🪣🐓Drip, Drop, Stop! Solving 18L Bucket Drinker Problems!

🪣💦 Help! My 18L Drink-O-Matic Bucket Drinker Isn’t Working!

Every chicken keeper knows the joy of a fresh, clean waterer… until one day you wander out to the coop and find Niagara Falls pouring out of your 18L Drink-O-Matic bucket drinker. Or worse — nothing is coming out at all! 😱

Don’t panic. These clever drinkers are designed to make life easier, but sometimes they need a little TLC. If yours is overflowing, leaking, or refusing to let water through, here are a couple of quick checks to get things back on track:

• ✅ Check the Float (Part #2): “Sometimes the float inside your drinker can sneakily fill up with water over time. When that happens, the drinker won’t work properly. The fix is simple: open up the drinker, remove the float, pop it open, and tip out the water. Once it’s empty and dry, you’re back in business!”
  

• ✅ Take a peek at the float valve (part #5):- is it inserted the right way, and is it even there? If the float valve isn’t sitting correctly, your drinker will keep overflowing. And if it’s missing altogether… yep, overflow city! Make sure it’s placed inside the bucket exactly as shown in the picture below.
  

• ✅ Make sure you haven't lost the dirt protector (part #4) :If it’s missing, your water will happily keep overflowing because the water level isn’t being held in check. Make sure it’s in place so your drinker behaves — see the photo below for reference.
  
  

• ✅ Make sure it’s level: A tilted base can cause uneven pressure, leading to mystery leaks or no flow.

With a little maintenance, your 18L Drink-O-Matic will be back to keeping your flock happy and hydrated — no more puddles, no more droughts, just fresh water on tap. 🐔💧
