Portable Automatic Waterer (Ultimate)
The Drinking Post Portable Waterer delivers the same trusted on-demand hydration experience as our in-ground models—but in a lightweight, hose-fed design made for movement. Whether you’re rotating pastures, managing temporary pens, or watering at events or trailheads, this rugged, mobile solution brings clean water to your animals—no power, no scrubbing, no standing water.
Like every Drinking Post, it activates only when your animal drinks. When they’re done, the bowl drains completely—so you’re not left with warm, stagnant water or a breeding ground for algae, bugs, or bacteria. Instead, each drink is clean and fresh from the hose line, not the bowl.
Built for Mobility. Engineered to Last.
- No Standing Water – Bowl drains completely after every use to eliminate algae and disease risks
- Zero Electricity – No power required—ideal for warm climates, warm-weather, or seasonal use
- Self-Cleaning Design – No bowls to scrub, no filters or heaters to replace
- Portable & Durable – Made from the same rugged components as our in-ground models
- Easy Setup – Connects to a standard garden hose for instant water access
Important Use Note: Drained water exits onto the ground surface. This is a key design feature that eliminates algae and biofilm buildup.
Freeze Warning: This unit is not frost-proof. We recommend it for warm climates or above-freezing seasonal use only.
Ideal For:
Rotational grazing, leased land, livestock events, warm-climate operations, and temporary or mobile enclosures.
Available Sizes & Pricing:
- 2-Foot Model: $429
- 3-Foot Model: $439
Whether you’re watering goats on leased pasture, setting up a temporary pig pen, or need a low-maintenance option for horses at a weekend show, the Portable Drinking Post gives you freedom from bucket hauling and algae-scrubbing. Field-tested, fast to install, and ready when your animals are—it’s your go-anywhere watering solution for warmer weather and temporary setups.
The 2-foot and 3-foot Portable Drinking Post’s are a convenient source of water for your horses, cows, sheep, pigs and other livestock. Easy to transport, this portable waterer can be set up anywhere and connected to a garden hose. Easy to use, thirsty animals press their nose to the paddle in an empty bowl.
For horses, most use the 3′ Portable Drinking Post.
For almost all other animals, the 2′ Portable Drinking Post may be best sitting only 24″ off of the ground, it’s easier for shorter animals to access.
Yvonne Gurzell –
I live in Florida and was looking for something I could use to give my animals fresh water, but drains so mosquitos would not find inviting. I first ordered one and fell in love. Since I’m in SW florida, there is no need to bury the unit, so I ordered the portable unit, laid out gravel and sand and secured it to my barn pole. The horses and I just love it. They get fresh cold water and I don’t have to clean water troughs anymore… Win, Win. I now have 3 water portable Drinking Posts and I highly recommend them. The horses learned to use the pallet quickly!!
