Cover the rock leach field with felt roofing paper, polyethylene, or any type of comparable material (this will keep your leach
field from plugging-up with dirt). Cut out and remove a 8-9” circle opening around where the Drinking Post will be installed.
Also cut a seam where your incoming supply line trench is. Place material over top of leach field.

Flush your water line thoroughly to remove all sand and debris.

Stand the assembled Drinking Post upright resting the edge on the bricks in the leach field as pictured on previous page.
Connect Drinking Post to your incoming water supply line. You may wish to stabilize it with some backfill at any point in the
installation process. Just make sure not to cover up your connection point prematurely.

Turn on your water and check the incoming water supply line connection for leaks.

If you can reach it, you are now welcome to push the paddle down firmly to fill the bowl. The bowl should fill to the top in
approximately 8 to 12 seconds and drain in under 45 seconds. If you can not reach it, you can begin backfilling

Fill the first foot or so of dirt by hand (shovel) and pack down carefully to prevent puncturing the roofing paper or
polyethylene and impairing the drainage area.

Please remember to maintain a good straight installation as you backfill !!!

Once everything is backfilled to grade, you are set to begin utilizing your Drinking Post Waterer!
