The WaterMatic line brings together Ritchie’s most trusted features in a design that’s easy to use and effortless to maintain.
The WaterMatic 300 is perfectly suited for fence-line installations, featuring a dual-trough design. Fully insulated, it keeps water cool through the summer and adds protection during the winter months. An optional heat package is required for freezing temperatures. Maintenance is simple thanks to a lift-off cover and sloped troughs that direct water toward the drain holes for quick cleaning and debris removal. Drain plugs can be repositioned to the valve chamber for temporary shutoff during cleaning, when pens are empty or on extremely cold nights. Its low-capacity design and quick-refill valve reduce waste while ensuring animals always have fresh water available. With a 26-inch (66-cm) drink height, the WaterMatic 300 can serve up to 125 beef cattle or 60 dairy cows.
