Optimus Siphon Drinker For Poultry (Indoor and Outdoor) 25lt FAQs
What is the capacity of an Optimus drinker and how many birds can it serve?
The Optimus Siphon Drinker usually comes in 25litre (about 6 gallons) size, perfect for up to 25 chickens. It works well both indoors and outdoors, so it’s great for backyard flocks or small commercial farms.
What makes the Optimus different from standard poultry drinkers?
A clever two-piece tank design makes cleaning simple and cuts shipping size by up to half. Anti-algae features use special pigments to block light and keep algae at bay. Built tough with strong UV protection to last outdoors. Comes with a top-quality silicone seal that outlast rubber ones. You can easily adjust the water level with a silicone hose to suit birds of all sizes.
What are the key specifications and safety tips?
Capacity: 25L (or 6 gallons)
Dimensions: Approx. 40 × 40 × 25.5cm carton size
Materials: High-quality polypropylene with UV protection
Safety tip: Never lift the drinker when full; it may damage the unit or cause injury.
How do you clean and maintain the Optimus drinker?
Easy cleaning: The two-piece tank allows full access for scrubbing.
Tip: Set the drinker where it needs to be before filling it up, since it gets heavy once full. Keep an eye on seals and hoses for any signs of wear and swap them out if necessary.
