PJ PUT WATER WHERE IT'S NEEDED
WATERMASTER 3
Moulded from polyethylene for ease of cleaning and maximum life. The Watermaster 3 has been
designed for use by broilers, pullets, layers and turkeys from day-old onwards.
The special anti-perch shape prevents
. birds from fouling the drinker and in this,
the big brother of the world renowned
Watermaster 2, the 15 in diameter offers
greater drinking space. The valve system is
extremely simple to ensure continuous
water supply. The large flat filter is easily
removed for cleaning and all fittings are
self-sealing with no ‘O’ rings or washers
needed. Watermasters are supplied
complete with the BEC saddle connector,
10ft. of tubing and suspension. The
recommended stocking rate is 10 to 14
waterers per 1000 birds.
The Bee 75 Waterer:
1 Takes up less room in the house-more room for the birds
2 It is distribution that counts - more drinking points, for the
same money, means that the birds have less distance to
walk to wafer
3 Lighter and more convenient to handle and clean
4 At the end of the crop, easy to empty house - one person
can carry 50 to 100 waterers
5 Easy Connections a) Saddle connector (see inset) b)
Tube fittings (see inset) c) new easy method of raising
and lowering the waterer with hanger box
