MANAGEMENT TIPS
A 1/4" bolt is to be used to hold the balls back for training livestock. The 1/4" bolt is inserted into a threaded insert
in the baffled portion of the lid. This holds the balls back for training.
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.
Water level is very important. If the water is too high the balls will stick shut in the winter time and the tank will appear
frozen. A kick or small amount of hot water on the balls will fix the problem. Then lower the water level so this won’t
happen again. However, never lower water below the baffle or cold air could go under and freeze your valve.
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!
Management is necessary in any operation and this includes checking your waterer daily. Water is very important
and any malfunction should be attended to immediately. This is good practice for any make of waterers.
MiraFounts must be installed level, otherwise one ball will be higher than the others.
The MiraFount should be cleaned periodically, especially the ones being used for hogs. Mud can hamper the
proper operation of the MiraFount since the balls have to move freely in order to have proper operation.
If your valve is seeping, check the valve for foreign materials first. This is the biggest cause of seeping valves.
If you have extremely rusty water or dirty water, your valve should be cleaned periodically.
If you have any questions give us a call at 641-236-5822.
If valve persists on leaking, use an allen wrench to tighten the orifice under the plunger. Turn clockwise to tighten.
Drain plugs are to be placed inside the tank to plug the drain hole.
Capacities are based on confined cattle. If pasture animals are using this product and have a tendency to
come to water all at the same time, extra water space may be needed.
