Hanging Ballast Waterer with Automatic Bell Drinking System - Commercial Poultry Waterer for Up to 300 Chickens The Hanging Ballast Waterer uses an automatic bell drinking system to keep fresh water available to your flock around the clock. Based on a ballasting principle, the unit refills itself as water is consumed, which can help cut down on the daily labour of manual watering. One unit can service up to 300 chickens or 150 layers, making it a practical choice for larger poultry operations. The adjustable water level lets you tailor the setup to suit the needs of your specific flock. The waterer connects to a standard 10mm water line and operates within a working pressure range of 0.2 to 0.5 Bar (3 to 8 PSI). The durable build is designed to hold up in busy, high-demand farm environments where reliability matters. It hangs above the flock to keep the water clean and reduce contamination from litter and droppings. A replacement valve kit is available separately if you need to service the unit down the track.

It's a big step up from the manual flip-and-fill gravity type for anyone with a larger flock. The "ballasting principle" is essentially a float valve, very similar to how a toilet cistern works: Water enters through the top via the hose connection (hose not included) Inside the bell, there's a small float valve (you can see the white and red component at the top of the dome) As chickens drink from the tray and the water level drops, the float drops with it The lowered float opens the valve, letting more water in from the hoseOnce the tray refills to the set level, the float rises and shuts off the flow A reliable automatic watering solution for commercial poultry farms looking to reduce daily labour while keeping their flock well hydrated.
