1. Pre-installation Preparations
Want your cattle to have clean and convenient drinking water? Start with proper installation:
- Site Selection Principles: Install on the side of the cattle shed passageway, 50-60 cm above the ground, ensuring the cattle can easily drink by bending down.
- Water Quality Check: Flush the pipes before connecting to the water source to prevent construction residue from entering the drinking system.
- Pressure Test: After turning on the water, check all connections for leaks and adjust the water pressure to a stable state.
2. Daily Usage Tips
Master these techniques to make the equipment work better:
- Water Level Control: Keep the float valve flexible; maintaining the water level at 2/3 of the container's capacity is optimal.
- Winter Freeze Protection: When the temperature is below 5℃, it is recommended to drain the water daily or install an insulation cover.
- Observe Habits: Check the number of times the cattle drink water daily; a sudden decrease may indicate equipment malfunction.
3. Simple Maintenance to Extend Lifespan
Spend 10 minutes each month doing these things to extend the equipment's lifespan by 3 years:
- Filter Cleaning: Remove the filter by rotating it counterclockwise with a soft brush, rinse with clean water, and let it air dry.
- Rubber Part Maintenance: Apply food-grade petroleum jelly to the silicone seals quarterly to prevent aging.
- Overall Inspection: Tighten loose screws, remove scale buildup, and ensure the water outlet is clear.
