Cleaning your Lubing drinker cups should be a part of your regular chicken coop maintenance routine. Generally, the drinker cups will only need a hose-clean to remove light soiling.
If the surface is looking slightly soiled, then you can add some warm water to the cups and wipe them out with a clean microfibre cloth.
Giving your drinker cups a quick wash each week will prevent the need for a thorough cleanse
From time to time the Lubing cups may need a more thorough clean, requiring you to disassemble the lubing cup
How to thoroughly clean Lubing Cups
Time needed: 10 minutes.
- Remove the Lubing cups from fitting
Unscrew the drinker cups from the Dine A Chook fittings for disassembly
- Detach nipple valve
Using a multi-grip plier, pull out the nipple valve from the top of the lubing cup
- Clean
Soak the pieces in some warm soapy water and then clean each part with a microfibre cloth. You should not need to use any harsh chemical cleaners.
- Reassemble
Click the valves back into place and test to be sure the pin and nipple spins freely. This will ensure smooth operation
