The unique feature of the Plasson Breeder Drinkers is the ballast bottle, which acts independently of the bell and eliminates wear on the valve mechanism.
- Approximately 10-12 Plasson Breeder Drinkers are needed per 1000 adult birds. (In hot climates, 12-14 drinkers per 1000).
- For optimum efficiency, the working pressure is as follows: Breeder Drinker 0.4-0.6 bar (6-8 psi). Compact Breeder Drinker 0.4-0.8 bar (6-12 psi). The pressure can be regulated by means of a pressure regulator or via a head tank.
- The ballast bottle should be completely filled with water up to the water level line. In frost prone areas, add antifreeze to the water.
- Adjust drinkers to the proper drinking height, always keeping the drinker lip a little higher than the bird’s back.
- Keep water level in the bell trough as low as possible
