Standard Pressure Reducing Water Tank with Float

Product Overview

The standard pressure reducing water tank with float is the header unit of a nipple automatic drinking system, combining a white translucent body, a bright red lid and a white float valve mounted on the lid. Model SL-00, the float ball automatically controls the inlet water level, so the tank never runs dry or overflows while the house water supply is connected. This automatic refill removes the need for daily manual topping up. The body measures 37.5 cm across the top, 22 cm deep, stands 26 cm high with a 29.5 cm base, and weighs 609 g. The light body means one person can lift and mount the tank on the wall bracket alone, which saves installation time.

Because the tank is light at 609 g and each carton holds 40 pieces, it is easy to lift on site and economical to ship in container quantities. The red lid contrasts clearly with the white body, which helps crews spot the header position on a wall, and the float valve means no manual topping up is needed during the growing cycle. The translucent body also lets the farmer see water color and level from outside, without needing to lift the lid every time. The simple design keeps spare parts to a minimum, which lowers long-term maintenance cost and keeps operations simple.

Key Features and Benefits

• White float valve - the ballcock on the lid automatically keeps the water level steady without manual attention.
• Red lid - the bright red cover makes the header tank easy to locate on the house wall.
• Translucent white body - the see-through wall shows water level and condition at a glance.
• Light 609 g shell - the light body is easy to mount and handle during installation.
• Even gravity pressure - holding water above the line keeps nipple drip even along the whole run.
• 40 pieces per carton - the dense packing lowers freight cost per tank for distributors.

Materials and Quality

The body is molded from translucent food-grade-looking white plastic that resists the daily moisture of a drinking system, while the red lid snaps onto the body and seals out dust. The float valve is a standard white plastic ballcock that opens and closes as the level moves, and it is designed to work with normal house water pressure. Each tank is leak-tested with the float fitted before packing, and the 40-piece carton is stacked to protect the lids and float assemblies during ocean transport. The translucent wall is also smooth inside, which makes wiping down between flocks quick and thorough. The ballcock parts are standard and easy to replace if wear appears after several seasons.

How to Use and Maintain

Fix the tank at the header position, connect the inlet water supply to the float valve connection, and attach the outlet pipe to the drinking line. Open the water supply and watch the float rise to its set level. During weekly rounds, check that the float moves freely and that no limescale sticks to the ball. Between flocks, drain the tank, wipe the inside, and rinse; if the valve starts dripping constantly, clean the valve seat or replace the float assembly. During hot weather, check the float once a day to confirm the tank refills fast enough for peak drinking hours. Keep the inlet hose free of kinks so refill is not restricted.

Applications

This standard float tank suits broiler houses, layer sheds and breeder farms that run nipple drinking lines and want a simple automatic water supply without an electric control. Its light body is also handy for temporary or portable housing setups, where heavy fixed tanks would be inconvenient to move between seasons.

It works for turkey, duck and goose farms as well, and it pairs with the filters and hoses of the same range. Distributors find it a fast-moving entry-level header, especially for customers upgrading from bell drinkers to nipple lines. The float valve means no electric control or sensor is needed, which keeps the setup simple and the purchase price accessible for small farms.
