Oasis Fountainhead, DIY On-demand Poultry Waterer Kit Sanitary Water for up to 12 Chickens, Turkeys, Geese or Ducks

This is a fantastic product. I put two of them joined by a T to one 5 gallon bucket and I can go two days before filling back up with my 25 meat birds. No more cleaning their poop out of the waterer. I wrapped all of the threads in plumbers tape (the white stuff) and that prevented leaking and dripping from the nipples. I grabbed a few of my smarter birds and used their heads to poke the nipples. They figured it out and then all the rest of the birds figured it out. I also used a stick to push up the nipples so they could see it drip. My birds were about 4 weeks old when I trained them. When I move my tractor I just empty the bucket (leave enough so that air doesn't get in the line) then fill it back up with a hose when I'm done. Sooo easy. I wish there was a way that I could do this with their feed. :)

Seemed like a great idea, but our chickens won't use it. They weren't drinking for several days and we had to finally put a bucket of water in there. Not sure how to make them drink from this?

have to get a pressure reduction valve to hook it to a hose instead of a bucket. not sure i trust it to be the only source of water for the birds yet. have ordered a pressure reducer - we shall see. the nipples do not always close off after they drink and it leaked all night soaking the coop, attracting bees. hoping the pressure reducer helps the nipples open and close better. (we have a 15-20 lb pressure reducer on there currently - and have turned down the water flow manually to try to make it work better for now) the pressure reducer we ordered is 10 psi. not sure i like how hard the birds have to hit the nipples to make em release water.

Easy to install and the chickens got the hang of it immediately. Personally I tear down the unit every few months so that I can bleach out the collected green gunk in the hose system. I would repurchase the unit a second time without hesitation.

Poor glue job of pvc pipe, leaking after hook up. I had to cut and reglue end caps. Way cheaper to buy seperately and do it on your own. Poor quality and cheap plastic spigot. I don't review to often but don't buy

For starters I owe these people a huge I'm sorry for not writing this review earlier. I know it no excuse I'm just and was well warranted back then. We had started keeping chickens as a 4h project. We knew we wanted to do things the best we good. Our 4-H sponsor was impressed with out set up including the water. Couldn't believe how big and happy our chickens were. When we showed our lovely hens our daughter walked away with a blue ribbon!I bought this wonderful watering set up. We had a few questions about what would be the best way to make thing work and they took all the time we needed on the phone to get us to the comfort level we needed. The girls took right to it without any issue and it was so nice to know that they would have fresh water all the time. Sadly something happened and it was nothing wrong with the product my system got cracked, we believe something go in our coop chasing a hen and it go wild is all we could come up with. We couldn't fix it or find the replacement piece. I emailed these wonderful people who were apologetic of our situation and happily & quickly replaced the parts we needed to get our system back up and running again.Their product is fantastic, my hens are so happy to have it up and running again. Their customer service is off the charts I can't tell you how highly I recommend you buy anything from them. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED! We will be customers for life.

Chickens did not know how to drink from them

Contrary to another post you will need 1.5" hole saw and not 1.25". I don't understand why the manufacturer couldn't print out directions for the dimension. If you make a 1.25" hole you will not be able to seal the assembly onto the bucket. Teflon tape is a must. I like the idea of the fountainhead since I can go a much longer period without refilling my chicken water.The valve itself is already having a low leak and I just got this yesterday. Read others posts, they've had similar issues with leaking/build quality. They need better quality control on their products before sending it to their customers.
