Horse Hydrator Two-Stage Water Filtration System for Horses
The Horse Hydrator is a two-stage water filtration system designed specifically for horses to help improve water taste, reduce odors, and support consistent hydration. It attaches directly to a standard garden hose to reduce foul tastes and odors while filtering chlorine, iron, hydrogen sulfide, algae, fungi, and select heavy metals. By improving water palatability, the Horse Hydrator helps encourage consistent water intake at home, during travel, and at competitions.
Even a small decrease in water intake can have a measurable impact on performance. A 2% reduction in water intake may result in up to a 15% decrease in performance. Improving water taste and odor can help support proper hydration so horses can perform at their best.
Key Features & Benefits
- Encourages consistent water intake by reducing foul tastes and odors
- Helps support hydration for “picky drinkers” and during travel, training, and competition
- Reduces chlorine, soluble heavy metals, iron, hydrogen sulfide, algae, and fungi
- May help reduce dehydration-related stress and performance decline
- Compact 8-inch design connects to standard 3/4-inch garden hoses
- Two-stage filtration using KDF-55 and activated coconut carbon
- Lasts up to 2,000 gallons or approximately 4–6 months
- For use with cold water only
Directions for Use
Attach the Horse Hydrator directly to a standard 3/4-inch garden hose. Use with cold water only. Replace the filter after approximately 4–6 months of use or once up to 2,000 gallons have been filtered, depending on source water quality.
How the Filtration Process Works
-
KDF-55 Filtration Media (Kinetic Degradation Fluxion): Uses a high-purity copper-zinc alloy to reduce chlorine, soluble heavy metals (including lead, mercury, and chromium), iron, hydrogen sulfide, algae, fungi, and bacteria through oxidation-reduction reactions.
-
Eco-friendly Activated Coconut Carbon Filtration: Further improves water quality by trapping contaminants within microscopic pores, helping eliminate unpleasant tastes and odors for cleaner, clearer, more palatable water.
Hydration & Performance Support
Horses often reduce water intake when exposed to unfamiliar tastes or odors, especially during travel. Even minor dehydration may result in a 10–20% decrease in performance. By improving water quality and palatability, the Horse Hydrator helps support hydration and may reduce risks associated with dehydration, including poor recovery and reduced performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What contaminants does the Horse Hydrator reduce?
The Horse Hydrator helps reduce chlorine, soluble heavy metals (such as lead, mercury, and chromium), iron, hydrogen sulfide, algae, fungi, and unpleasant tastes and odors.
How long does the filter last?
The filter lasts for up to 2,000 gallons of water or approximately 4–6 months, depending on water quality and usage.
How do I know when the filter needs to be replaced?
Over time, the filter becomes less effective at reducing tastes, odors, and contaminants. A noticeable decline in water quality or palatability may indicate it is time to replace the filter.
Is this filter easy to install?
Yes. The Horse Hydrator easily attaches to a standard 3/4-inch garden hose and requires no tools for installation.
Is this filter suitable for travel and competitions?
Yes. The compact design makes it easy to use at home, shows, events, and while traveling, helping horses adjust to unfamiliar water sources.
Can this help horses drink more water?
Yes. By reducing unfamiliar tastes and odors, the Horse Hydrator helps make water more appealing, which may encourage increased and more consistent water intake.
