Recommended water column height and flow rate using Avicorvi Nipple Drinkers
*These figures were rounded and are approximate - Water column height reference is based on nipple’s base line.
^The water flow rate can be set over the recommended settings (i.e. 200ml[cm3]/min) raising the water column height. Keeping a good
balance between an excellent litter quality and the flow rate is important. A humid litter means too much water flow rate.
