Little Giant Duramate Automatic Waterer

Have used these for years in the paddocks - in the Florida sun. They last for about 4 - 5 years before the sun starts to break down the rim. But at this price that’s a good value. I swapped out for 50 gallon stock tanks for awhile, but those are just a pain in the ass to keep clean and every year there is at least one critter falls in and drowns. If you get these I recommend cutting a drain hole in the bottom for easy cleaning. Don’t use the plug that it comes with . . . Too hard to take out and reinstall. Instead get a rubber freeze plug or expandable wine bottle cork. Makes cleaning a snap. And don’t think putting the drain on the side is a clever idea. For some reason the horses ignore the hose (if they nibble at it, swap it for a braided washing machine one) but they like screwing with a side plug. Criminals!

These are twice as big at least as the others that are nearly the same price. Our turkeys love them our chickens use them too with no problems
