Producers count on WaterMaster waterers for their durability and efficiency. Made from a single molded piece of heavy-duty polyethylene, these units handle the pressure of daily use. That makes them great for dairies, pastures and feedlots. They’re designed to drain fast for easy cleaning, saving valuable time. In cold weather, they operate on 75% less energy than concrete waterer alternatives and resist the wear and pitting that make concrete waterers harder to clean.
The WaterMaster 600 is a 6-foot-long (1.82-m) automatic livestock waterer featuring a narrow, deep trough, making it ideal for use in crossovers and alleyways of dairy barns. It has a 24-inch (61 cm) drink height and an optional constant-flow feature (kit sold separately).
