ABSTRACT:
A water volume indicator for an animal waterer which includes a balance beam of substantial mass which supports a water receptacle such that when water is removed the balance beam will pivot to open a valve to allow water to be fed into the bowl and which has a switch which is actuated by movement of the balance beam to close a circuit to actuate a timer such that the time that the valve was opened to add water can be determined. This allows the operator to determine how much water has been removed from the bowl by the horse or other animal and thus the amount of fluid intake by the animal is determined.
