If you don’t have a piped supply, a bowser is a necessary addition to your equipment. At its most basic, it’s a large tank (this model holds 600 litres). There is a large diameter cap at the top of the unit to enable easy filling and the outlet is a 1.8m pipe (approx. 5cm diameter) with a ¼ turn tap. Fill the tank from the supply – empty the tank via the pipe into your troughs. The cap is ventilated so the water flows quickly and easily.

If you need to, you can specify a pump which can discharge the contents into elevated tanks or troughs. This allows you to also get a rapid discharge system which sprays the water over a wide area in a short time (600l. in about 5 minutes). This is useful for ‘damping down’ arenas when it gets hot and dusty in the summer months. If you have a powered pump, there is also a suction pump hose kit available which allows you to fill the bowser from any available fresh water source.

water is heavy stuff. A tonne of it weighs… a tonne! Anyway, you get the idea that low ground pressure could be very useful when towing it about. With the SLB600 system you can fill a lot of troughs with cool, fresh water in a fraction of the time taken using other means and with a lot less damage to your precious paddock than using a tractor. It has advantages over piped systems also: you can move troughs about if you use a bowser, and this stops the poaching of the ground that often occurs around a fixed trough.
