More about Plasson® Compact Adult Turkey Drinker
Made of high-impact plastic to withstand the rigors of daily use, the Plasson Compact Adult Turkey Drinker provides a constant supply of fresh water for adult turkeys, ducks and geese. It has a significantly smaller surface yet maintains all of the other benefits of a Plasson drinker.
Self-cleaning, the breeder operates on low water pressure. Designed to ensure a constant water level and a dry floor, its sensitive system is activated when a bird drinks as little as 1/3 oz. of water. The drinker may be looped in a series for brooding. Approximately 10-12 drinkers accommodate 1,000 adult birds. Includes a 10' hose and barbs. Additional parts are available.
Instructions for Use
- Fill ballast bottle 1/2 to 3/4 full of water and antifreeze. This will help prevent freezing during cold weather.
- Insert the hanger rod through the hanger ballast nut and screw onto the ballast bottle.
- Put the bell over the ballast hanger rod.
- Place the mechanism assembly onto the hanger rod and snap into place on the bell.
- Put union onto the mechanism and attach hose.
- The water level adjuster is the top nut on the mechanism assembly.
Notes: If wet litter develops around the drinker, check the following
- Is the water pressure too high?
- Is the water level in the bell trough too high?
- Are the drinkers raised high enough?
Pair with a regulator - QC Part #120161 or QC Part #122077 for best results when attaching a Plasson Bell Drinker directly to a water source.
