Rotecna Water Level Drinking Valve with Stainless Tube, 120 cm
Water Level Drinking Valve: Constant Water Level for Piglets and Farrowing Pens The Water Level drinking valve from Rotecna keeps a specific water level constant in a trough, tank or similar container. It is especially suited to freshly weaned piglets, which learn to drink more easily when offered a visible water level, as well as farrowing pens where water must always be present in the trough. Like a float valve, this valve maintains a constant water level, but cleaning is far easier, since the valve housing sits around 1.0 m above the water level. It works by vacuum acting on a rubber membrane that blocks water flow; an integrated closing mechanism allows each valve to close individually. It's designed for mounting on horizontal pipes and can also be closed with a simple handle.

Frequently asked questions
How does a Water Level drinker work?
A valve refills the bowl as soon as the animals drink. That way fresh water is always available, and less is wasted than with an open nipple drinker.
When should I give piglets a feeding pan?
Many farms offer a little creep feed in the very first week of life. The important thing is to clean the pan every day and top it up with small fresh amounts only.
