Drinking Post Waterer - Denver, Colorado

Dave R.

We have four systems. The oldest one was installed about four years ago, and we had our first problem when the bowl stopped draining. Customer service was amazing. Tracked the trouble down to the weight inside the valve. The Company sent us a replacement for free. Installed and fixed the problem. After years of having electric heaters run to our automatic waterers, these systems are a life saver. If I had a gripe, it would be they don’t do a great job on the website at explaining, in written directions, how these systems work and how to disassemble/reassemble them. We are in the sticks so the YouTube videos aren’t as helpful. See the photo of the weight. This came out of a 6’ waterer and obviously worked for a good while; however, when draining stopped, the hexagonal replacement the company sent took care of the issue immediately.

UPDATE. I received a new owners manual in my email today. Very helpful! This company is great to do business with!

We bought our drinking posts about 3 years ago. I have had zero issues with them. We are on a well so once every fall I do take them apart and fully clean them since I do get sediment from the well. However city water should have no issues. My cows have fresh water even on the coldest days and we had record negative temps last winter! The drinking posts did great. I will be ordering more as we add more pens around the barn area. These are a must have for anyone that deals with frozen hoses, tank heaters, evaporation, and algae build up in normal waterers. They are great for horses and cattle and pigs as well. A post for our pigs is in the list for next summer.

Installed in October and so far so good. The goats learned how to use it and so far it’s working as advertised. Haven’t had any below zero weather yet. I’m wondering if the drain might freeze up when it’s really cold.

Install was pretty straightforward. I’m lucky enough to have a neighbor with a backhoe but if you don’t have access to a backhoe or excavator install with a shovel would be very time consuming.

This thing is amazing. This is the second winter with it. I am going to do the winterizing this year. It got a bit frozen at the top last year in a heavy deep freezing (-15)snow. Warm water and a little cleaning did the trick. No problems with training pony and two horses share it between 2 pastures. Best thing ever.

Overall it love the Drinking Posts and so do my animals. Both the horses and cows will choose the drinking post over a stock tank. There is a little bit of a learning curve in figuring out how to adjust everything so it doesn’t freeze but overall minimal maintenance. If I ever move I’ll put the drinking posts in immediately. I will never go back to stock tanks.

Does not work for Boer goats or white dopers sheep. You'll just spend your time worrying about dehydrated animals. Not frost free. I only bought one thankfully but no resale because others know they don't work, heard after I purchased but didn't believe.

Absolutely love the Drinking Post Waterer. Great not having to worry if the cows have fresh or thawed water. Really looking forward to not having to water the cows this winter. They took to it within a day or two including our calf.

We installed 2 of the drinking posts and 1 of the Classic Equine waterers. Our horses prefer the drinking post. Water is colder for them. Make sure you put a hard surface around though, the horse can make a mess.
