[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 433934, member: 3162"] What I finally did at Dad's old place involved 3 valves and hard pvc. I extended the PVC over the top, wired it to the fence, and it had cheap ball valves on the bottom ends in each tank. A third fill valve was on top with a hose connection barb, female. I'd fill the pipe after the tanks were full. I would then reach down in the water and close both ball valves, and finally, the fill valve. Then re-open the ball valves down in the tank. The tanks stayed equal level. One was huge with a lot of volume and one was small. You had to refill the big tank before the water level went below the valves in the tanks. If not, you'd have to repeat the process of filling the pipe again. You never had to fill the little tank out in the pens again. [/QUOTE]
