Polypump nose pump drinker

Description

A pasture pump and drinker in one, for fields with a stream, pond or well but no mains water or power. The animal pushes the lever with its nose and each push pumps about half a litre into the trough. It suits up to about 15 cattle or horses.

It draws water from up to 7 m below ground level, or along up to 70 m of flat ground. The trough is double-walled moulded plastic, sloped slightly so a little water stays in it and draws animals to it. The pump and lever are cast aluminium, with polymer valves and membranes, and it works quietly.

The standard Polypump is for adult cattle and horses. The version with a side bowl has a small bowl that fills from the main trough, sized for calves or foals drinking alongside their mothers.

What you need besides: a 25 mm (1 in) suction hose to the water, with a strainer and non-return valve on the end (not included), and a concrete slab or timber base 20 to 30 cm high to bolt it to through its four fixing points. The hose connects at the back, to a hose tail or a 25 mm male thread. A 25 mm drain plug empties the trough.
