Why Ritchie Livestock Waterers VS. The Other Brands?

• Ritchie Watering Troughs are designed with the most reliable valves in the industry to provide as much water as your animals need yet at the same time limit the amount of water that sits in the trough, this helps prevent algae growth and water waste.
• Ritchie Watering Troughs have the best warranty in the industry.  Ritchie's warranty is a 5 year full replacement warranty with an additional 5 year limited warranty.  On the Stainless Steel models it is a 10 year 100% replacement warranty.
• Ritchie Watering Troughs are completely sealed on the inside.  The polyis filled with foam insulation then spin welded closed to prevent moisture from getting into the insulation and breaking it down.  This means a long lasting product for you.
• Ritchie Watering Troughs that contain any metal are made out of 304 Stainless Steel to prevent rust and corrosion.
• Ritchie Watering Troughs are built with your animals safety in mind.  All corners and edges are hemmed or have smooth curved surfaces to prevent scrapes and cuts keeping your livestock safe.
• Ritchie Watering Troughs are designed for limited maintenance.  They use a water seal rather than gaskets that freeze, crack and tear.
• Ritchie Watering Troughs all meet the grade A dairy recommendations.
