Description
Description
Everything you need to turn a barrel, a stock tank or a length of large PVC into a gravity fed hog waterer. The container itself is not included.
The kit is the Model 33/13 cast aluminum cup, the complete 290 gravity valve, a cradle base to steady it, the instruction sheet and a back plate template so you can mark the holes square the first time. The pig pushes the paddle and the water comes, and the knob on the 290 valve sets how much pressure it takes, so you can tune it to the size of the animals.
The cup is cast aluminum and the base holds it steady, which is what keeps a hog from working it loose over a season.
Turn a Barrel Into a Waterer
Everything you need to convert a barrel, a stock tank or a length of large PVC into a gravity fed waterer. The cup, the valve, the cradle base and the template are all here. You supply the container.
This waterer is strong, I highly recommend this for your swine. You will need more hardware than what is supplied, I had to purchase three bolts and some rubber washers. My pigs took to it in a few days, they seem to like it. The customer service at peteco is amazing. Very fast to resolve issues. I am very pleased with the product and peteco.
Outstanding product. We bought our first one and tried it out on our girls and it was a huge hit, especially in the Georgia summers which last till December. We have since deployed these reliable waterers in all of our hog enclosures.
Fast delivery!!! Order anything they got and you get a Thank you note!!! Loved it!
Works great. Easy to use.
Item as shown packed well and arrived in great shape!
Thank you
Seems very sturdy, great people to work with thx!
I bought one of these 2 years ago for our pigs and it hasn’t missed a beat. That’s why I just bought 2 more as our operation is growing.
Pigs learned it quickly. Works awesome. Template was off so be sure to make your own measurements to insure easier installation.
Bruce, thank you for the review! We have mentioned to Trojan about your concern regarding the template. This is our most popular item and haven't had a single mention of the template being off. Trojan will check the template next time that they are printed to verify! But it's always a good practice to measure twice with any installation. Thank you again!
I would like to see this waterer at least 2 inches wider and at least 3 inches longer. We have Idaho Pasture Pigs, and their snouts are shorter and wider than an average conventional meat pig. Our boar has a difficult time drinking. The overall design seems great. Our girls do ok with it.
The product is a game changer for our pigs and it was so easy to install. The customer service was fantastic!
Thank you Lauren!
I was so impressed with a hand written thank you note . I will now check this co first
Works as advertised
Great product, shipped fast, great customer service!!
It is sturdy and well made, pigs haven't destroyed it yet but they are young. Even at easiest setting, slow to fill but it seems to work ok
This has greatly reduced watering time for me and ensures plenty of clean water for my hogs. I am now using 3 of these on a small pork production operation. They are holding up very well for a smaller breed that I raise from feeder size up through finishing. On the larger breed they are good up through feeder and early growing phase. Very easy to install on a plastic barrel and they are not leaking. As usual, the customer service at PeteCo was great.
The product works great once I saw the video you put on you tube on how to adjust the 290 valve. Service was beyond great too!!!
Very sturdy and well built. Good value. The customer service was excellent.
Easy to attach to the barrel, comes with a fool proof template. Using this for four feeder pigs raised in a dirt lot that had been drinking out of a tub. They had to get good and thirsty and within 24 hours they were all using with ease. Clean water every time and no more standing in the water tubs. Well worth the money.
The pig waterer is holding up well so far.
The service I got from PeteCo has been great
Exactly what I was looking for
As advertised
It’s the best service I’ve experienced from any retail experience in 25 years!!
Product works great and was delivery was fast. I will definitely order from PeteCo Supply again.
I love it and will order more. Easy to install. Fast delivery.
Just received the gravity flow watered. Peteco offers the best price and has the item! Haven’t installed it yet, piglets are coming next week and we look forward to great success with this waterer. Thank you peteco for quick service!!
Just what I ordered will look to them for more of our pig needs...
Easy to install. System appears to work as advertised. I believe my animals will be healthier with this watering system. Time will tell of durability. If it holds up, I'll definitely buy again.
Works good
Easy to install and pigs went right to using it, it holds up well from them trying eat it! Great product and the support I got from Ruth was very useful👍
Has worked ok, but we have a small leak and not sure which hole it is coming from.
Hi Jeff, sorry to hear that the unit has a small leak. Some things to check is to make sure that the valve is not too close or too tight against the trip plate. Also, to eliminate the possibility that there is an opening around the barrel, extra plumbers putty may be needed. Please feel free to reach out if we can assist you in any way.
