The WaterMatic series combines Ritchie’s proven performance with a user-friendly design that makes operation and upkeep simple.
The only automatic waterer on the market specifically designed for sheep and goats, The WaterMatic 150S features a domed cover to eliminate standing and climbing. This two-trough waterer 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. Its trough slopes towards the 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. Low capacity and quick-refill valve minimizes water waste and delivers fresh water on demand. An optional heat package is required in freezing conditions.
