Description
Description
The Classic Equine by Ritchie UltraFount 1 is the smaller of the two UltraFounts, built for barns of up to 20 horses that still have to get through a real winter. It pairs a stainless steel trough with an insulated polyethylene casing and thermostatically controlled heat.
A heater mounts to the underside of the trough and a 48 watt cable heater protects the supply line, 173W total (1.4A@120V), so the trough stays drinkable on a cold night instead of skimming over. The disc thermostat only calls for heat as the water drops toward 45 degrees, so the unit is not running up the meter through the mild weeks.
The stainless steel trough is the reason most barns step up from the AutoFount 1. Stainless rinses clean, does not scratch and hold algae the way poly does, and it takes the abuse of a horse that leans on things. The access panel opens to the valve, float and heating parts, so service does not mean pulling the unit, and the drain plug and drain pipe empty the trough for regular cleaning.
The polyethylene carries a 10 year warranty.
Waters up to 20 horses at a 24 inch drinking height, 1.5 gallon capacity, 20.5 inches long by 20 inches wide by 29 inches tall.
