WHY OUR FLAP
IS BETTER THAN A BALL OR FLOAT CLOSURE...
|
Each time an animal drops our flap, water and ice explode
off the surface - greatly reducing ice buildup. |
 Our Brower Drinkers have no recessed areas where water
can collect and freeze. |
|

|
SUGGESTED ROUTINE: |
|
|
|
Day 1 Reverse two flaps |
Day 2 Lower one flap |
Day 3 Lower all flaps |
|
|
We unconditionally guarantee that livestock can operate
our flaps as easily as they can operate a ball or float closure.
Flaps on all units are quickly reversible to train cattle,
sheep, horses, and wildlife. They can also be tied open. Training
usually takes 24-48 hours and often is not needed at all. Hogs
do not need to be trained. We have game bird growers who have
very successfully used our energy free waterers. Write for information. |

HOW THEY WORK...
Heat energy is provided by ground water entering the drinker
between say 40oF and 56oF. Brower waterers are
heavily insulated to hold the heat provided by ground water.
As further protection, unique, patented baffles isolate drinking
water from the main energy storage body under the valve cover.
Drinking activity replenishes heat gradually lost. The minimal
winter drinking activity needed should result in water being
replaced twice a day (10-15 animals depending on drinker capacity,
size of animals, and whether or not the drinker is sheltered).
If entering water is less than about 40oF, such as water
from a pond, mountain spring water or colder ground water, you
may experience icing in the drinker openings.
PRECAUTIONS YOU SHOULD OBSERVE...
The key to trouble-free use is carefully read the installation
instructions. You can probably use an existing tile if your supply
line has stayed open with no supplemental heat. The new installation
must be made without the supply line touching the riser tile
and there must be no debris or dirt in the riser tile. For best
protection, we recommend that a new riser tile of at least 8"
diameter be installed. There must be an airtight seal to the
mounting pad. Brower units need to be installed on the level.
There must be sufficient drinking activity. |
WPM120 Stainless Mud Grate and WPM118
Stainless Guard are recommended where MPM10 is used with sows
(1 each required per opening).
All units are shippable via UPS.