Good product. Easy to install. Great customer service from Peteco
Great product, easy to install
Gravity Barrel Kit or a Pressure Cup Waterer?
Both put water in front of hogs. The question is whether you have a pressurized line running to the spot.
| Barrel Waterer Kit, part 17515 | Pressure cup waterer, such as the Model 33 | |
|---|---|---|
| Water supply | Gravity from a barrel you fill. No line, no pump, no pressure. | A pressurized water line run to the waterer. |
| What you supply | The barrel, stock tank or large PVC. Everything else is in the kit. | Nothing, the waterer is complete, but the plumbing is on you. |
| Where it works | Pens and lots with no water line, rented ground, anywhere you can haul water to. | Barns and lots already plumbed. |
| Refilling | You fill the barrel. Capacity is whatever container you use. | Continuous, as long as the line holds pressure. |
| Winter use | Not suited to it. The trough is exposed and there is no provision for heat. | Depends on the model and whether the line is protected. |
| Price | $186.55, and it ships free to the 48 states | From about $82 for the cup alone |
Building Your Barrel Waterer
-
1. Pick the container
A clean barrel, a stock tank or a length of large diameter PVC. Nothing that has held chemicals or fuel. The kit does not include the container, which is the part most people already have.
-
2. Mark it with the template
Use the back plate template from the kit to mark the opening and the bolt holes. Set it low enough that the cup draws the barrel down properly, and high enough to leave the sediment behind.
-
3. Fit the cup and the valve
Bolt the Model 33/13 cast aluminum cup through the wall onto the cradle base, then fit the complete 290 gravity valve behind it. The instruction sheet in the kit walks through the order.
-
4. Fill, set the paddle, watch them drink
Fill the container and set the adjustable knob so the paddle takes about the pressure your hogs can give it. Watch the first group work it and adjust from there.
Barrel Waterer Troubleshooting
Shop 290 Valve Parts-
It will not shut off
Grit sitting on the 290 valve seat. Drain the barrel, pull the valve, rinse the seat and the strainer and refit. If the seat is worn rather than dirty, repair kit 12530A rebuilds the valve.
-
No water comes through
Check the container is vented. A sealed barrel will airlock and nothing will reach the cup however hard the paddle is pushed.
-
Flow has gone slow
The strainer on the 290 valve is probably loaded with sediment. Rinse it, and if it is past cleaning, the strainer is sold on its own.
-
The paddle is too stiff for young pigs
Back the adjustable knob off. A paddle set for finishers is more than a weaned pig can move, and that is the most common reason a new barrel waterer goes unused.

Barrel Waterer Frequently Asked Questions
What You Get
Is the barrel included?
Is the barrel included?
No. The kit is the Model 33/13 cast aluminum cup, a complete 290 gravity valve, the cradle base, the back plate template and the instruction sheet. You supply the barrel, stock tank or large PVC, which is usually the part people already have on hand.
What can I mount it to?
What can I mount it to?
Any clean container with a flat enough section of wall to take the back plate and the cradle base. A plastic or steel barrel, a stock tank or a length of large diameter PVC all work. Avoid anything that has held chemicals or fuel.
Using It
Does it need water pressure?
Does it need water pressure?
No, and that is the whole point of it. It runs on gravity from whatever you fill, so it waters stock in pens and lots that have no water line at all.
Can I use it through the winter?
Can I use it through the winter?
It is not suited to winter. The trough is exposed and there is no provision for adding heat, so it will freeze. Think of it as a three season waterer, or one for a barn that stays above freezing.
How do I set the paddle?
How do I set the paddle?
The 290 valve has an adjustable knob that sets how much pressure the paddle takes. Start soft and firm it up until the hogs can work it without it running on its own. Weaned pigs need it noticeably lighter than finishers.
Parts and Care
What wears out first?
What wears out first?
The 290 gravity valve, like on any gravity setup. Grit works onto the seat and it starts to run on. Repair kit 12530A rebuilds it, and the seats, seals, springs and strainers are all stocked separately.
How often should I clean it?
How often should I clean it?
Drain and rinse the container between groups, and rinse the valve strainer when you do. Sediment settling in the bottom of a barrel is what eventually finds its way onto the valve seat.
