How would this attach to a water source/container? What valves are needed to use a 5 gallon bucket with the tubing?

Standard rabbit cages have 1"x2" wire on it's sides and top. The rabbit drinker hooks onto the wire and then the spring has a hook, and it also hooks onto the wire opening, wherein the opening is one inch..Works great.. Then run your water lins to your bucket, drill a hole near the bottom of the bucket, hook all up, and you are good to go..

I myself am not installing the drinkers so I would not be able to help in that regard. However, there are many videos on Youtube which can help. Please check this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O8JuKGQmEVg

We use the tubbing like in the picture. Then attach it to a brass nipple that we inserted in the bottim part of a 5 gallon bucket. You need to make sure to make the right hole si it will not leak. That is the best way I can explain it since I am not sure of the name of the brass nipple.

Its a small (gallon or so) resevoir container. Its way too small so I use a large bucket instead. It would be an improvement to have an attatchment option to hook up to a faucet.

I just put my pump in a 5 gallon bucket. I tried to screw it on to one of the collapsible clear plastic 5+ gallon water containers but the opening was too small for the pump. I have had no issues just setting it in the bucket.

With a hose and proper fittings, you could probably connect a bellows to the tank. Not sure how much pressure you be able to achieve, though.

Yes, you need to provide your own water container (we used a 5 gal bucket from Home Depot), then drill holes to install the nipples. The container would not have to hang, but obviously you loose capacity if you drill holes someplace other than near the bottom of the bucket.

I use a plastic adapter where I can control the water flow and use for our baskets. You can find them at any hardware or big box store.

i have not figured that one out yet, what i have been thinking of doing is place a small submersible heater in the 5 Gal water bucket or if you come off a spicket you could use a heat tape then wrap it with foam insulation and gorilla tape.hope this helps you.

The hose connects to the tank. You'll need another hose to connect to whatever you're supplying.

I bought this kit - love it. Tubing is five feet long. Weighted piece that goes into the 5 gallon bucket is 15 inches.

I used a 5 gallon bucket and put a hose fitting on it and hung it outside on rafter of my coop. Ran hose inside and to PVC pipe that I put these into. I have a 90* joint so it is running down two sides of the coop and probably 7 or so nipples. Plenty water for my 20 birds with room for more without needing to add any more. I just fill the bucket once or twice a week. They work really well. I have part of the pipe at an angle so it is lower on one end for chicks. But you can also just put a few right into the bottom of a bucket and hang it.

Not real sure, but might be able to attach a tub to the metal tub going into canister and running tub into a hole in top lid of 5 gallon bucket lid. I think it's like pressure fed.

One of those adapters is used for an intake. You remove the strainer and small filter, then attach larger adapter. This allows a hose to be lead to water supply. At this point it is not clear if pump needs to be submerged as it acts like an outside sump pump

You can easily attach it by sandwiching the fence between a 2X4 and the water trough, I attached mine to the chicken coop and hard piped it in with PVC pipe. It was so simple.

You don't put a hose on the threaded end that goes through the hull to pick up water. The barbed outlet is for the hose, size is 3/4". You can get bilge pump hose at amazon. If you are using this for a bait well pump you will need to make a spray pipe to aerate the water, 1/2" pvc pipe works good for this. Drill some 1/8 to 3/16 holes along the length for the pipe about 1" apart and cap one end, length of pipe depends on the size of tank or bucket. Hope this helps you out.

They sell a metal bracket that goes on 5 gal bucket to dump it. Ps if your getting this to gather brass it does not work well. At least on hard surfaces.

There is a valve that water drips out of and I recommend getting some vinyl tubing to go with the unit. I got some 1 in/3/4 in inside diameter tubing and it is too big. I just used gorilla tape to adhere it to the unit.

It comes with a wire bracket that straddles the inside top of a five gallon bucket. Place it over the bracket and turn 90 degrees that spreads the tines enough for the brass to fall in the bucket..
