Small Animal & Pet Watering

Automating Your Business
Or Hobby

Edstrom makes drinking valves for all kinds of small animals and pets. From gerbils to rabbits – finches to macaws – and everything in between. Whether raised for recreation or profit, you’ll notice the immediate, positive impact of automated watering as it saves you time, money, and labor. Most importantly, your animals will always have access to clean, fresh water.


Edstrom has a long history of watering small animals and pets. Edstrom drinking valves have been used extensively throughout the world in commercial aviaries, exotic bird breeding facilities, and by small animal breeders and enthusiasts. The simple, rugged design and quality of the Edstrom drinking valve make it the most reliable choice for automated watering, providing years of trouble-free performance.


The ValveSmallAnimalValve

To drink, the animal or bird simply moves the stainless steel stem by biting, licking, or pecking. This action causes water to flow out of the valve. When the animal releases the end of the stem, the elasticity of the silicone rubber diaphragm located behind the stem head pushes it back to the closed position, stopping the flow of water. Animals and birds quickly train themselves how to drink from the Edstrom valve.


The System

Water travels from your system’s water supply (pressure reducer, storage tank, or float tank) through the distribution piping, then down to each drinking valve to be accessed by the animals.

• Provides clean, fresh water on demand, 24/7. No more messy water bottles or bowls.

• Saves time and labor previously spent filling and cleaning water bottles.

• Flexible layout makes it easy to rearrange or expand your system.

• Easy and economical to install and operate, giving you a quick return on investment.

• Soft o-ring water shut-off seal makes valves extremely resistant to leaks.

• Valves are easy to disassemble for cleaning purposes or part replacement.
 

Drinking Valves
Edstrom offers several models of patented drinking valves, each with features that are advantageous to specific animals and housing styles.

  • Vari-Flo Drinking Valve
  • Original Drinking Valve
  • Guinea Pig Drinking Valve

Distribution Piping
Edstrom offers two basic methods: flexible tubing and rigid PVC piping. The flex-tube system is very easy to install and mounts directly to the outside of wire mesh cages. Remarkably rugged, a distribution system constructed of PVC pipe is able to endure plenty of animal abuse.

Water Supply
The water supply feeding your automated system must be clean and of a controlled, reduced pressure. Edstrom offers a selection of water supply options, including water filtration and pressure reduction plumbing components.

Starter and Add-on Kits
These kits simplify automated watering design, setup and expansion. Perfect for the novice, they include everything you need to install a new system or add on to an existing one.

Replacement Parts
Edstrom offers key replacement parts for all drinking valves, including diaphragms, o-rings, and stems.
