Complete Set Pipeline Automatic Chicken Nipple Waterer Cups and 1/2" PVC Tee Fittings Pipe Feeder Poultry Waterer Chicken Waterer pourtly Water Cup Durck Watering System

This setup worked better than expected! We have had several different types of waterers for the hens, all that either leaked or just didn’t work properly. This kit is working great so far, and provides unlimited water for them! Only hint is to be careful when threading in the red cups- too tight and the flimsy rubber washers squish out and leak, too loose and they leak… I went the Goldilocks route and not a drop after being set up for a few days now.

The product comes with every thing you need except a bucket (I got mine from Lowes, make sure to get a top also) and 1/2 in. PVC pipe, I bought 2 5' sections and it was just enough. you will also need a 1/2" PVC pipe to garden hose adapter if you're going to use a garden hose for your water supply. The biggest thing about this product is to go slow and make sure that everything is level and use plenty of teflon tape on the fittings that have to be screwed in, also, I cut all of my pieces of PVC that goes between the cup at 4". There are only a few other things that I can think of, one being the clips that hold the line that holds the cup segment of PVC, you should pop a level line if you have a chalk box or draw one with a pencil if you don't either way works a lot better than just eyeballing it, anyway, you can't install these clips after you glue the cups together, or at least if your doing an installation like mine you can't, last but not least, I added a valve from my water tank to the cups so that I could turn off the flow of water just in case something goes wrong. This is a very good system and it took me about 1 1/2 hours to install.

So much easier than the standard water pots that you have to flip over to fill. The kind the birds roost on despite there being an actual roosting bar RIGHT THERE but then they couldn't poop all in their water and what would be the fun in that? Much better to muck up your water so I have go in and clean the stupid thing out every other day, dumping water and bird droppings everywhere. Or, buy one of these set ups. Autofilling small cups the birds can't sit on (I'm sure they've tried, obnoxious little...). I can refill from outside the coop. The water stays clean. Fantastic! Prone to freezing in the winter, but we live in a broken world.

It works well but the chickens bump into the cups occasionally and knock them on their side a bit so they leak. If I can figure out how to keep them upright they’ll be great. Other than that they work well

Best decision i ever made was adding this to my coop... only thing I'd recommend would be to add the attachment the connects the water hose to the bucket...had a hard time finding one.... but really easy to clean..if you are thinking of getting it just do it.... it's worth the money and it's super easy to install...all u have to buy is pvc pipe and the water inlet that connects the water hose to the bucket...and your bucket... didn't freeze during the winter... keeps. Fresh water to my chickens..

I'm an engineer and a homesteader. I've done tradesman work all my life. The way these are designed, the seal is supposed to be the rubber washer between the cup stem and the PVC Tee. In order to compress this seal, you have to get the threads sufficiently tight. The male threading on the cup stems does not match the female threading on the PVC Tees. Its like putting a metric bolt in an SAE nut. It'll thread in- but you can easily just push it in. There's no amount of teflon tape you can use to fix this fittment problem. Mind you this was all 10 cups- not just 1 or 2. I was able to occastionally (holding my mouth *just* right) get the threads to hold tight enough to create a good seal. Then I looked at my chickens very sternly and said "don't touch the cup when you drink ladies". Apparently the seller needs a disclaimer *only good for dainty chickens who don't try to stand on or peck at watering cups* /sarcasm off There is another leak point where the cup "pops" into the threaded portion. This mechanism is where the cups can be twisted left or right after having been mounted. Again- this seal relies on a tight fit - compressing the washer inside. As the cups age (and the chickens push down on the cups) the interference fit wears thin (its cheap plastic). This then allows the cup to slide down and the rubber washer to decompress. We're talking weeks folks- not months or years. My chickens are 22 weeks old. They've been out of the brooder and in the coop where this water system is installed for 7 weeks. At this point- its too late to return. I fixed these issues by using JB Weld - Water Weld, a waterproof epoxy mold (think playdough) applied liberally around all connection points. I think the folks who haven't had leaks (yet) are reviewing early AND used the wingnut/bucket installation rather than the PVC Tee installation (the wingnut thread DOES match the cup thread). Save your money and your frustration. Buy a different brand.

I love it, and so do my little raptors.

Right out of the box this thing had minor issues I had to resolve. The float never would stop the water flowing, and the cups wanted to leak all the time from the threads until I used Teflon tape on the threads. Now the cups fill up to the top and drip slowly. I only fill the bucket every 4 days by turning the hose on at the bucket instead of filling the old watering bucket daily so in a way it's a win. For the money it's not to bad and way better than what I had.

This system is crap the cups constantly leak caused more problems than it was worth and then the birds were also going under them and pushing them up and dumping water all over as well. Get the other cups with the little yellow do-dad in them that the birds peck i havnt had any issues from them

Cups are cheap. Everything leaks
