The Brower MPM10 is an energy free waterer for calves, poultry and sheep that features a flap lid to accommodate the animals drinking while protecting the edge against daily abuse with a stainless steel guard.  

  • Capacity: 10 gallons
  • Herd Size: 10-15 head

How They Work

Heat energy is provided by ground water entering the drinker between 40 degrees F and 56 degrees F.  Brower waterers are heavily insulated to hold the heat provided by ground water.  As further protection a unique patented baffle isolates the drinking water from the main energy storage compartment under the valve cover. 

Usage replenishes the heat gradually lost.  The minimal winter drinking activity needed should result in water being replaced twice a day (10-15 animals depending on drinker capacity, size of animals and whether or not the drinker is sheltered).  

NOTE: If the water entering is less than about 40 degrees F, such as water from a pond, mountain spring water or colder ground water, you may experience icing in the drink openings. 

Product Details

Brower Drinkers feature animal friendly flaps.

Animals find the Brower flaps easier to operate than ball or float closures. Animals instinctively have a rooting reflex moments after they are born. This is the same motion newborn animals use while nursing sand is the same instinct an animal will use to butt or lift up a flap.

Brower flaps are much less likely to freeze than a ball or float closure. anywhere there is freezing and the presence of moisture from sleet, snow , even saliva, that freezing occurs ona flat surface and the recessed areas where ball closures sit. Our flaps are positioned at an angle, not on a flat surface.

Contamination of your animals water supply is greatly reduced with a flap compared with a ball or float. In your pens, there are at least 3 sources of potential contamination. The first is from animals. When nature calls, animals will respond whether they are standing next to a feed bunk or next to your drinker. Secondly when conditions are dry and windy, a lot of the dust swirling around is dried fecal material which can land and accumulate on a flat surface. Thirdly, contamination can occur from flying or perched birds. With ball or float closures, accumulated material on a flat surface is likely to fall into the water source when the ball or float is depressed as animals drink. Because of Browers rain shed design, the incidence of this happening with our flap on an incline surface is greatly reduced.

Finally, with our flap, there is great tolerance to water level. i.e. you don't have to worry about summer and winter water levels. If the water level is too high in a drinker with a ball type closure, the balls can stick. Likewise, with our flaps, animals can drink out of all flaps at the same time - not always so with ball closures where the buoyancy of the water may prevent more than one animal from drinking at a time.

When it comes to 100% energy-free drinkers...go with the flap!
