The WaterMatic family combines the best features of Ritchie waterers with the easiest operation and simple maintenance. And with its compact two-trough design, the WaterMatic 150 is ideal for fence-line applications. It’s also fully insulated to help keep water cool in the summer and provide added protection during the winter.
The drop-in cover is easy to lift for maintenance and cleaning, while the trough slopes toward the drain holes for easy cleaning and debris removal. Drain plugs 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 allows for fresh water on demand with less water waste. An optional heat package is required for freezing conditions.
