4. After taking the birds out:
• Clean the lines following Plasson Guide to Cleaning Water Lines
• Keep the lines filled with water except under freezing conditions
1. Check your installation:
• After completing the installation, fill the lines in order to check the
system.
• The SESA system is assembled on the Plasson Nipple system.
• Always use the long connecting piece (02209015) for the
Aluminum profile.
• Nipple type for this application: Grey.
• Recommended number of Turkey Poults per SESA: 25-30.
• Recommended number of SESA per 3 m (10’) section: 4-6.
• Maximum length of line 80 m (260 ft.). For longer lines, a Plasson
Mid Line Pressure Regulator can be used.
• If water is supplied from the main pipeline, incoming pressure to
the header kit should be 1.5 bar (22psi),
max. 2.7 bar (40psi).
• If water is supplied from a header tank, the header tank should be
at least 4 m (13 ft.) above floor level.
• A 130 micron or 120 mesh filter cartridge or better must be
installed before the header kit.
• Lines must be suspended at a constant height above the house
floor (slats/litter).
• For lines with more than 15 cm (6”) of fall or slope, be sure to
install the header kit on the high end of the line and allow the
water to flow downward. Maximum permitted drop of line without
using Plasson Slope Regulator: 15 cm (6”).
• Shocker wire must be installed. The aluminum profile must be
grounded. It is recommended to perform the grounding using
Plasson Grounding Nipple.
2. Before operating the system and prior to placement of
birds:
• At the start of each new flock and after medication, the system
must be flushed thoroughly with high pressure, one line at a time
(for details see Plasson Guide to Cleaning Water Lines). To flush:
°
Open drain valve at end of line
°
Turn valve on Pressure Regulator to “flush” position (half turn)
°
We suggest a minimum of 10 minutes per line. Once completed,
turn the valve to “regulate” position and close drain valve at the
end of the line.
• Set the water pressure (initial setting) to 30 cm (12”). (Water level
in sight tube should be measured from the center of the Nipple
line pipe)
3. During the flock:
• It is very important that the Turkey Poults will be able to see the
water in the SESA - adjust the height of the SESA line and the light
program accordingly.
• Recommended water pressure: 25-40 cm (10"-16").
• Training towards grow out:
°
If finishing barn is equipped with HF* we recommend adding
one HF per 3 m (10’) section for the last week of brooding.
°
If the finishing is done in the same shed and using HF, we
recommend adding one HF per 3 m (10’) section from the 3rd
week of brooding and continue replacing the SESA with one HF
every two/three days (see HF Operating instructions). The extra
unused Nipples should be covered with Plasson Snap on Plug
for Nipple (02205294).
°
Plasson Bell Drinker, lower 5 to 10 Bell Drinkers per house for
the last week of brooding.
• Height of SESA System guidelines: follow the sketch hereunder
* HF (Heavy Finish) - Plasson Nipple System for Adult Turkeys.
• Clean the filter periodically according to water quality
• It is good practice to run clean water through the Medicator after
each medication
Please read all the instructions before using the Plasson
Super Easy Start Adjustable for Turkey Poults system.
The following are general recommendations:
Adjust the line’s height
enabeling the Turkey
Poults to easily see the
water upon their first
search while ensuring
the cup does not touch
the litter as this will
cause it to flood.
Day 1
Slightly raise the water
lines in order to train
the birds to drink from
the raised SESA. The lip
of the SESA should be
at bird’s chest to eye
level.
Day 3 up to
6 days
Keep the SESA lip
slightly above eye level
while enabling free
movement under the
SESA.
7 days till
end of brooding
