Omni 1 Heated Ritchie Waterer

Omni 1 Heated Ritchie Waterer

The Omni 1 Heated Ritchie Waterer is a compact, all-season livestock fountain built to keep water flowing when everything else is freezing solid. Combining the durability of stainless steel with the efficiency of an insulated poly body, this unit delivers reliable, frost-free hydration for up to 20 head without constant babysitting. Its thermostatically controlled heating system sits directly beneath the trough, ensuring consistent performance even in brutal winter conditions—because hauling buckets in subzero weather gets old fast. Designed with smooth edges for animal safety and easy-access maintenance, this is a set-it-and-forget-it solution for year-round watering.
