Homemade Automatic Livestock Waterer

[@charleskiplinger9904]

Clever watering system. I built one like it for the chickens. Fed from a 55 gallon barrel rain catch system. Thanks for the idea.

[@bighern1794]

You might need to change careers man! You're fingers have taken a beating! Just giving you shit. Good video and idea. Thank you

Where you get the float

[@mlee40738]

This is great! I've been looking for ideas for a waterer for my ducks and geese. And I'm giving this idea a try.

[@SoatMon]

That's awesome. Let me know how it goes.

PVC is not rated for stored water, only flushing waste, and breathers. It releases pthalates in to the water.

[@scottb467]

at 17:21 when you flip the water out, there is a rooster crowing and it sounds like the water hit him and shut him up. idk why, but that had be laughing. Good idea by the way on the waterer. I build my pasture waterers with a 13 gallon trash can and two toilet float valves. i dont have to worry about freezing. everything is underground. bury the can with about 4 inches above ground and backfill to the top, preferably with concrete. we hit 4 degrees and only had a quarter inch of ice. when the valve turned on, the ice melted within seconds.

[@SoatMon]

That sounds like a good idea. Thanks for the comment!

[@quinnthomas9965]

round style toilet brush chucked into a drill would probably make quick work of cleaning the tube and it would seem that it'd be this guys style! I'm not sure how many of these he has around his farm

[@SoatMon]

I do use a round toilet brush but no drill. Just a few scrubs back and forth and it's good to go.

[@joell439]

Your clever ideas around the "farm" are seemingly endless. Thanks for sharing!

[@SoatMon]

You're welcome!

[@glennfelpel9785]

You are a treasure of good practical ideas!

[@SoatMon]

If you ever get a goat... you can make a waterer..LOL Thanks Glenn!

[@cjenkins95]

You could use a toilet brush for cleaning it

[@SoatMon]

That's exactly what I do! Thanks!

[@petelogiudice8202]

Thanks for the idea! I'll be making this for my rabbits as I don't think they get enough water from nipples. I'll be using one float to control bowls for a row of cages.

[@SoatMon]

Your welcome, glad it helped. Good luck with your rabbits!

[@rollin0038]

Hey did you use this for your rabbits? I’m thinking of doing it as well. Wondering about your setup.

[@gavinhowell2833]

Nice idea if u don’t want to clean it u can put a filter on the system

[@frschatz3200]

Yes where did you get the float?

[@SoatMon]

From Ebay, search for a water float valve.

[@ProfDrabusufian6467]

I could not understand the trick, can you explain me pl.

[@bismillahgoatfarmbanglades722]

Hello, কি খবর? কেমন আছো?

[@hotshoter2]

Cut the top off on angle so they can get at water easier

[@billp3914]

Where did you get the float from

[@SoatMon]

From Ebay. Search for "water float valve". Pay attention to the size of the connector for your water line before you pick one.

[@billp3914]

Soat Mon Thank you I’ll look today

[@bobrabitt353]

Great idea.

[@SoatMon]

Thanks! They are still in use and working well, the goats use them every day.

[@downbntout]

Sweet setup, mon. What tool have you not got? Yr fam must rack their brains for Father's Day

[@SoatMon]

Yes, they always say they don't know what to get me but I always have a list of things I would like to have. :)

[@3RK9Obedience]

Do you have issue with this freezing in winter?

[@SoatMon]

Yes it would freeze in winter. We don't get a lot of freezing weather and it stays about 10 degrees warmer in the barn so I don't have to shut it down to often.

[@jerryshomestead3967]

Thank you buddy hope to see more of your videos

[@cd1168]

I agree with the others. You’re clever concise and practical

[@SoatMon]

Thanks!! I appreciate you taking the time to let me know!

[@noneyun9943]

Where did you buy the float?

[@SoatMon]

Here are some like the ones I used amzn.to/3zJCdJG I got mine off of ebay but I can't link to things on ebay as the links only last a few days.

[@andyliu4467]

wow great idea. thank you

[@SoatMon]

You're welcome!

[@mrsvera174]

Hey, we're missing the same digit!!

[@SoatMon]

Mine was a table saw years ago.

[@shaifghfeer6820]

very very very gooood

[@SoatMon]

Thanks! They have been in continuous use since I built them and are still going strong.

[@mattplummer6886]

Where did you find the float valves

[@SoatMon]

I got them on ebay.
