IT’S SO EASY
The magic of the Drinking Post is that it fills and drains with each use. This unique feature sets us apart from all other watering methods! Plus, it’s what keeps the water frost-free without heaters or electricity. It’s also the secret to providing clean, cool water with each drink.
1. Your horse pushes the paddle to fill the bowl with fresh water.
2. Once they’re done, all water drains below the frost line
3. That’s it! It doesn’t even take three steps!
Say goodbye to chopping ice, scrubbing algae, fiddling with heating elements, dragging hoses, and paying high electric bills. If you’re interested in removing any or all of these headaches from your life, Drinking Post is your answer!
Fresh, clean, and cool water
- This automatic waterer bowl fills with fresh water every time your horse pushes the paddle.
- After they’re done, all the water drains away, so there’s never any standing water.
- No standing water means no freezing or algae growth!
- Water stays at a constant temp of 50 F/10 C (consistent water temp is a HUGE motivator for your horse to drink more water).
No Electricity Required!
- The Drinking Post automatic horse waterer functions and installs like a frost-free hydrant.
- There is a stop-and-drain valve at the base of the Post, which allows the unit to fill and drain with each use.
- When the horse is done drinking, they release the paddle and all the water in the unit drains completely.
- All water remaining in the bowl drains below the frostline, leaving the unit completely empty (there’s no water in there to freeze!).
- This unique automatic waterer design doesn’t require any heaters, insulation, or concrete pads.
Versatile Design
- Each Drinking Post automatic waterer can handle up to 25 animals. More than 25 animals in a lot? Just install additional Posts!
- There is no minimum head count. Drinking Post will stay frost-free even with no animals using it. This is great for fluctuating herd sizes and rotational grazing!
- Since all water drains below the frostline after each use, the Post can sit unused for long periods of time. You don’t have to do anything to prepare your Drinking Post automatic waterer to sit unused, just simply stop using it.
- The exterior housing is a strong yet compact 8.4 inches wide, This makes it the perfect size to set in a fence line or inside a stall, yet at the same time strong enough to install free standing in a pasture. Drinking Posts will make excellent rubbing and scratching Post’s for your horses and they are built to accommodate this!
Set it & Forget it!
- Drinking Post horse waterer has an innovative design that is much easier to clean and maintain than any other watering method.
- Installed properly, it’ll work like a charm with no effort on your part!
- The bowl fills with fresh water and drains after each use, so it stays very clean on its own, as it will NEVER GROW ALGAE!
- If you do choose to clean it, it’s a breeze compared to a large trough, tank, or auto waterer. The bowl is small (only 8″ in diameter), which makes it easy to clean. You’ll simply remove the paddle and wipe the bowl out with a clean cloth and a non-toxic cleaner.
Five Year Warranty – Durable and Reliable
- Rest assured that watering your horses just got easy.
- Every Drinking Post Horse Waterer comes with a 5 year warranty.
- Easily service from ground level to clean filters or perform routine maintenance.
- With only 3 moving parts and zero electricity, there is not much that can go wrong!
- With on demand water, your horses will water themselves.
Drinking Post automatic horse waterer allows you to provide your horses fresh, clean water year-round without using expensive and potentially dangerous electricity! This approach to automatic watering will not only eliminate the risk of electricity, but also the cost! Gone are the days of watching your electric bill spike in the winter because you’re heating water… outside… during the winter!!!
There IS a better solution!
The Drinking Post Automatic Horse Waterer is superior because the water is ON-DEMAND.This means that when not in use, all water is physically below the local frost line.
When a horse approaches, they see a bowl with a paddle inside. The horse activates this automatic waterer by pressing on the paddle. Fresh, clean water fills the bowl. When your horse walks away, unused water drains out – just like a frost-free yard hydrant!
Since water is coming up from below the frostline, the water is roughly around 50 degrees year-round.On a hot summer day, your horses have cool 50 degree water, and in the middle of the winter when temperatures are below zero, Drinking Post will still deliver approximately 50 degree (warm) water.
During the summer, instead of dragging hoses, filling tubs (forgetting to turn off the hose and letting it overflow for hours or days), watching the water get hot and slimy, all so you can scrub it clean – we just eliminate the hot algae filled water! Every time your horse goes for a drink, the will get cool, clean water ‘fresh from the tap’!
Your horses will water themselves.
