The WaterMatic family combines the best features of Ritchie waterers, with easy operation and simple maintenance.
The WaterMatic 150 is ideal for fence-line applications with its compact two-trough design. The waterer is fully insulated to keep the water cool in the summer and to provide added protection during the winter. An optional heat package is required in freezing conditions. The drop-in cover is easy to lift for maintenance and cleaning and the troughs slope towards drain holes for easy cleaning and debris removal. Drain plugs can be moved to the valve chamber opening for short-term trough shutoff during cleaning, when the pen is empty or during excessively cold nights. Its low capacity and quick-refill valve minimize water waste while delivering fresh water on demand. The WaterMatic 150 has an 18-inch (46-cm) drink height and waters up to 40 horses or beef cattle, or up to 100 sheep.
