Applications and Usage

The Paxton AT2 is an ideal solution for medium-to-large livestock operations where a reliable, high-volume water supply is essential for herd health and productivity. Its extended 2019mm body length allows several animals to drink simultaneously, which reduces competition at the trough and supports better welfare outcomes across the herd. The end-fill design makes installation straightforward along field boundaries, yard walls, and within cattle buildings, while the integral service box provides protected access to the ballcock mechanism for easy adjustment or routine maintenance without specialist tools. The 318-litre reserve capacity is well suited to managing groups of beef cattle, dairy cows, horses, or sheep on both indoor and outdoor sites, and the self-regulating ballcock ensures a continuous fresh water supply throughout the day. The ribbed MDPE construction resists knocks from large animals and maintains its form under heavy use, and frost resistance to -40°C ensures dependable year-round performance across all UK farm environments.
