Plasson poultry drinker spares

[Pasty]

I have acquired a large amount of drinkers which I believe are 'Plasson'? Not sure. Came from a layers farm who were giving up and I took the lot for a quid each. I intend to hang them in my breeding pens with a 30l or bigger water container above with a ball valve in so everything is largely automated. The drinker's pipes have just been snipped so really I'm looking for a source of spares of new pipe and fixings of some sort into a plastic water container.

Also, I assume these will work on a small amount of gravity?

Any poultry guys out there use these and know where to get the bits? They look exactly like this

Thank you.

Perfect. Cheers.

Hopefully the type that if the hanging cord breaks they don't leak all the water away.

ha ha ,yeah those particular ones ....when they land on the ground with the weight off them ......water just keeps overflowing
getting the water level on them set up right is a bit of an art as well....if i remember rightly.......

I'm not sure to be honest but I don't want to put a 'live' feed on them as they are out-doors so more vulnerable to 'events'. That's really why I want to set a couple up in each pen with a gravity feed from a big tank and I can just monitor by walking past a few times a day. Would be easy to rig them to the main but then if one fails and I am not there for a few hours, that's a lot of water gone.

I imagine these days that they will work OK sat on the ground without running over, test one you'll soon find out.

If they do, make sure the ground underneath is level, a feeder tank for each pen would be ideal although more expensive, that way if one does have an 'event' only one pen loses all it's water.
