Why would you want to try keep the water that clean, I got 6 straw based barns 200 hogs in each with 6 hole waterers with lids on bolted to the floor in the feed area, they should lift the lid to drink from them. When I scrape the concrete they blow bubbles in the resulting pig muck that goes over the edge. They then either go to the feed trough or the waterer after this contaminating one or both.
If the waterer gets full of slop/ corn meal I clean it out then, by hand or between batches it's drained and hosed out. I could make a career out of trying to keep water clean every day all day, but not make any more money. just for fun mine rip the lids off and hide them in the bedding so you have to find whats missing, or bend them so they don't close. Or if they find small stones they drop them in the waterer and shove them under the float housing jamming it up, so they got no water.
Anybody that feeds any number of hogs, that has no sense of humor won't last long at it. The hog will win one or two rounds even if it's in the last 5 minutes you own it going on the truck. Regards Robert

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
