Horse Waterer opinions?

New Topic

• Tuffy22 Posted : 7/19/2012 1:58:12 PM I'm looking into purchasing a couple automatic horse waterers.  Any strong opinions on what the best options would be?  I want something that will be reliable.

• hunterseat Posted : 7/19/2012 2:32:10 PM My cheap-o solution is get a trough that isn't too big (for ease of cleaning) and set up an automatic valve that a water hose screws into. That's  not good for freezing weather, though. And you have to have a water source handy AND you want to be able to monitor it in case you spring a leak or it jams and the trough goes dry. For the most part i've had good luck with these and they're not but about $10.

• Tuffy22 Posted : 7/19/2012 5:59:04 PM This is what I'm leaning towards:  http://www.nelsonmfg.com/horse-waterers/700/.  I was thinking the 700-10C model would work the best from an installation standpoint.  I could corner-mount them in adjacent stalls to share a waterline.  Anyone else use Nelson?  Just curious how they hold up before I invest.  Thanks.
