Drinking systems are designed primarily to supply birds with sufficient clean water. Advantages of Impex closed water drinking systems:

• Optimal hygiene;
• Better water temperature;
• Minimal water wastage;
• Easy to clean;
• Little maintenance;
• Always enough watering points;
• Optimal supply of medication and additives;
• Dry manure;
• Lower humidity, less ammonia.

How the system works:

The main water supply is the water source of the drinking system. Water pressure is reduced to about 1.5 - 2 bar by a main pressure reducer with a combined or separate filter. The water with reduced pressure flows through a water meter where the water consumption can be read. Hereafter the water can be directed through an optional medicine proportioner to add medicine and/or vitamins to the water. The filtered water is directed by a pipe system to the pressure reducer of each individual drinking line. The pressure reducer enables low pressure for optimal functioning of the nipple and (drip)cup drinkers. The pressure is set by the pressure reducer and can be verified by the water level in the air outlet set. The water is now available to the birds from the nipples or (drip)cups.

Nipples are mounted in thick square PVC tubing in 3.65 mtr lengths. (The quantity of nipples is dependant on the quantity and type of poultry and the number of drinking lines.) The nipple tubing is connected by a special fastening clamp to the stabilizing pipe or aluminium profile. The nipple lines are suspended by a winch system, and the hanging points are at 3 mtr intervals. 

The drinking systems are suitable for various types of poultry: Broilers, layers, parent stock and free-range birds.
