Time - How much time do you spend each day filling stock tanks, buckets, or other items with water. Install a Ritchie Automatic Waterer and spend your time otherwise. Heating - During the winter, an average stock tank costs an average of $100 a month to heat. A Ritchie Automatic Waterer, that can water up to 40 head, can be heated for an average of $30 for the entire winter. By the end of the winter, your waterer has practically paid for itself. See the estimated energy cost per unit by clicking here.

Cleaning - For stock tank owners, how difficult is it to dump the tank to clean. No dumping is required to clean a Ritchie. Simply remove a drain plug, scrub the trough, and replace the drain plug. Minimal water is wasted and the unit will refill on its own. No need to wait as it refills.
