Is this all I would need to set up an auto watering system 4tub rack?

Same here on the filters, I soak them in CLR for a bit then wash and blow out with compressed air.

Just something to think about, and if you do use the filter, to watch for.

Do you use vanilla in your water? I had to quit using vanilla as it plugged up my valves. just my experience.

What's the vanilla for??

some people think vanilla in their water makes em less stanky.

If your water is getting so stinky you need to mask the smell with vanilla, I think you need to change something about your setup....IMHO

You can get those supplies direct from the distributor at edstrom.com and agselect.com (I think AgSelect is the one that carries the Veriflow nozzles, which is the type I recommend).

the rats less stinky, not the water lol

no idea if this is true!

interesting....

I didn't use the L fitting, and just used square kitty litter buckets with the quick connect kit. I did end up taking out the filter because I had problems with it slowing/stopping water flow. I have two racks set up, each with their own watering system (instead of sharing the same). One has the mounting clips, the other doesn't. I found the mounting clips more trouble than they're worth. Only thing I use them for now is a couple of my girls like to play with the lickers. I can use the mounting clip to hold the lickers in place and stop them from playing with it as much. A couple times those rotten girls have filled their tubs with about an inch of water from messing with the lickers. (I'm about ready to cull them except they have good sized litters.)
