1. For short periods of time when you’re not using the MiraFount in winter, you can dip 3-5 gallons of water out every day
and the tank will sustain itself until livestock are using it again. If you plan on not using it for a long time, merely drain it and
shut off the water. This is where the shut off valve comes in handy.
2. In case of power failure, merely keep the livestock away from the waterer so they can’t drink it down. If this has already
happened, then a small amount of hot water is all you need.
NEVER USE AN OPEN FLAME TO THAW ICE!
3. Management is necessary in any operationand this includes checking your waterer daily. Wateris very importantand
any malfunction should be attended to immediatley. This is good practice for any make of waterers.
4. The MiraFount should be cleaned periodically, especially the ones being used for hogs. Mud can hamper the proper
operation of the MiraFount.
5. If your valve is seeping, check the valve for foreign materials first. This is the biggest cause of seeping valves. If youhave
extremely rusty water or dirty water, your valve should be cleaned periodically.
6. If you have any questions give us a call at 641-236-5822.
7. If valve persists on leaking, use an allen wrenchto tighten the orifice under the plunger. Turn clockwise to tighten.
8. Important: On the MODELS 3410 and 3410-4 it is very importantthat the water level be maintained at the highest
possible level.
9. Drain plugs are to be placed inside the tank to plug the drain hole.
