Complete Set Pipeline Automatic Chicken Nipple Waterer Cups and 1/2" PVC Tee Fittings Pipe Feeder Poultry Waterer Chicken Waterer pourtly Water Cup Durck Watering System

We bought this because we were going out of town and wanted to make it as easy as possible for the pet-sitter (3 cats, 1 dog and 11 chickens is a lot 😅). It has worked perfectly! I was worried about leaks since some comments mentioned it, but I knew my husband could figure out the pipe glue ratio to make it secure! The only issue we have had so far is the 1st cup closest to the barrel, which fills up first, got knocked sideways and the entire barrel emptied . Obviously user error and easy fix. Definitely would recommend! We hooked it up to a 35gallon trash can from Home Depot and will soon be adding a rain catch system to make it self sufficient.

This setup worked better than expected! We have had several different types of waterers for the hens, all that either leaked or just didn’t work properly. This kit is working great so far, and provides unlimited water for them! Only hint is to be careful when threading in the red cups- too tight and the flimsy rubber washers squish out and leak, too loose and they leak… I went the Goldilocks route and not a drop after being set up for a few days now.

It works well but the chickens bump into the cups occasionally and knock them on their side a bit so they leak. If I can figure out how to keep them upright they’ll be great. Other than that they work well

Put in a 30 gallon tank and it’s so freakin convenient. Assembly was super easy and the chickens love it.

Product was just what I expected. Overall very easy to follow instructions and customize to your needs. Just needed plumbers glue to complete the project. It’s been holding up just great in my chicken run.

Right out of the box this thing had minor issues I had to resolve. The float never would stop the water flowing, and the cups wanted to leak all the time from the threads until I used Teflon tape on the threads. Now the cups fill up to the top and drip slowly. I only fill the bucket every 4 days by turning the hose on at the bucket instead of filling the old watering bucket daily so in a way it's a win. For the money it's not to bad and way better than what I had.

This has been great for chicks! It was pretty easy to put together and I never have to worry about them running out of water. The cups are small enough that the chicks don't get wet drinking. It would work great for adult chickens too!

I'm an engineer and a homesteader. I've done tradesman work all my life. The way these are designed, the seal is supposed to be the rubber washer between the cup stem and the PVC Tee. In order to compress this seal, you have to get the threads sufficiently tight. The male threading on the cup stems does not match the female threading on the PVC Tees. Its like putting a metric bolt in an SAE nut. It'll thread in- but you can easily just push it in. There's no amount of teflon tape you can use to fix this fittment problem. Mind you this was all 10 cups- not just 1 or 2. I was able to occastionally (holding my mouth *just* right) get the threads to hold tight enough to create a good seal. Then I looked at my chickens very sternly and said "don't touch the cup when you drink ladies". Apparently the seller needs a disclaimer *only good for dainty chickens who don't try to stand on or peck at watering cups* /sarcasm off There is another leak point where the cup "pops" into the threaded portion. This mechanism is where the cups can be twisted left or right after having been mounted. Again- this seal relies on a tight fit - compressing the washer inside. As the cups age (and the chickens push down on the cups) the interference fit wears thin (its cheap plastic). This then allows the cup to slide down and the rubber washer to decompress. We're talking weeks folks- not months or years. My chickens are 22 weeks old. They've been out of the brooder and in the coop where this water system is installed for 7 weeks. At this point- its too late to return. I fixed these issues by using JB Weld - Water Weld, a waterproof epoxy mold (think playdough) applied liberally around all connection points. I think the folks who haven't had leaks (yet) are reviewing early AND used the wingnut/bucket installation rather than the PVC Tee installation (the wingnut thread DOES match the cup thread). Save your money and your frustration. Buy a different brand.

Cups are cheap. Everything leaks

This system is crap the cups constantly leak caused more problems than it was worth and then the birds were also going under them and pushing them up and dumping water all over as well. Get the other cups with the little yellow do-dad in them that the birds peck i havnt had any issues from them
