matty* Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 What are people's thoughts on mini master drinkers for exlayers? Supplied by a header tanks around a pen? Do you think there ok for the job? Only ask as i have quite a few and would like to use them. Many thanks Matty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamefarm Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 World's most useless drinker IMHO Birds always pulling the pipe/tee off, emptying tanks/flooding shed/run/pen. Used outside, they don't last long due to sunlight making them brittle. Better than throwing water on the ground - just. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty* Posted June 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 What about the g89 drinkers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennett Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 They are what I use, and have done for a good few years. I get on well with them, especially if lifted up off the floor a little bit. Easy to wipe round the bowl and tip out to clean. I run them from ibcs, one pen fed through 20mm alkathene to 5mm rubber, the other 5mm rubber right through and have no feed problems. Only issue I have had, which is easily fixed, is occasionally some will not shut off after the initial fill and over flow, just snip a couple of twists off the internal spring and no problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive ordered so more g89 now. Good tip on the spring ive had that problem already so will try nipping a few and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
