Overview of Water Troughs

Water troughs are an essential part of livestock and agricultural management, providing a reliable and consistent water source for animals. Designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, these troughs ensure that livestock have access to clean water, promoting health and productivity. In Perth, where water availability can be challenging, investing in durable and efficient water troughs is a practical solution for farmers and property owners.

Why Choose Water Troughs in Perth?

Built for Harsh Conditions

Our water troughs are specifically designed to handle the unique challenges of Perth’s climate. Whether exposed to intense sunlight or heavy rains, our troughs maintain their structural integrity and functionality.

Wide Range of Options

Bluewater Tanks offers troughs in various shapes and capacities to suit diverse livestock needs. From smaller troughs for individual pens to large-capacity options for herds, we provide tailored solutions for every farm.

Efficient Water Management

Our troughs integrate seamlessly with water storage systems, allowing for easy refilling and monitoring. Pairing troughs with rainwater tanks or bore pumps ensures consistent water availability even in remote locations.

How Do Water Troughs Work?

Water troughs are designed to store and provide water for livestock in a controlled and efficient manner. Here’s how they operate:

  1. Water Storage: Troughs are filled with water manually or through an automated system connected to a water source such as a tank or bore.
  2. Float Valve Regulation: Float valves help maintain water levels by automatically refilling the trough when levels drop.
  3. Easy Access for Livestock: Troughs are positioned at ground level, making it easy for animals to drink without effort.

Some advanced systems may include filtration features to ensure water remains clean and safe for consumption.

Applications of Water Troughs

Livestock Farms

  • Provide a consistent water source for cattle, sheep, goats, and horses.
  • Use multiple troughs across large paddocks to reduce competition among animals.

Agricultural Operations

  • Supply water for irrigation or crop management.
  • Maintain water availability for working animals or aquaculture systems.

Rural Properties

  • Ensure water availability for hobby farms or small-scale livestock operations.
  • Use troughs for pet animals, such as ponies or alpacas, in rural residential settings.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Water Troughs

  1. Capacity Needs
    1. Assess the number of animals and their daily water consumption to determine the required trough size.
    2. Choose larger troughs for herds and smaller options for individual enclosures or pens.
  2. Material Durability
    1. Opt for troughs made of UV-stabilized polyethylene to withstand harsh sunlight and extreme temperatures.
    2. Ensure the material is resistant to impacts and corrosion for extended lifespan.
  3. Ease of Maintenance
    1. Look for designs with smooth interiors to simplify cleaning and prevent algae growth.
    2. Ensure compatibility with float valves or other accessories to reduce manual intervention.
  4. Placement and Installation
    1. Consider the available space and layout of your property when selecting a trough design.
    2. Position troughs near water sources for easier filling and monitoring.
