About drinking lines, filters & pressure control
Drinking lines carry water from the source through filters, pressure regulators and meters to every house and drinker. Lines are split into zones so one section can be repaired or flushed without stopping the rest, and backflow protection keeps dosing products out of the supply.
Common configurations

Main line to each house and room.
Filtration and pressure control
At the farm and house entry.
Zone metering and flushing
Meters and bypass flushing.
Selection checklist
Before we send a layout or quotation, we confirm these points with you.
| Point to confirm | Why we ask |
|---|---|
| Source pressure | What the supply delivers. |
| Peak flow | All pigs drinking at once. |
| Pipe size and material | Sized for flow and cleaning. |
| Backflow protection | Keeps additives out of the source. |
| End pressure | Right pressure at the drinker. |
| Service and draining | Valves to isolate and empty zones. |
Dimensions, materials and quantities are confirmed for each project.
Scope of supply
| Usually in the package | Agreed in each contract |
|---|---|
| Water lines, filters and pressure regulators | Water source and water quality testing |
| Meters and dosing units where ordered | Treatment of raw water and storage |
| Drinkers and bowls | Drainage and waste water |
