Water supply experiment

I found a cheap source for some water tubes with the metal ball inside. So I hooked up a system to see if it would work, It has to be completely air tight for it to work and with a huge rodent rack that isnt that possible. I was trying to avoid paying $3.99 for those water valves i posted below. Anyone else have a setup that doesnt use water bottles or the valves below?
