CHECKING THE WATER SUPPLY
This simple test shows you if the water supply meets the specifications:
- Put a bucket of at least 10 litres underneath
each water hose
(before you connect the flexible water hose to
the pressure regulator)
(pressure regulator in “flushing” position!).
- Open the water supply during 1 minute.
- If the water supply is OK,
all buckets
will hold 10 litres after 1 minute.
SATELLITE DRINKER
THE SATELLITE DRINKER
is used together with the drinking lines to provide extra water when starting up
turkey chicks, i.e. during the first 5-10 days.
Satellites are often used in combination with the infra-red heaters.
You can put up to 100 birds per cup, so that one satellite unit provides adequate water for maximum 500 tur-
keys.
OPERATION
Start with a water pressure of 0.2-0.3 bar on the drinking lines.
The pressure may vary according to circumstances such as length of the drinking line, feed pressure, water
consumption, etc.. Increase the pressure if cups get too full.
Depending upon the sort of birds, remove the satellites after 5-10 days.
After removing the satellites, they should be cleaned, disinfected and thoroughly flushed.
Before using them the next time, make sure that all valves perfectly close.
TO INSTALL THE SATELLITE DRINKER
