Water is the most consumed nutrient on your farm. A cow at peak production can drink up to 150l/day and most of that happens in short, intense surges – after milking and after feeding. If your trough can’t keep up at those moments, cows go short.

And when cows go short on water, feed intake drops, performance suffers and the impact often goes unnoticed until it shows up in the figures.

That’s why Easyfix has engineered a new range of stainless-steel water troughs designed to integrate seamlessly with their extensive range of products.

Key features of the Easyfix stainless steel water trough.

Water is a performance driver, not a utility

Many water troughs on the market are still designed around one thing: cleaning convenience.

But in modern dairy and beef systems, refill speed, access, hygiene over time and placement within the shed matter far more than most people realise.

Cows don’t drink evenly throughout the day. They drink in surges. And water systems need to be designed for those moments.

At Easyfix, we believe water should be treated as a core performance input, not an afterthought.

A system approach to water on farm

At Easyfix, we don’t design products in isolation.

Everything we build, from cow cubicles and rubber flooring to feed barriers and cow mattresses, is engineered to work together, supporting how cows move, feed, rest and drink throughout the day.

The Easyfix Stainless Steel Water Trough range is the natural next step in that system.

Positioned correctly alongside feeding areas and cow flow routes, it ensures water access supports, rather than competes with daily performance on farm.

When feeding and drinking work together, intake improves, welfare rises and daily workload comes down.

What makes the Easyfix water trough different?

Food-grade 316 stainless steel: built from premium 316 stainless steel for superior resistance to rust, corrosion, bacteria and algae, compared with standard SS304 or galvanised alternatives. Cleaner water, longer lifespan and a higher hygiene standard from day one.

Rapid-fill, low-maintenance float valve: a high-performance float valve delivers fast, reliable refill, so water availability keeps pace, with peak demand after milking, after feeding and in warm conditions.

Easy-clean, farmer-first design: smooth internal surfaces and a multidirectional dump valve make cleaning faster, more controlled and less messy. Less time cleaning means more time for everything else.

Sloped internal profile: designed for fast, complete emptying so water doesn’t sit and stagnate between washes, helping maintain freshness and hygiene.

Wall- or floor-mounted flexibility: one core trough design, with wall- or floor-mounting options, suitable for new builds and retrofits, with flexible vertical or horizontal plumbing connections to suit existing pipework.

Optimised drinking depth: water depth and trough height designed around cow preference, encouraging regular intake while reducing splash, stagnation and contamination.

Built for farmers who think in systems

The Easyfix Stainless Steel Water Trough range is designed for progressive dairy and beef farmers investing in modern or expanding herds farmers who understand that reliability, hygiene and lifetime performance matter more than short-term fixes.

Every trough comes complete with a free cleaning brush. It’s a small detail, but it reflects how we think: farmer-first design, reduced friction and systems that work, day in, day out.

This isn’t about replacing a trough.

It’s about improving how water works within your feeding and drinking system, delivering cleaner water, better performance and less hassle over the long term. Providing farmers with peace of mind.
