Good quality, worked well did have a bit of trouble getting them sealed as not to leak around the outside of the buckets!

Had nipple waters before, but changed out to cups style because of the hot weather, but these are much better due to the little cup that they have that holds a small amount of water with no mess. Will order again for spares and another water.

First, if you use these with the PVC fittings that are threaded for them, they work great. Every now and then you will get particulates jammed in the valve, and you will have to flush them out or they will run continuously.The problem I had was installing them in 5 gallon buckets. Installation was simple enough, and they worked just as well as the PVC system initially. However, after a few months, the 5 gallon buckets started to split around the fittings. Since they are screwed directly into the buckets, I am guessing the pressure from screwing them in combined with temperature fluctuations caused the splitting. I had splits that leaked in all 5 of the buckets that I used these in within months. I have a solution, but it is hard to get the parts. RentACoop's cup type system uses a plastic wingnut on the backside to hold the unit in, instead of directly screwing in the the buckets. So, drilling a hole large enough to slip the threaded stem through the bucket and screwing the wingnut on fixes the splitting problem. However, the parts are almost impossible to find on their website. I called them and they sent me a link to the parts page.

Put these on a 6-foot 2" PVC and fed from a 35 gallon tote. It's working fantastic. Chickens love it. Uses less water. Doesn't need cleaning (2 months and going). Chickens can't stand on them, crap in them, and dump them on the ground . . . . so much better than a normal chicken waterer.Love that they came with a install tool to easily thread them into the holes. Good stuff, and worth the extra couple of bucks.

Pretty annoyed right now. First let me say I have purchased a lot of rent-a-coop products and loved them all until this purchase. I have been looking for a high capacity, clean watering system for my chickens for a while that is also functional during often-sub-zero winters. After going through a bunch of commercial waterers, I decided to switch to horizontal nipples with a stainless steel milk can. The stainless steel can set me back about $100, so I followed the installation directions to the letter. While I only had a few holes to drill and knew I could get the job done with bits I had on hand, I spent an extra $20 on a 11/32 ("recommended") cobalt drill bit. I drilled my holes only to discover this size is inaccurate if you're not using a pliable plastic container. You can see from the picture in my review that inserting the nipple with an 11/32 hole in stainless steel completely stripped the plastic nipple. If I was using a $5 plastic bucket I wouldn't care so much, but I invested a fair amount of money in this project and followed the directions and it is an utter failure. If I insert the nipples just to where it fits on the nipple, it is only inside the can by about 3/16", which makes the washer on the outside utterly ineffective. Tried adding three washers so I could at least get a snug fit. I decided to fill my can with all three different nipple installations and all three leaked like crazy. Thankfully, the holes are too small and not too big, so I guess I can experiment on my milk can and try to find a better fit than stated in the directions, because it's $134 (can, bit, and nipples) in the garbage if I don't. Hoping I can salvage this or I'll be even more annoyed. If I find my way and have luck with these eventually, I will update my review with details and a less annoyed review.

Excelente sistema de bebederos para gallinas o aves de corral. No gotea ni se ensucia, por lo que el agua siempre está limpia. Es super fácil de instalar y muy durables. Simplemente lo mejor que hemos encontrado en el mercado.

I have rudimentary experiences using a drill, and this was such a breeze to install. Very pleasantly surprised! Instructions were clear, concise, and very cheerfully colored too! From start to finish, 10 minutes max (including 1 mishap - I first tried drilling an old plastic applesauce bottle only to realize the wall is undulating and so the plastic washer won’t maintain a watertight seal. So I scrounged around and found an old salsa container I was using to hold lentils). It did not leak first try, and hasn’t for the day it’s been in use. I can refill the old salsa container easily without washing every day. I do have to keep the lid on loosely, as the water won’t come out of the drinking cup if there’s an airtight seal up top.The training instructions were perfect for my three hens: “remove all other water sources. Show one hen, preferably the queen, and she will tell the others.” (My paraphrase) My queen chicken is a little too nervous for me to trust any training I might do with her, so I went with my lowest-ranked but calmest and most curious chicken, and she picked it up immediately. Then she shared w her sister Orpington, and then I knew queen Brahma hen would figure it out quite quick.I bought these assuming I couldn’t use them in winter (I live in coastal Maine), but they look and feel sturdy enough that I will try it on a metal or heat-resistant plastic container inside a heated dog water bowl. I will update in winter 2019-2020!
