Customers praised this poultry watering system as "easy to install" and effective for quail, chickens, and brooders. Most appreciated the insulated tubing, durable components, and versatile cup options. However, some noted the reservoir is small for larger flocks, cleaning can be difficult, and the tank doesn't fully drain. A few wished for clearer instructions and larger tank options.

TL;DR; Complete outside fill kit; Good for variety of age chicks to chickens

I’m getting quite fond of the RentACoop products. They are more of a premium hobbyist bit of gear. This one is no exception. The kit includes no instructions but the listing is quite clear on the use case.

I particularly like the flange adapters in this kit that allow you to either use them as flange adapters to get either a 5/16” barb connection or 1/8” npt out of a bucket or mount pecking style or cup style waterers on any flat surface or small diameter wire mesh. The fitting requires about a 7/16” hole and includes a seal when water tight connections (e.g. a flange adapter on a bucket) but are shaped to mount to any flat surface without tools.

The other nice feature is the two different types of cup waterers. We like the look of the smaller cups for larger birds and the valve actuated water cups for smaller birds. This system will allow for a lot of time saving on morning and evening chores as the water fills from the top and the only cleaning needed is to scoop any debris out of the cups with a finger. Compared to glug glug style waterers that’s 1 minute of work vs 5 minutes so when you have multiple flocks that adds up.

The water tank has multiple ways to be mounted, hooks on a cage wire, a dedicated bracket, or a wrap around spring.... one of these will work for your setup.

I’m not sure about the insulated tubing that comes with the kit. It seems quite flexible but only winter time will tell how well it works. The thick walls worry me but so far RentACoop has never disappointed.

5 stars a little pricey but a good value nonetheless.

How I review:
Reviews start with 5 stars and I subtract points.
- 0 for value but I try to provide guidance
-0.5 to -3 for product not matching description e.g. stainless steel is actually plated steel
-0.5 to -3 for product missing badly on execution
I select products carefully so low (1-3 scores) are rare but detailed comments and critiques almost always are in the review. Most of my reviews come out 4-5 range.
If possible I dismantle or destroy items to examine inner workings.

Easy set up

I love that this allows you to have a versatile water set up, but we have had issues with the water dripping down fully. Once the water gets to about 1/4 full, it doesn’t pour out any more, not sure why as we have followed all directions but it wont drink out anymore.

Pretty good!

There was no instructions, but it wasn’t too hard to figure out how to set it up. It did work with my 1/2 inch hardware cloth on the quail aviary that I’m building. The tubing is a bit harder to connect up than other tube systems I’ve had, but that is because of the insulation. It wasn’t hard enough to make it a problem, though, and the insulation may have some benefits.

All in all, pretty happy with it. I have it installed, and my quail actually found it pretty quickly! It will be nice to be able to refill their water without having to carry water into the aviary.

Best thing I've gotten for my chickens

This watering station is amazing! I have been looking for something like this for a few months now and this is exactly what I needed. The container that holds the water easily hooks onto chicken wire so no tools, screws, or zip ties are needed to attach this to the coop. You can clip the tubing where ever you need to, so it's completely customizable. I used the two cup watering system so I could have a cup on each side of the coop for my girls. The tubing fits snuggly through my chicken wire, and stays in place nicely so no ties were needed to install those either. Works well to keep the water fresh. The ONLY negative is that the water only lasts my four chickens one day, and then I have to re-fill. But I just keep a large bucket near by and re-fill it each morning. This is a great customizable product for you coop!

Good small kit

I think this kit can be used for the babies while in the brooder. It has great insulated tubing to keep from freezing in the cold. Came with a lot of cups, but not a lot of tubing. Excellent quality and a great starter kit for anyone who for a couple of chickens. 2 size cups.

Okay Product

No instructions were included with the RentACoop DIY Sip Station Watering System. Fortunately, I am no stranger to putting these sorts of things together. The quality of the materials is decent.

Some people might get confused and think the cups are meant to lie on the ground, but they're actually meant to be attached to a hutch or coop. The water will only pour out if the cups are left on the ground. Without instructions or directions, I was left to figure out how to attach the sip spouts. If this were a gift, I wouldn't have known how to piece it together or how to attach it.

Great for a quail hutch.

Great waterer. It’s nice knowing my quail have water all day until I get home. These are easy to fill and you don’t have to disturb your bird to do so. It would be nice for the water tank to be larger for these.

Hard to clean

Love the concept and I really really wanted it to work… however, it’s nearly impossible to actually clean it. The tank got super dirty… slimey (algae?). In order to clean it you have to take it all apart… I nearly broke my quail hutch trying to disassemble to clean. Will not be using again. Unfortunately by the time I got it all set up and figured this out… the return window has closed so I can no longer return it.

Great for quail and broader boxes. Super simple to install

Great product! Very easy to assemble just by looking at the the picture on the box. This has been very helpful for my quail and my young chicken in the broader box. It comes with two styles of drinker cups. The bowl shaped one with my quail would get dirty and I have to clean it out every day. When I switched to the one they have to peck to get water that issue was no more. I bought two of them because their so good.
