Key Features

  • Adjustable Height: Legs and leg extenders elevate the 12lt fount, significantly reducing water contamination from floor litter and bedding.
  • Easy to use: Start with the fount flat on the ground from day eight for the first week, then fit the legs for the next two weeks, and finally add the extenders to maintain optimal drinking height for the rest of the cycle.
  • Neck-Level Access: Elevation keeps the water at the birds’ neck height, ideal for encouraging comfortable drinking posture while minimising spillage and contamination.
  • High Capacity: Provides 12lt of water, suitable for small to large flocks, reducing refill frequency.
  • Improved Hygiene: Elevated trough position keeps drinking water cleaner, promoting better flock health, and reducing disease risk.
  • Enhanced Accessibility: Offers a more comfortable drinking height for adult or larger birds.
  • Robust Construction: Made from high-quality, durable, UV-stabilized plastic for long life in demanding African conditions.

Maintaining water hygiene is critical in poultry farming, especially with floor-based systems common in Africa. The Poltek 12lt Water Fount (Standing) offers an elegant solution by integrating sturdy legs and leg extenders directly into the high-capacity 12lt drinker design. This elevation keeps the drinking trough well above floor level, drastically minimizing contamination from litter, manure, and dirt. Its adjustable height stages make it ideal for growing flocks: start with the fount flat on the ground from day eight for the first week, then raise it with legs for the next two weeks, and finally add the extenders to maintain ideal neck height for the remainder of the cycle. Cleaner water leads directly to healthier birds. The 12lt capacity ensures ample water supply for small to large flocks, reducing labour. The elevated position also provides a more comfortable drinking posture for mature birds. Made from durable, UV-resistant plastic, this standing fount is built for the rigours of African poultry farms. The familiar twist-lock mechanism ensures easy cleaning and refilling. For farmers seeking high capacity and inherent hygiene benefits in one unit, the 8lt Standing Fount with optional universal bases is an excellent choice.
