Our Concrete Water Trough Valves
The valves we use are designed specifically by Hansen in New Zealand for Murphy Precast products and are produced from non-corrosive plastic, helping users manage the water supply to each trough more efficiently.
Hansen efficient valves operate from 0bar to 12bar with their reduced operating pressure and higher flows at lower pressures reducing pumping time and costs, and avoiding valve bounce and water hammer. Designed to work with clean and dirty water, our valves also save you cleaning time, leading to greater efficiency.
Concrete Drinkers Installation
-
Installing your water trough correctly is essential to safeguarding its long-term quality. As such, you must ensure you place your trough on level ground to ensure an even load pressure when the trough is filled. The base used for your trough must be hard and even, such as gravel or concrete, and we do not recommend placing your trough on skids or timbers, as this may lead to it splitting or damaging over time.
- Ensure you have a level base and adequate drainage by extending your base for 1 metre around the entire circumference of the trough.
- It is recommended that in extremely low temperatures, you fully drain your drinking trough to prevent damage, by removing the solid rubber bung and allowing the water to drain out.
Whether you run a small farm or large commercial operation, opt for a robust, concrete water trough designed to stand the test of time, no matter what your livestock or the weather throws at it.
