“From constantly cleaning dirty troughs to clean water that keeps lambs eating and growing”

 

💬 On time savings

• “It cuts the time right back.”

 

💬 On overall value

• “Oh, absolutely.”
• “Big improvement.”
• “We would definitely attribute part of that to giving them clean water…”

 

💬 On water quality

• “They get really fussy very quickly.”
• “If the water’s clean, they have a drink, and off they go…”

👉 Clean water directly drives intake.

 

💬 On performance benefits

• “The size is definitely on the upper end…”
• “I would definitely attribute part of that to clean water.”

 

💬 On Animal behaviour

• “We used them in a feedlot trial…”
