Abstract
Water storage tanks (15) for animal watering troughs serve for reducing the water pressure of a water supply pipe which feeds the watering line to a defined lower watering pressure. In contrast, water of a higher rinsing pressure is required for rinsing the animal watering trough. For this purpose, the water supply pipe has to be connected directly to the watering line via a bypass which bridges the water supply tank (15). To avoid the bypass pipe, the water supply tank (15) is constructed according to the invention in such a way that its regulating device (27) can be retained in a position which does not reduce the water pressure. In this way, water for rinsing the watering line can flow from the water supply pipe with non-reduced pressure through the water storage tank (15), which obviates the need for a bypass pipe.
