AutoFount waterers offer automatic water access for up to 40 horses. The quick-refill function means less waiting for water and better hydration for all your animals.

The hinged cover allows easy access to the fully insulated chamber, while the heavy-duty polyethylene construction and worry-free float system ensure years of trouble-free service. And it’s all backed by Ritchie’s 10-year warranty.

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.
