Water station

[canny]

I based my design off those seen on the GS.

Materials:
275 gal water tank
20' 3/4" PVC sch.40
Float valve
15 gal water trough
3/4" adapter to connect pipe directly to float valve.
Special connector for tank consisting of rubber tube, hose clamps, and 2 1/2" - 3/4" reducer.

That is really cool. Do hogs mess with it much?

Have had a major issue this summer with bees at the waterstations. They get into the float and clog the nozzle with mud. Might try a small screen cage.

This is basicaly what my boss did on his place. We burried the pvc under ground because last winter the pipe froze and busted. As for unwanted animals around, we built a low fence to keep them out.

How is the trough held down??

Trough is buried and held down simply by the weight if the water, 15 gal.
