Arizona Drinker-310 Equilibrium Setup
Arizona Game & Fish installed this gravity-fed system in southern Arizona for elk, deer, and general wildlife. In this particular setup, the heavy-duty walk-in style Drinker-310 and storage tanks are set up in an equilibrium system. Setting the drinker and tanks at the same level allows the water level throughout the system to equalize naturally. A float-valve was not utilized so maintenance can be simplified and complications from freezing are reduced. The Drinker-310 has a galvanized strut frame and reinforced steps and is basically a smaller version than the Walk-In drinker. It can be installed above-ground or in-ground, connected to either storage tanks or a water line and installed with or without a float-valve.
