About this objectThis is one of two cylinders that fit together forming a fountain. The base cylinder, STMEA:2008-67a, has a trough around its base and a small hole on the side of the cylinder to allow water out. The top cylinder, this item, has a handle on top of it to lift it and it fits over the base cylinder. After the base cylinder is filled with water the second cylinder is placed over it with the water in the trough forming a seal; water flows until a 'vacuum' is produced inside cylinder A, water will then flow only as the chickens drink it.
