Designed for efficiency and durability, EcoFount waterers combine energy-saving performance with easy upkeep. The insulated casing guards against extreme cold, and thermostatically controlled heating elements in the stainless-steel trough keep water ice-free. A quick-flip cover simplifies cleaning so you can spend less time on livestock waterer maintenance and more time caring for your animals.

EcoFount 2 is a double-drink automatic waterer for up to 60 horses or beef cattle. This water is perfect when splitting a fence and for small pens and paddocks.

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.
