Valve Waterer

Stainless Steel Automatic Float Waterer, 2.5L

The Stainless Steel Automatic Drinker is a self-filling water bowl that keeps fresh water available to your animals with no daily bucket filling. Made from corrosion-resistant SS304 stainless steel, it connects to your water supply and uses a float valve to refill itself as the animals drink, keeping the bowl topped up to a set level. It suits mains pressure or gravity feed, which makes it a versatile, hard-wearing drinker for horses, cattle, goats, sheep, poultry and other livestock.

How the Float Valve Works

The drinker works like a cistern. As animals drink and the water level drops, the float lowers and opens the valve to let fresh water in; once the bowl refills to the set level, the float rises and closes the valve. This keeps clean, fresh water available at all times without overflowing, and the float mechanism is adjustable so you can set the water level to suit. Because it works on mains or gravity feed, it fits a wide range of setups.

Built Tough in SS304 Stainless Steel

SS304 stainless is corrosion-resistant and hard-wearing, so this drinker stands up to paddock, yard and pen conditions far better than plastic. A hinged cover protects the float assembly from being fouled or knocked by the animals, and the bowl slopes from back to front, which gives animals easy access to drink and makes the bowl simpler to clean out.

Easy to Install and Clean

The drinker is wall-mountable (bolts not included) and connects via a brass male garden-hose-type fitting, so it is straightforward to plumb in. A drainage bung in the bowl lets you drain it quickly to clean it out and keep the water fresh, and the front-sloping design means there are no awkward corners to scrub.
