Sow Trough Water Level Controller Assembly |
| Product Image |
|
| Product Overview |
The Sow Trough Water Level Controller Assembly is an automatic water supply solution designed to maintain a stable drinking water level in sow troughs. A diaphragm-operated control valve regulates water flow as the trough level changes, providing continuous water availability without electrical control.
The assembly can be integrated with stainless steel water pipes, sow troughs and mounting brackets in commercial farrowing houses, mating units and gestation barns. Its simple mechanical structure is well suited to new pig farm construction and renovation projects.
|
| Key Features |
- Automatically maintains a consistent water level in the drinking trough.
- Diaphragm-operated design requires no electricity or electronic sensor.
- Few moving components support reliable operation and straightforward servicing.
- Suitable for the high drinking-water demand of lactating and gestating sows.
- Helps reduce trough overflow and unnecessary water wastage.
- Can be connected to vertical or horizontal farm water supply arrangements.
- Compatible with stainless steel troughs and common pig housing partition systems.
- Suitable for intensive commercial pig farms and complete pig house projects.

| Structural Components |
- Water Level Controller: Diaphragm-operated valve body for automatic water regulation.
- Diaphragm: Flexible internal component controlling valve opening and closing.
- Control Mechanism: Adjusts water delivery according to the hydraulic operating condition.
- Water Inlet: Threaded connection for integration with the farm water supply network.
- Vertical Water Pipe: Stainless steel pipe delivering water from the controller to the trough.
- Sow Trough: Stainless steel drinking trough available according to project requirements.
- Mounting Brackets: Corrosion-resistant brackets for wall, panel or pen installation.
- Plug and Fittings: Used to close unused ports and complete the pipe connection.
|
| Working Principle |
The controller uses a pressure-sensitive diaphragm mechanism to regulate water entering the trough. When the trough water level falls, the hydraulic condition changes and the valve allows additional water to flow through the outlet pipe.
As the desired water level is restored, the diaphragm closes the water supply. This automatic cycle maintains a stable drinking level without electrical power and reduces the need for manual trough filling.

| Installation & Maintenance |
Installation:
- Install the controller above the animal-accessible area to protect it from direct contact by pigs.
- Connect the water supply using the specified threaded inlet and suitable sealing material.
- Install a pre-filter upstream where required to protect the diaphragm from debris.
- Secure the stainless steel outlet pipe vertically between the controller and trough.
- Position the water outlet away from the feed outlet whenever practical.
- Flush the water line before commissioning and check the complete system for leakage.
Maintenance:
- Clean the supply pipe and trough regularly to maintain drinking-water hygiene.
- Inspect the pre-filter and remove sediment when necessary.
- Check the diaphragm and sealing components if water flow becomes irregular.
- Inspect brackets, threaded connections and stainless steel pipes during routine farm maintenance.
- Avoid excessive tightening of threaded pipe connections that could damage the valve body.

| Product FAQ |
Q: What does the water level controller do?
A: It automatically regulates the water supply to maintain a stable water level in the sow drinking trough.
Q: Does the system require electricity?
A: No. The controller uses a diaphragm-operated hydraulic principle and does not require electrical power.
Q: Is it suitable for lactating sows?
A: Yes. Maintaining reliable access to drinking water is particularly important in farrowing houses where lactating sows have high water demand.
Q: Can the complete assembly be customized?
A: Yes. Valve connections, pipe length, trough configuration and mounting hardware can be supplied according to project requirements.
Q: Can it be installed in an existing pig house?
A: Yes. The assembly can be adapted for both new pig farm construction and renovation of existing sow housing systems.
Q: What should be checked before ordering?
A: Confirm the farm water pressure, pipe connection, trough type, mounting position and required installation height so the appropriate configuration can be selected.
