Setting up a 275 gallon chicken bell waterer - will it work?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 авг 2019
- In this video, we attempt to hook up our chicken bell waterer to our 275 gallon IBC tank that collects rain water from the roof of the wood shop. It took a variety of fittings to get the plumbing figured out. Will it be too much pressure?

Always pays to find ways to make a days work easier and more efficient. Excellent job there Troy now you will have time to tackle another project.
homestead learner/Steamfitter here in Wisconsin. If i was you id keep the catch basin there by the shed, keep a Ibc tote by the chickens (shade it maybe idk), and run the hose between them as needed. i wouldnt leave the hose lay out and really only need to fill the chicken tank as needed. i am saying this as the video plays so that maybe what you are doing lol. I spoke with your maple syrup cooker neighbor when he was setting up his burner which ironically is how i came to your channel and subscribed. good luck
Very cool! I had never seen this type of waterer. It might be a good solution here
we love them. I have replaced all waterers with these.
@@RedToolHouse I just love everything about it LOL! Our (garden) watering system turns on the outside water for an hour a day already.... if it filled our "bells" at the same time, we might be good!
Are you planning on digging a little trench across the road, so the vehicles won't break down the hose? Also, you might want to drive stakes every 10/ft with an orange cap, to let "you know who" know where the hose is, so s/he won't run over it with the mower again! Great idea though!
I may run it through some black flex pipe to protect it. Usually, only the side by side or the tractor drives through there.
Every time you start the music I think about your friend the does all your music.
Every time I see your profile name I think of my great uncle Joe McClung. He was a very neat guy. Died at 95
What about the build up of algae in the white IBC tote? Tim @ Cliffside Acres
Hi Troy, ibc hose connectors are only a few bucks on AliExpress. Not sure about quality but its worth a try for that price I guess.
Any concern over so much water sitting in large tank becoming stagnant etc?
Anyone know? With the 5 gallon bucket, what sort of gasket/fastener do you use connecting the hose to the bucket?
Thank you.
With our bell waterers, the hose is pliable so I drill a hole in the bucket that is smaller than the outside diameter of the hose. Forcing the hose into the hole seals it and prevents leakage.
@@RedToolHouse thanks!
Could you catch rain off you green house?
I curious to know how you keep them watered in the winter. I have to break the ice in mine sometimes twice a day.
Did you figure a solution?
I think it sround .4 psi per foot.
Troy, here are the cheaper alternative links you asked for. Rather than using expensive adapters on the IBC connector, just find a flat spot to install a bulkhead connector made for garden hose: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C9A37BC
As for reducing from the garden hose to the quarter inch line for the bell waterer, the quarter inch line is the same as is used in garden irrigation systems. These reducers work well for that: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B8LOLZU
All in, you can plumb up 6 of those watering systems for less than $50.
100 dollars dont get ya much
