We can raise or lower the outlet level according to our
requirement. If we want a constant flow of water in the system,
just lower the outlet level, the water will keep on flowing out.
When we are supplying medicated water the outlets is raised up,
the medicated water doesn’t flow out.
It is interesting to know that if we supply plain water after
the medicated water, both will not mix together, hence
maintaining the potency of the medicine constant.
Maintenance: a removable sieve is put at the neck of the
drinker.
The feed particles left behind in the drinkers are
collected at the sieve. It is removed manually. It is quite easy
to clean and flush the system. Just lower the outlet, and the
water will flow freely.
Supply water with pressure from the
other end of the pipe, every thing will be clean and clear.
Problem with the system: There was only one problem.
The
drinkers I used wee the common funnel available from the market.
Its neck was week, and some times it was broken, as a result
wetting the litter.
If we prepare heavy-duty funnels with thick
neck, the problem will be solved.
