Ritchie WaterMatic 100 Single Waterer

Ritchie WaterMatic 100 Single Waterer

The 18165 WaterMatic 100 Ritchie Single Waterer is a compact, fully insulated livestock waterer designed for easy operation and simple maintenance while providing fresh water on demand with low waste. Its drop-in cover lifts easily for cleaning, and the sloped trough directs water and debris toward the drain for quick cleanup. Moveable drain plugs allow short-term shutoff during cleaning, when pens are empty, or during very cold nights. With a low-capacity, fast refill valve, it helps reduce water waste, and an optional heat package is recommended for freezing conditions.
