BriteTap Chicken Waterer
Clean Water Made Simple
Traditional chicken waterers are easily contaminated when dirt, debris and droppings fall into open pans of water.
The BriteTap waterer completely shields your flock's water from contamination, so the water stays sparkling clean. No more dirty pans of water for you to rinse out.
The BriteTap waterer is fully covered. Chickens drink from special valves called poultry nipples located on the bottom of the BriteTap.
Even chickens that have used a traditional waterer all their lives quickly learn to use the BriteTap waterer because they instinctively peck at the red water valves. Once one bird learns how to drink, the rest quickly do as well -- generally in just a few minutes.
Easily Create Your Own Customized Chicken Waterer
The BriteTap waterer can be attached to a wide variety of plastic containers that act as the water supply tank.
- Make your custom waterer from a plastic pitcher, water cooler, bucket or any other plastic container you have on hand.
- Easily convert an unused water cooler by removing the spigot and replacing it with the BriteTap waterer. Works on standard 2, 3, 5 and 10 gallon water coolers. Use a cooler you already own, or buy our BriteTap Combo Pack that includes a BriteTap waterer and a 2-gallon cooler.
- Choose a container size and style that fits perfectly in your coop or run.
- Easily change the water supply tank at a latter date if your flock size changes.
- Attach several BriteTap waterers to a large water supply tank to supply more than 16 chickens with water.
Your BriteTap waterer kit comes with all the hardware you'll need to attach it to the water supply tank of your choosing. For more information about suitable water tanks, see the "Extended Information" tab.

Water Tanks for the BriteTap Waterer
Your BriteTap waterer is designed to attach to a container that acts as a water supply tank. This gives you the flexibility to choose a water tank that meets your size and budget.
Your BriteTap waterer kit includes a washer, gasket and nut that allows you to attach the BriteTap quickly and easily to your water supply tank. Use a container you have on hand, or buy the BriteTap Combo pack that includes a 2-gallon insulated cooler.
Water Coolers:
The BriteTap waterer can be attached to Rubbermaid®, Igloo® and other brands of water coolers.* Suitable coolers have:
- Spigots that can be removed and are attached to the cooler with a removable nut.
- A spigot hole with a diameter of that is not smaller than 5/8 inches (15.9mm) and not larger than 7/8 inches (21.6mm)
- The wall of the cooler is less than 3/8 inches thick (9.5 mm) at the point where the spigot connects to the cooler.
- Note: When using a cooler as a water supply tank, use the cooler's spigot hole as the sole point of attachment. Do not drill additional holes into the wall of the cooler since the wall of the cooler is likely to be too thick at any other point outside of the spigot area.
Unfortunately, the BriteTap waterer can not be attached to Coleman® brand water coolers that use a spigot that is described as “dishwasher safe.” (See image of suitable spigots)
Attaching To Other Water Containers:
The BriteTap waterer can also be attached to a variety of water storage containers including: plastic pitchers, food-grade plastic pails, water containers designed for camping, and slimline refrigerator water dispensers. Suitable containers are ones where:
- The container wall is less than 3/8 inches (9.5mm) thick and
- The container has an opening that allows you to place your hand into the interior.
To make these storage containers into a water tank for your BriteTap waterer, you will need to use an electric drill to make a hole in the side of the container.
