Regulator Management
Litter conditions should be slightly damp to control dust and to make sure your birds are getting enough water, but not too wet.
- Start day-old chicks with 1-2 inches of water in the standpipe.
- On the third day raise the water in the standpipe up to 3-4 inches.
- On the fifth day raise the water in the standpipe to 5-6 inches. Continue to raise the water in the standpipe 1-2 inches every other day until you notice litter condition getting wet. Stop increasing pressure for 3-4 days until litter conditions are good; continue procedures raising water in the standpipe 1-2 inches every other day.
Triple the life of your V-Max Regulator diaphragm by adjusting
your regulator back to about a 2-4 inches of water level immediately after birds
are taken out of the house. This is very practical, because the regulator must
be readjusted to the 1-2 inch water level anyway when chicks are brought into
the house for start-up.
