Farm-Tuff Galvanized Poultry & Game Bird Waterer


Size: 3 Gal

$39.99

Description

Water a big flock the old-fashioned, built-to-last way with the Farm-Tuff Galvanized Poultry & Game Bird Waterer, a double-wall steel fountain made in Canada by Millside Industries and available in 3-gallon and 8-gallon sizes. The two-piece design uses a simple vacuum between the lift-out inner tank and the outer drum to hold a constant water level in the base tray — chickens, turkeys, ducks, and game birds always find a steady drink, and there are no valves, floats, or fittings to stick or leak.

Key Features

  • Two Sizes: The 3-gallon suits smaller coops and brooders, while the 8-gallon keeps larger and pastured flocks watered for days between refills.
  • Double-Wall Galvanized Steel: Rust-resistant construction stands up to coop life, sun, and knocks far better than lightweight fountains.
  • Vacuum-Regulated Flow: The sealed double-wall design automatically maintains a constant level in the drinking tray as birds drink.
  • Anti-Roost Cone Top: The peaked lid keeps birds from perching, so droppings stay out of the water supply.
  • Rolled Seams: Joints are rolled instead of soldered, creating tight-fitting seams with no solder to fail.
  • Carry Handle: A sturdy steel handle makes hauling and hanging easy on either size.

How to Use

Lift the inner tank out by its handle, fill the outer drum with fresh water, and seat the inner tank back in place to form the vacuum seal. Set the waterer on firm, level ground where the flock gathers — the tray around the base fills itself and holds a constant level. Rinse the tray at each refill and scrub the tank regularly to keep water clean and fresh.

The 3-gallon fountain suits smaller backyard coops and brooder pens, while the 8-gallon model keeps larger or pastured flocks watered for days between refills. Both share the same double-wall vacuum design.
It is a vacuum fountain. When the inner tank is seated in the filled outer drum, air pressure holds the water back and releases it into the base tray only as birds drink, keeping a constant level with no valves or floats to stick.
Lift the inner tank out by its handle, fill the outer drum with fresh water, then seat the inner tank back in place to restore the vacuum seal.
The cone-shaped top is designed specifically to prevent roosting, which helps keep droppings out of the drinking water.
Freezing water can deform the tank and break the vacuum seal. In winter, empty it overnight, rotate two units, or keep it in a sheltered spot above freezing.
