Keeping Your Concrete Water Trough Clean

Maintaining clean and hygienic water troughs is essential to the health and well-being of your livestock. Here are some steps on how to keep your concrete water troughs clean and free from contaminants:

  • 1. Regular Cleaning
    Schedule regular cleaning of your concrete water troughs to prevent the build-up of algae, bacteria, and debris. Frequency may vary depending on usage and environmental conditions.
  • 2. Drain and Empty
    Start by draining and emptying the trough completely. Remove any remaining water and debris, which can serve as a breeding ground for contaminants.
  • 3. Scrubbing and Cleaning
     Use a stiff brush and water to scrub the interior of the trough thoroughly. Pay special attention to corners and edges, as these areas are prone to build-up.
  • 4. Chlorine Bleach Disinfectant
    To discourage algae growth and disinfect the trough, add up to two ounces of household chlorine bleach per 50 gallons of water. This solution helps prevent the growth of algae and eliminates harmful bacteria.

  • 5. Dilution Time
     After adding the disinfectant, allow the chemical to become thoroughly diluted in the water. Keep animals away from the trough for at least 30 minutes to ensure that the disinfectant is evenly distributed.
  • 6. Rinse and Refil
    After the disinfectant has had time to work, rinse the trough thoroughly with clean, fresh water. Ensure that no traces of bleach or disinfectant remain in the trough.

Maintaining clean concrete water troughs offers numerous benefits:

Animal Health : Clean troughs promote animal health by providing access to fresh and uncontaminated water, leading to better hydration and overall well-being.

Extended Trough Lifespan : Regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of your concrete water troughs, saving you money on replacements.

Algae Prevention : The use of chlorine bleach helps prevent the growth of algae, ensuring that the water remains clean and palatable to your livestock.

Water Quality : Clean troughs improve water quality, which is essential for animal consumption and digestion.
