This electrically heated completely stainless steel Ritchie Stallfount #125 allows each horse to have its own dedicated water supply in the stall. The chance of cross contamination between horses is eliminated. The waterer is easy to clean with a quick scrub of a brush and a pop-out of the bottom drain plug. The dirty water can be drained into a bucket for sanitary disposal. The Poly cover is nearly indestructible while smooth corners and edges protect the animals from harm. Water and power can come to the fountain through the back of unit or up from the floor though the two-piece shroud/channel. Some operators install the shrouds snuggly up under the fountain for additional structural support even if the water and power are coming in from the back. The Stallfount is all-welded 304 stainless steel with a full 100% 10 year warranty against leaking.
