The base connects directly to your pressurized waterline, and the bowl fills and drains with each use – this keeps the water fresh, and it completely prevents freezing and algae growth! Say “goodbye” to your outdated water trough and “hello” to worry-free watering.
Key Features
- No electricity – No heaters or electricity are required to prevent freezing; the base is buried 18” below the local frostline to prevent freezing.
- No freezing – Drinking Post will stay frost free in temps as low as -50°F/-45.5°C! Just make sure you order a Drinking Post deep enough for your climate. You want the base at least 18″ below your local frostline.
- No algae growth – The bowl fills and drains with each use, so there’s never any standing water for algae to grow in.
- 5-year warranty – This product comes with a comprehensive 5-year warranty on all parts.
- Llama / Alpaca Specialty Paddle – The Drinking Post for Llamas/Alpacas features a weighted riser block that attaches to the standard flat paddle. To activate the water they’ll simply nudge attachment with their head. This is very easy and comes naturally to llamas and alpacas. This paddle attachment will come included with your Drinking Post for Llamas/Alpacas. The Ultimate Paddle Livestock Attachment was designed for alpacas and llamas.

Follow this link for more info on the Drinking Post Llama and Alpaca Automatic Waterer.
Note: Llamas and alpacas are camelid mammals (in the camel family), so they drink less water than the other animals our product is designed for. Please be aware that this can extend the training timeline. Also, llamas and alpacas that are skittish or timid around humans may take longer to train. Please read our Training Guide so you know what to expect.

Valerie Wrobel –
I’ve been using the Drinking Post for 2-3 years now, and there is no going back! This has made my life so much better, never a single problem until today, so I’m on the site ordering a new bowl paddle, just $14, and I’ll be good as new again. I just put my training paddle back on in the meantime, and we are not missing a beat. I highly recommend these. My days of scrubbing water buckets are over and my horses never have hot summer water or ice-cold water in the winter. Getting ready to move and installing 3 more at my new farm. I put them in the fence line, so 3 Drinking Post Waterers will serve 6 paddocks. Customer for life!
