What to do if Tru-Test WaterWell 2 Farm Equipment has low water flow?

  Jeremy WrightAug 2, 2025
  If your Tru-Test Farm Equipment experiences low water flow, ensure the vertical water supply line is free from kinks and that the valve and float assembly has no blockages. Also, verify that the shut-off valve is set to the open position. You can find images of shut-off valve positions on page 12. It is also recommended to check water pressure with a pressure gauge. The cause might be a blockage or kinks in valves or the vertical water supply line, or the shut-off valve might not be set correctly.

  If water is dripping out of the valve of your Tru-Test Farm Equipment, ensure the top and bottom spacers are set allowing the float to move freely and that the valve and float assembly is clear of debris. Check the valve diaphragm and seals, and ensure that the valve connections have been tightened. Also, confirm that the shut-off valve is set to the open position. See images of shut-off valve positions on page 12. This issue may arise if the seals need replacing.

  If the valve on your Tru-Test Farm Equipment does not shut off, replace the valve and float assembly diaphragm. Also, check the pressure and flow capacity. You can find more information on pressure and flow capacity on page 15. This problem may occur if the diaphragm is worn.

How to fix frozen flotation balls stuck to the top of Tru-Test WaterWell 2?

  Nathaniel FranklinAug 17, 2025
  To fix flotation balls stuck to the tank top of your Tru-Test Farm Equipment, use hot water to thaw the flotation balls. Then, adjust the water level to create space between the balls and the drink openings. Applying petroleum jelly to the drink openings can also help. This issue typically occurs when flotation balls are frozen in the drink openings.

How to thaw frozen water in Tru-Test WaterWell 2 Farm Equipment?

  Jeremy WashingtonAug 22, 2025
  To address water frozen in the tank of your Tru-Test Farm Equipment, ensure the vertical water supply line is properly insulated and that the tank bottom is sealed on concrete. If cattle are not drinking from the WaterWell, drain and refill it to recycle fresh water. Also, verify that the vertical water supply line is centered in the thermal earth tube and the horizontal water supply line is 1 foot (51 mm) below the frost line. This is usually caused by water freezing in the lines or connections.
