Options for frost protection

Option A : Connection to water loop
In combination with a Suevia connection set for 3/4" water loop in stainless steel, an easy integration into water circuits is possible. A perforated hole (on left or right side) is foreseen for installation of the circuit pipe. Circuit pipe is protected by the steel support against animals impacts.
Attention : remaining water in the bowl may freeze. It is recommended to install a Suevia heating unit.

Option B : Frost-free with heating set, feed pipe connection from below
To protect the valve and the bowl from freezing a heating set of 24 V-80 W is installed inaccessible for the animals inside of the steel support underneath the bowl.
To ensure a frost-free feed pipe, it is recommended to install a heating cable
of 24 V-20 W-2 meters or 24 V-30 W-3 meters, wrapped around the water pipe and connected to the transformer together with the heating element of the drinker. All water line pipes must be insulated. For automatic switch on/off of transformer, a thermostat can be additionally installed.
