Easy Fill Waterer | Stand-Up

Custom Made to Match Your Coop

Instructions For Freeze-Proofing This Waterer…

Coop waterers are shipped with a slotted cap that allows air in as the water goes down.

In addition to the slotted cap that we include with the 4" Easy Fill waterers, you need a heater and we recommend a cord cover. We don't sell them as they're available online in many places

Water Heater: A submersible fish tank-style heater bought at Amazon, or elsewhere seems to work best. HEATERS MUST HAVE A THERMOSTAT AND BE DESIGNED TO BE FULLY SUBMERSIBLE. Immersion-style coffee and soup heaters will not work.

Cord Cover: Weatherproof Cord Cover like this one at Amazon.  https://www.amazon.com/Farm-Innovators-CC-2-Connect-Water-Tight/dp/B002MHFXS8/ref=pd_bxgy_lg_img_y

Note: Wattage will depend on how cold it gets where you live. Generally, something 50-100 watts will work in most locations. If you have questions, just contact us and we will share with you what we've learned from 100's of customers.

We make the slot big enough to allow a cord of an immersible heater to go through too.

Poultry Nipples: Keeping the water from freezing is half of the battle. The nipple can freeze too if exposed to direct sub-zero wind chill. In our experience the Standard Poultry Nipple will freeze up and become unreliable in these sub-zero wind chill conditions. This is why Roost & Root designed a Freeze Guard Poultry Nipple that you may want to consider as an optional upgrade if you live somewhere cold. Note: the nipple types are not interchangeable and if modifying a current waterer you will need to drill a 5/8" hole in between the current Standard Poultry Nipples to properly install the Freeze Guard Poultry Nipples.

Please Note: This accessory ships for free when purchased with a coop due to bulk rate shipping on packages. * Zone based per item rate calculated in cart starting from shown price.
