Pig Water Tank
Looking for a pig water tank that provides your pigs with dependable access to drinking water? A traditional livestock tank or trough can be a good option, but for smaller pig pens, an automatic pen waterer can provide a more compact and convenient solution.
Trojan Specialty Products offers 3-gallon and 4-gallon Pen Waterers designed for use in livestock pens and confinement areas.
Pig Water Tank vs. Automatic Pen Waterer
A traditional pig water tank provides a reservoir of water for animals to drink from. While tanks and troughs can be useful for larger setups, an open water container can take up valuable pen space and may require frequent cleaning and refilling.
An automatic pen waterer provides water directly at the drinking point. As the pig activates the nipple, water flows into the drinking area. When the pig releases it, the water stops, helping conserve water.
For smaller pig pens, a pen waterer can be an excellent alternative to a large open pig water tank.

Choosing a Water Tank or Waterer for Pigs
When choosing a water tank for pigs, consider the number and size of your pigs, available pen space, water supply, and how the water source will be maintained.
For larger groups or applications requiring substantial water storage, a traditional livestock tank may make sense. For smaller groups, show pigs, backyard pigs, and livestock projects, an automatic pen waterer may provide the compact and convenient setup you’re looking for.
