Introduction
The document provides guidelines for the SPARKcup drinking system in poultry farming, covering water quality management, system setup, and operational procedures for optimal performance and animal health.
Water Quality Management
  • Iron and Calcium Deposits: Iron content should be below 0.2 mg/l to prevent harmful deposits. Calcium increases conductivity, leading to corrosion; water softening is recommended.
  • Medication Impact: Some medications can cause obstructions; regular cleaning and disinfection are necessary.
  • Cleaning and Disinfection: Use acid agents for inorganic deposits and chlorine-based disinfectants for bacteria and molds.
System Setup and Operation
  • Initial Setup: Ensure correct water pressure (2.5-3 BAR) and flush lines thoroughly. Adjust pressure to maintain desired water levels.
  • Daily and Weekly Maintenance: Check water consumption daily and flush lines weekly. Adjust line height as animals grow.
  • Pressure Adjustments: Gradually increase water pressure as animals mature.
Specific Guidelines for Different Poultry Types
  • Broilers, Breeders, and Layers: Start with high water levels and adjust pressure and cup height as birds grow.
  • Turkeys and Ducks: Use satellite drinkers initially and adjust pressure based on bird type and growth stage.
Flushing Procedures
  • Manual Flushing: Follow specific steps to avoid damage. Ideal pressure is 3 BAR with a flow rate of 10 liters per minute.
  • Semi-Automatic and Automatic Flushing: Options for efficient maintenance with specific conduit layouts and steps.
Troubleshooting
The guide includes a troubleshooting section for common issues, emphasizing maintaining proper water pressure and system integrity.
General Safety Instructions
Use personal protective equipment, ensure only trained personnel perform specific actions, prevent unauthorized access during operations, and regularly inspect and maintain equipment.
Common Problems and Solutions
Includes solutions for issues like cups running over, birds not getting enough water, leaking valves, water wastage, low water consumption, and more.
Hand Winch Safety and Maintenance
Only adults should operate the hand winch, inspect before use, avoid water for cleaning, and follow specific troubleshooting instructions.
Compliance and Standards
The product complies with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2014/30/EU, adhering to European standards EN ISO 12100:2010, EN ISO 13854:2019, among others.

Swii'Flo - USER'S GUIDE - EUG Iron: When water is pumped to the surface, iron occurs in its soluble ferrous form. The insoluble ferrous ions oxidize upon exposure to air or dissolved oxygen. These and other chemical reactions cause insoluble gelatinous deposits. Impact on water Hardly any impact on health. Neutralizes the effectiveness of medication. Alters the taste, resulting in decreased water consumption. Cause: Gelatinous compounds. Effect: Harmful to nipples, electric water valves if used. Eliminate the iron from the system if iron content > 0.2 mg/l! Calcium: Hardness: Any deposits in...
