ABSTRACT:
A housing for a livestock drinking station is formed by a hemispherically-shaped drinking basin including a water outlet located substantially in the bottom center of the basin and a swirl-type water inlet integrally formed in one side thereof. A continuous side wall extends around the periphery of the basin and is tapered outwardly from the top of the basin toward the bottom thereof and includes a continuous shoulder for supporting the basin within the ground. The basin and continuous side wall are integrally made of shock-proof, reinforced fiberglass material affording a smooth, non-porous external surface. The continuous side wall and the basin form a smooth rounded top edge surface. A fast-flow drain is removably mounted within the water outlet and includes an adjustable orifice for varying the flow of water from the fast-flow drain. An automatic water feed valve in the water inlet line maintains a constant water level in the basin. A drainage system is located under the fast-flow drain within the interior of the housing for draining water flowing from the basin.
