1- When you get a valve or float, make sure that the materials they are made of can resist hard water or salty water as well as the pressure exerted by ice during freeze times or high temperature in summer.

2- To get a good performance, when filling the drinking trough make sure that the valve being use does not have a smaller outlet than the inner conductor pipe. It can have a tolerance of less than 4mm.

3- When you place the drinking trough, you must give an inclination to the drain hole of 3mm per meter long. This facilitates the cleaning..

4- The filling level must be from 5 to 6 cm lower than the upper part of the drinking trough (when it is regulated at its level, the float must be horizontal. See picture number 1).

5- It is very important to put a float cover . This cover will protect the float so that it is not damaged by the animals' heads.

6- It is advisable that in the pipe screw where the valve is installed you put paint to secure a perfect sealing.

7- To save time and money ask the supplier for valves and floats "CROSSIO".
