Farmers and ranchers from coast to coast trust the WaterMaster series to keep herds hydrated year-round. The rugged, one-piece polyethylene body stands up to hooves, while the sloped trough and large drain make cleaning a quick task. WaterMaster units are also energy savers — using about 75% less power in winter than concrete waterers — and they won’t pit or hold grime, keeping maintenance simple.
The WaterMaster 1200 is a 12-foot-long (3.65-m) automatic livestock waterer featuring a narrow, deep trough with a 24-inch (61-cm) drink height, making it ideal for use in crossovers and alleyways of dairy barns. An optional kit for a constant-flow feature is sold separately.
