OmniFount combines the strength of stainless steel with the insulation of durable poly construction to deliver a top-performing heated livestock waterer. The OmniFount 2 Special features smooth, rounded edges for animal safety and a fully insulated casing for energy efficiency. Thermostatically controlled heat elements are attached to the underside of the stainless-steel trough to ensure frost-free service even under the most severe winter conditions.

The OmniFount 2 Special is specifically designed for small animals with its low 11-inch (28-cm) drink height. Its quick-refill valve provides fresh water for up to 80 calves or 100 sheep or goats.

The best warranty in the business

We stand behind what we build. That’s why our polyethylene (poly) waterers are backed by a 10-year limited warranty* and our stainless-steel troughs are covered by a 10-year, 100% warranty against manufacturing defects and corrosion.

It’s simple: Reliable products should come with a warranty to match.

*Excludes Genesis product line (1-year warranty)

We’ve installed six Ritchie waterers over the last three years. Three of them are inside our lambing barn, which makes watering 50 ewes really easy. We also replaced three old competitor waterers outside with Ritchie waterers. The Ritchies are trouble free and easy to keep clean. And we did not have a frozen waterer this winter. Would highly recommend them for any livestock use.
