[QUOTE="Sugar Creek, post: 253448, member: 1383"] I have a pond that feeds two concrete stock tanks, controled by floats that rise with water level and shut off water coming out of 3/4 inch galvanized standpipe. Over the years I have had some trouble with ice pushing up and breaking stem that holds float. This summer the cattle have learned that if they keep pushing - float, stem, or brass coupling will break and they get lots of cool water running everywhere. Repairing this is getting costly and the pond is getting low, never filled up last winter. It is terribly hot here like everywhere else it seems. Any ideas on a better float system. No matter how close I watch the tanks I still lose lots of water by the time I get it fixed. [/QUOTE]
