Self-cleaning livestock water trough

Clean water without the daily scrub.

SATURN flushes itself on a schedule you set, carrying sediment and feed residue out of the trough while a mechanical float valve keeps fresh water coming in. Built for sheep and cattle feedlots, containment areas and dairies.

How can we help?

For farmers

See what trough cleaning costs you, then try SATURN free for 90 days

Enter your own numbers to see the hours and dollars spent scrubbing troughs each year. If it adds up, we will set up a trough on your farm so you can measure it yourself.

For agents

Bring a new product to the farmers you already work with

We are looking for regional agents with relationships in feedlots, containment areas and dairies. We supply demonstration units, materials and training.

The problem

Troughs in intensive systems need cleaning all the time

"Troughs should be completely emptied, cleaned and re-filled every 1 to 2 days."Agriculture Victoria, Water supply in stock containment areas

Agriculture Victoria also notes that stock avoid or reduce drinking water that is warm, stagnant, or has food residue, dust or straw in it. Keeping up means hours of hand work every week.

How it works

Three things happen, without you

1

Stock drink as normal

A mechanical float valve tops the trough up automatically. No power is needed for refilling.

2

It flushes on schedule

Set the flush interval from your phone over Bluetooth. Water sweeps across the trough floor and out the drain.

3

Clean water refills

Sediment and feed residue go out with the flush water, and the trough refills with clean water.

We install a trough, you use it and record what you see, and at the end you decide. We agree how the trial will be judged before it starts.
