We have been supplying La Buvette bowls in Ireland for over 35 years, their cast iron drinker has one of the longest life spans on the market. Some of our first bowl sold are still in use and going strong.
SPARE PARTS
Because of there life span and the quality of the product we have grown a wide range of spare parts to match. Bits get lost over the years, a nut or a plug, do not worry we have it or can get it to keep your drink work away like new.

An easy way to find out what part you might need, go to our website (www.odonovaneng.ie) and click on the drink you have. Each of the La Buvette drinkers has a spec sheet with a part brake down, All you need to do is let us know the part code attached to that part. There is a small collection of spares available online, for other option just call our store on 0217334066.

Maintenance
Like anything that lasts there is a small bit of maintenance to be done each year. Just follow the instruction below to keep your drinkers running for years.
Maintenance Instructions
- Remove cover
2) Slide plastic float out
3) Unclip float wire from black cap
4) Check that there are no blockages in jet
5) Run water through the pipe to ensure there are no blockages in pipe
6) Replace all parts run water to ensure the bowl is filling
An important tip is to turn off the water supply when the drink is not in use and empty the drinking bowl out. This will help stop stagnant water corroding the bowl. “Stagnant water contains bacteria that cause microbiologically influenced corrosion. This relatively unusual form of corrosion results from the interactions of bacteria with various metals and their alloys and can increase the corrosion rate up to 100-times above that in conventional types of corrosion.” (Marjan Suban)
