Is Proper Installation Important?
- Absolutely!
- Location of the water is important. It should be protected
from wind, snow and prevailing winds.
- A concrete pad for the waterer to be installed on will assist
with drainage and prevent a mud hole from forming. The
concrete pad must be level.
- The base of the waterer must be caulked or weather stripped to
the concrete pad to reduce the wind penetration.
- If you are installing an electrical unit make sure it is
installed by a qualified electrician. The electrician should install
a properly grounded receptacle outlet, acceptable for outdoor use
and protected from the rain and snow.
- You need to run a water supply line (buried below the ground
freeze line).
- This water supply line will come up to the waterer location
through an Insulated Earth Tube. You have the option of also
wrapping the water supply line in electrical heat tape.
