Bell-Matic Poultry Waterer

This has got to be the best solution for watering chickens and turkeys. When I installed mine, I put sand in the base, but didn't fill it completely. The first time I attempted to clean it, I tilted it to dump the water. This caused the sand in the container to shift unevenly. We didn't realize the drinker wasn't level until the next morning when we found it dry. So I filled the bottom unit to the top with sand, re-hung it and it's been good since. Also, the 1/4in PVC hose wasn't long enough for my application so, I'm going to order a longer hose. Originally, we wanted to order a pressure reducer since it requires 4-6 lbs of pressure. We set up a bucket of water with a siphon to the drinker while shopping for the correct pressure reducer. However, the siphon works perfectly and we see no reason to worry about changing it. I have a shutoff valve on the water bucket placed slightly higher than the bell-matic for the siphon. Works like a champ!

This is coming from a professional Chicken hearder with 3,000 chickens. These are the best inside waterers you can get. The water level is ajustable. Just do not use clear hose. Very easy to maintain. Again coming from a free range egg farmer. If you do not know how it works I can see how some would not know what to do..

This thing is awesome! I have chicken and pheasants. Ended up getting this for my pheasants and it’s been the GREASTEST addition to my pin. I WILL be ordering another one for my chickens. EVERYONE do yourself a favor and stop buying the other garbage out there. This unit has given me ZERO issues compared to others style of water feeders. It takes a little more set up but WORTH it. Save your money and buy this unit and it will be your last one. GUARANTEE!

At first it was not really working, it was leaking water every minute. Fortunately after i bought a water regulator lo level and time the water it started working really good.

Like the design, set up was easy enough. Product functions via a plunger that when pressed (no water in bell) releases water and when released (bell is full) is supposed to stop water. However the plunger I received leaks water no matter what, which causes the Bell to overflow and waste water. Adjusted bell distance from plunger to no avail. Tried with water pressure from 0.25 gph to 7 gph Contact at support, ask for advice and I receive zero response. Verdict on product is meh, since I have not seen it work. Seller and their support is non existent, cannot recommend.

Works great

I have around 50 Chickens and Guineas in my Chicken Coop. After trying to rely on a bird sitter to come fed and water my birds when I was at work, I came across this product and bought it. It is a game changer. I mounted it underneath a Blue 55 Gallon Barrel which sits on a wooden stand. Now I only have to water my birds every two weeks instead of several times a day. I just fill up the barrel and check on it from time to time. I love it! I recommend this product.

This is working exactly as we needed. We set it up below a raised platform and connects to a 50 gallon tank above. Fresh water now for a month!
