These are instructions on how to disconnect the Drinking Post Waterer from your waterline and clean the intake filter after the waterer has been installed.

This simple fix is not something that needs to be done very often, if at all.  If over time you notice the speed with which the bowl fills with water decreases, and in extreme cases may stop filling at all together, a logical place to start is to see if the intake filter is clogged. 

This set of instructions will walk you through how to clean the intake filter on the Drinking Post Waterer.

Once in awhile, someone may need to replace the actuator rod.  This is not common.  Many, many years ago Drinking Posts shipped from our factory with aluminum actuator rods and in extreme conditions corrosive water would damage the rod over time.  In response to this we now utilize a Stainless Steel actuator rod, and have for over 5 years.  Because of this, replacing this rod has become a rarity. 

These are instructions on how this simple fix can be performed without even removing the waterer from the ground or turning off the incoming waterline.

While actuator rods are available directly from the Drinking Post factory, it is often much less expensive to obtain this component locally, as the cost of shipping this item almost always exceeds the cost of the item iteself.  However, if you are in need of one and prefer to order the actuator rod directly from us, we will quickly and happily send you one (assuming you're willing to cover shipping costs!)

If you want to look into obtaining this item locally, it is a 3/16" stainless steel rod.  They come in 10' lengths from local metal suppliers.
