between 2,5
and 3 BAR Max.
Use a central pressure restrictor.
The lines should meet the following requirements :
* Supply line up to the control panel : minimum 1” dia.
* Line between control panel and branch point of pressure regulators : between
1” and 1

2.
Flush all the drinking lines. Make sure that you flush the lines long enough, i.e.
at least
1 minute per 10 meter
of drinking line.
3.
Check the filter. Replace the filter cartridge if there is any difference between the water pressure before
and after the filter.
4.
Install the conical float balls
5.
Lower the lines. All cups must sink into the litter. Make sure that the cups are hanging vertically. Adjust

IMPORTANT
:
The
HIGHER
the water pressure, the
LOWER
the water level !
The
LOWER
the water pressure, the
HIGHER
the water level !
Pressures mentioned are indicative. The farmer's eye is the decisive factor !
Main point is that the user of a Sparkcup drinking system must judge the water level in the cups and adjust
the water pressure to get the desired water level.
ALWAYS CHECK DAILY WATER CONSUMPTION.
FLUSH DRINKING LINES EVERY WEEK (1MIN/ 10 M LINE).
FLUSH THE LINES PROPERLY AFTER ADMINISTRATING MEDICINES, VACCINES OR
CLEANING PRODUCTS.
GRADUALLY INCREASE HEIGHT OF DRINKING LINES AS ANIMALS GROW.
