The WaterMatic family combines the best features of Ritchie waterers, with the easiest operation and simple maintenance. The WaterMatic 100 is a small compact design that is fully insulated to keep the water cool in the summer and provides added protection during the winter. The drop-in cover is easy to lift for maintenance and cleaning. Trough slopes toward the drain hole for easy cleaning and debris removal. Drain plug can be moved to the valve chamber opening for short-term trough shut-off during cleaning, when the pen is empty or during excessively cold nights. Its low capacity and quick-refill valve allow for low water waste and fresh water on demand. Optional heat package is required in freezing conditions.
