[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 52381, member: 122"] I am also in Minnesota and the last one we put in was a Mira-Fount with the balls. We've had it about 5 years and have never had it freeze, but we did get the electrical heater kit with it. The only problem we've had is sometimes they slop a lot and the ball will freeze shut, but that's usually only when we get the daytime highs below zero. We take the covers off and the balls out in the summer. We also have a Ritchie without the ball covers and they slop way to much around the waterer and ice really builds up around it. After a while they have a hardtime reaching the water because of the ice, so we have to go out with an axe and chop it off. I don't recall ever seeing the trickle kind used up here in the winter, as I'm guessing they may not work. [/QUOTE]
