Winter will be here before we know it.  Prepare for the cold with our energy efficient or energy free Thrifty King CT2 and CT4.  Starting October 1st, 2014, take advantage of our fantastic limited time rebate offer.

Thrifty King insulates the water so well that you can make it through the winter without supplying heat in many areas, and it takes little electricity in those areas where the winter is severe. The water is completely surrounded by fully insulated polyethylene plastic – even the floats are insulated. In summer, the water is cooler and covered water protects against mosquitoes breeding, lowering the risk of spreading West Nile Virus. The covered water also keeps the water cooler and prevent water evaporation during dry months.

Thrifty King Features

• ThermalEqualizer design in patented drinking well eliminates cold spots in water storage
• Elliptical closures tip easily so animals can drink without resistance, unlike round balls which take a great deal of pressure
• Easy access for easy maintenance
• High capacity valve, protected from cold by patented drink well
• Finger-lift service cover; No tools, springs, or clips
• Optional electric heat, immersion heater and supply line heat cable
• Covers water so mosquitoes don’t have a place to breed
• Optional heat available 
• 10 year warranty

Cleaning The cold weather often prevents a cleaning so a good cleaning may be necessary.  Elbow grease is usually all that is needed however should you prefer to use a cleaning product, animal safe cleaners can be used without worry of damaging the waterer.  Please contact your local Veterinarian for their recommendations on animal safe cleaners. Ritchie recommends cleaning your waterer every 3 days or as needed to prevent algae formation or mosquito larvae development. Maintenance cleaning should only take a couple minutes as shown in our video below.

Heaters   The heaters are an optional feature with our WaterMatic series.  If you are in an area that utilizes the optional heat, now is the time to remove the immersion heater.  This will help to elongate the life of the heater and prevent deposits from accumulating. Once the heater is removed, wipe it off and store in a dry place until fall. Removing the heater is an easy step to ensure you have a functioning heater in the fall.  Follow the video below for instructions.

After a long brutal winter, warmer temperatures seem to be here to stay. General cleaning and maintenance to your Ritchie OmniFount waterer will keep the waterer functioning for your animals throughout the summer.
