Drinking Post is the best automatic waterer on the market… but what makes us so great? Here are a few things that set us apart.

1. NO ALGAE

Drinking Post Automatic Waterer will never grow any algae! The waterer fills and drains with each use, so there’s never any standing/stagnate water for algae to grow in. Every time your animal pushes the paddle, they’ll get fresh, clean water directly from the waterline. Drinking Post Automatic Waterer will completely eliminates algae growth! Give your animals the fresh water they deserve – and for you? No more scrubbing scummy troughs or tanks!

2. FROST-FREE WITH NO ELECTRICITY

The Drinking Post Automatic Livestock Waterer stays frost-free without requiring any heaters or electricity! The base of the Drinking Post will sit 18″ below your local frostline and it fills and drains with each use. Since all the water drains below the frostline after each use, there’s never any standing water that can freeze. This is the same concept that’s used by a frost-free hydrant. The Drinking Post can work in extremely cold climates, withstanding temps as low as -50 F/-45.5 C!. We sell many different lengths of Drinking Post to accommodate various frostline depths in climates across the globe. Our longest Drinking Post is 10 ft. long which can handle even the deepest frostlines! What if you don’t live in a cold area? No worries! We sell short Drinking Posts that are perfect for hot climates.

3. WORKS FOR ALL LIVESTOCK ANIMALS

The Drinking Post Automatic Livestock Waterer is very versatile! It works for all livestock animals, big or small! It can be used for horses, cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, alpacas, llamas, and more! We have special paddle attachments to help different species use the Drinking Post. The Drinking Post comes in many sizes, from 2′ to 10′ long so you can set the above ground height to accommodate the size of your animals. The Drinking Post can also be easily shared between different species. Just set the height to allow the shortest animal to reach and make sure you have the correct paddle attachment!  The Drinking Post Automatic Livestock Waterer is also versatile in where it can be installed. It has a small footprint and easy installation, so you a put it in your pastures, runs, sheds, or stalls!

4. FIVE YEAR WARRANTY

The Drinking Post is simple, high quality, and reliable!  The Drinking Post is extremely reliable because it’s built to last. We don’t make products that will break on you so you’ll have to replace them or constantly buy parts. That’s not how we do business. We designed the Drinking Post to last you for decades!

The Drinking Post exterior sleeve is made up of a thick synthetic polymer blend. Why do we use this material? Well it’s strong, but it has flex when needed. So when your animal is leaning up against it or your horse kicks it, it will flex, not break. Plus, your animal’s nose is in the bowl pushing the paddle all the time, so it can’t be metal, because that would get extremely hot in the summer and cold in the winter. Our composite materials are temperature neutral, so it’s always comfortable for your animals to use. While all the animal-facing components are a neutral material, all the fittings are stainless steel or brass. The activating rod that connects the paddle with the valve is also stainless steel.

Plus, the Drinking Post automatic waterer is connected directly to the waterline, we never install using a flex hose. The Drinking Post also comes in different sizes, so you will get the perfect size based on the specific depth of your frostline. This means there is a solid construction from top to bottom, regardless of how deep that is. We never rely on tires or insulation to bridge the gap between the waterer and the waterline like some other automatic waterers on the market.

Plus, everything comes with a 5 year warranty.  

We’ve got you covered!
