[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 927060, member: 17767"] I have the Ritchie Cattle Fountain #3E. It is 120 volt with Fenwal Thermostat. It has a SS trough with heating elements spot welded to the underside. The water supply line is provided with a cable heater. It has not frozen in the 2 winters I have had it in use. In fact, the whole system has worked flawlessly. I did the installation myself. I will say this, it needs to be installed carefully. If you are not careful with the installation, I think you could easily have problems. I looked at what is on the market before I made my choice. I think this series of fountain is ideal in colder areas (say from Kentucky north). Get your concrete platform right so it supports the fountain well which is fastened down by anchor bolts in the concrete. I went a step further and grouted over the anchor bolts with concrete which also provides a rim of support for the fountain. The cattle will stand at the water fountain and rub on the edges so it needs to with stand some force! It is easy to clean and the water stays fresh as was stated above. [/QUOTE]
