This Makes my Life Easier: Water Temperature Valve

Posted on September 18, 2020 in

It is critical to have water at the right temperature to clean equipment, mix milk or colostrum replacers, and feed calves. To assist with this task, Mark Buning of Buning Dairy LLC installed a water temperature valve on his water system.

It is critical to have water at the right temperature to clean equipment, mix milk or colostrum replacers, and feed calves.  To assist with this task, Mark Buning at Buning Dairy LLC in Falmouth, Michigan, installed a temperature valve on his water system. 

“It allows you to just set it and forget it,” Buning said.  “We have a setting we turn it to for washing for higher heat and a setting we turn it to for feeding.  The only time we have to adjust it is going from summer to winter to account for colder weather.”

The system also has a flow meter to measure gallons of water.
