[QUOTE="Hippie Rancher, post: 457945, member: 4203"] you mean those self contained things? or just a float valve on a regular trough? I use Hudsen valves on one inch pipe - they are really rugged but you have to clean the screens occasionally - a tiny speck will make them leak - slowly which is much better than a regular float breaking but still kind of irritating. for small numbers with a good size trough even those cheapy box valves that are meant for hooking to a garden hose work good, but use a pipe adapter and steel above ground anyway. I live in a pretty warm climate so your mileage may vary in terms of frozen pipes. [/QUOTE]
