Little GiantTrough-O-Matic® Stock Water Tank | Float Valve Controlled Watering Tank with Aluminum Housing | Made In USA

Put it together and in my mule tank and works wonderful

If your cattle are like mine, they will find a way to break stuff. I have had to replace many float valves because the cows got tangled in the water trough feed and broke the plastic fitting on the plastic float valve. This metal case will make it very difficult for them to break this one. It should save me time and money.

This is for my horse stock tank. I don't know how anyone does without one! No more overflowing tanks because I forgot to turn off the water! However it is leaking out of the top. Not sure if I put it together wrong or what. Will call manufacturer for tips.

Works great for our livestock water tank! Now we don’t have to stand around and wait for it to fill. Giving us more time to do other chores.

I saw one person's review of one of the swimming pool fillers mention this item. The swimming pool filler costs over a hundred bucks. This device costs about $20. We bought about $5 worth of 3/4" PFC and some fittings and constructed a bracket to hold the box in the pool. We added sand to the PVC pipes and glued caps over it to give it some weight to hold it on place better. Constructing the holder was simple.

Easy to assemble and easy to install. We set up a livestock tank for deer and their babies on our property. Simple to run a hose to the Little Giant float valve. It worked right off.Simple concept: The water runs through a plastic water restrictor, like what you'd find in any shower head. It's just a plastic piece with a small hole in the middle of it. From the restrictor, it simply shoots down under the float in to the tank. Once the water level reaches high enough, a float that's much like what you'd find in the tank of your toilet, floats upwards and plugs the hole in the water restrictor which shuts off the flow of water to the tank. Simple.You'll want to make sure that your water pressure is adjusted downward at that faucet. I figure you can use a simple water pressure regulator like you'd use on the RV, and fit that on the end of the faucet. The hose screws right in to the threads on the top of the float valve.I had mine up and running in less than an hour and that's because I drilled an access hole through the shed where the water faucet was located. I also fitted the exposed length of hose with some left-over pipe insulation for winter use.

this water float valve has worked very well. i had to construct a way to mount this to an unconventional water container and it has worked very well. we don't use in the winter due to freezing, but the rest of the year it is great and give us one less thing to have to do around the farm -- check and take water to our flock throughout the day. note, depending on your water hardness you may have to clean this periodically to remove buildup.the worst thing about this is probably also a good thing. attaching a hose is not the easiest thing if it is mounted. if it is not mounted, you can easily screw on the end of a hose like anything else. but if it is mounted you will end up with a kinked hose if you don't spin the hose as you tighten to the valve. the reason is the attach point is fix, there is no rotating collar to tighten up the hose. BUT this is also a stronger connection, and likely helps keep the cost down a bit.my suggestion is to buy or contract a short hose that you can easily connect to the float, and then you can connect your hose from the water source as easily as you connect two hoses together.

I have used Trough O Matics for the past 10 to 15 years and they usually lasted 3 years before having to be replaced for not stopping the water when the bowl was full. I bought 3 in a matter of weeks and all of them didn't stop the water from the start. I even tried the more expensive metal one to no avail. If you push up on the float it'll stop but when I let go it seeps in. I don't know if they changed the quality of the rubber stopper disc or the float size changed not allowing enough pressure but I have to move onto something else now. Too bad I liked them when it worked.

No puede faltar en un rancho si tienes tanques de agua

This has greatly helped us during the hot months to make sure the horses always have fresh water. It works perfectly and looks like it will hold up for years to come.

Muy buen producto

The float does not seal. Appears to be mismatched with housing as seal is off centre to inlet hole
