Nivek Precision Pressure Regulator Filter Combo, with Proportioner Hookups

The Pressure Regulator Filter Combo, with Proportioner Hookups comes with an in-line filter that has its own blue flush valve to flush out contaminants. It also has a red by-pass valve and two hook ups to allow attatchment of a mediction proportioner (available as a special order). When not used with a proportioner, the red bypass valve is in the straight line position so water flows to founts. However, when a proiprotioner is used, the red bypass valve is turned in the cross-position to force the water through 2 blue hook-ups vlaves (which are opend up)  to allow the water to flow through any proportioner device attached.

 

What is a medication Proportioner?
A medication proportioner is a device (sold seperately)  that allows the introduction of water-soluble vitamins, supplements, or medications in dose-controlled amounts. The proprotioner works by metering small amounts of the medicament in proprtion to teh amount of water flow being used by teh animals. A proportioner can also be used to add bleach to water in trace amounts in non-minicipal water supplies, such as well water. This chlorniation can eliminate a number of bacterial conditions in rabbits from poor water quality.

Automatic watering systems require reduced water pressure in the range of 0–4 lbs. per square inch (PSI). The drinking founts will not work if connected directly to household pressure which is typically in the range of 25 or more PSI. This pressure regulator is the solution since it can be easily adjusted to deliver between 0 and 10 lbs. of pressure. An alternative is to use the Nivek Tank(s) which works by gravity.

Tip: On multi level setups, use 1 regulator for each 1 or 2 tiers. This will give you ultimate control over the pressure since pressure increases the further the founts are away (or below) the pressure regulator.

Tip: Pressure regulators that are available at local hardware stores will not work since they can only reduce pressure to about 25 lbs. 

Tip: Connect a short length of garden hose to bottom of filter to carry flushed water away.
