Steel Automatic
Over the years there have been various materials used for livestock automatic fountains. Traditionally, the most common materials were galvanized steel or painted concrete.
In the mid-80s, a new material, plastic has been introduced on the market. Plastic (polyethylene linear low density) troughs are very difficult and when properly constructed, can withstand the harshest conditions. They will resist the abuse of livestock and changes in temperature extremes from very cold to very hot. The insulation has a higher r value the insulation found in steel and fountains will not need to be replaced or repaired because it is enclosed within the walls of the plastic rather than on the walls as in the steel springs. It depends on the manufacturer design courses. Some manufacturers leave the insulation exposed which leads to waterlogging and the possible deterioration of the insulation. They cut corners to reduce costs in a sprinkler which will not be successful and have a short life. The cliché "You get what you pay for" is especially true with plastic fountains.
= "Target _blank" title = "Ritchie waterers automatic"> In recent years a series of fountains hybrids have emerged and are proving be the most robust, reliable and efficient automatic fountains on the market. These fountains use the best characteristics of steel and plastic. The case, the chassis and lid are heavy, very isolated in plastic, while the heating trough is made of stainless steel 304. This combination allows watering very effective in the harshest conditions and can withstand the harshest of environmental degradation, feedlot. To Winter 2006 / 7 A mid-size 4-FT fountain was controlled at the power consumption in Iowa .* The results were consumption energy of less than $ 30 for the whole winter and it was not adjustable thermostat properly set. This robust new design comes in sizes ranging jets of water that very little water up to 20 head models that are 12 feet long and water to 500 heads.
Any material used are the most important factor is the design and manufacturer. Again, the "you get what you pay for "adage applies. It is important to study the materials characteristics and the design of a fountain before making your purchase.
* The test was conducted in Nevada, Iowa for a period of 4-1/2 months. There were 94 frost days, with periods the cooler to reach -10. The fountain used for testing was a 548 watt model CattleMaster Ritchie 480. Please visit www.ritchiefount.com or horse troughs www.ritchieequine.com for more information.
