Automated Watering Systems help make the vivarium a better place for the animal residents and their caregivers. Our Automated Watering Systems improve water quality, ensure a constant supply, and reduce variances in the water supply that could affect research results. Staff is relieved of the laborious task of handling water bottles, which reduces the risk of ergonomic injuries and allows them to focus more attention on the animals themselves.

Rees Automated Watering Systems are custom designed to each client’s specific needs. Our systems are available in High Velocity Re-circulating or Auto-Flushing designs. Reverse Osmosis (RO), Ultra-Violet (UV) Sterilization, Chlorination and water conditioning are all available. Systems can be constructed to service a specific species or with the flexibility needed to house a variety of species. Our engineers carefully review each project to design the system that best meets the current and future needs of your facility.

A high volume pump sends water through a large capacity UV system and out to all of the animal room corridors via a central feed pipe. This central feed pipe supplies clean water to single-stage Pressure Reducing Panels located in corridors or anterooms. Flow Control valves allow for the adjustment of the rate of flow through the room to the return line and maintain the desired pressure within the room piping.

• Easily scalable - perfect for facilities of any size

• Flexible - can accommodate a variety of species

• Eliminates costly flushing of expensive RO water

• Piping design eliminates dead legs - reducing bacteria and biofilm build-up

Dual-stage Pressure Reducing Panels equipped with a flush solenoid are combined with our output control capabilities to provide automatic flushing. A second drain solenoid is installed at the end of the line. At a pre-scheduled time each day, the system will open both solenoids, flushing all of the potentially stagnant or contaminated water out of the system. Multiple flush schedules can be programmed. Separate regulators for flush pressure and drinking pressure provide appropriate pressure throughout the system.

• Eliminates labor intensive manual processes

• Ensures consistent flushing at the same time and pressure each day

Regardless of which of these systems best fits your needs, our CentronEMS provides you the control and peace of mind needed to provide the animals within your facility the best environment. In addition to monitoring the room temperature, humidity, air pressure, CentronEMS also monitors water pressure and flow, tank level(s), power to pump, UV bulb status, chlorine concentration, and more.

316 Stainless Steel Quick Disconnects allow for easy changing of racks, manifolds and hoses. Optional cage rack flushing and hose flushing stations ensure the entire system is providing clean drinking water.
