Description

The PETE #500 is the all purpose fountain, 70 gallons in a short wide 55 by 37 inch body for up to 500 head. The width puts more animals at the water without stretching down a fence line.

Petersen pours these in 5,000 PSI black painted concrete reinforced with 3/8 inch welded rebar cages. The black finish picks up solar heat and the body carries up to 2 inches of extruded polystyrene insulation, which is what keeps the winter bill down. The concrete is air entrained and built for expansion and contraction, so freeze and thaw is not working the unit apart. The weight means no bolting down.

Heat is 1,200 watt, or you can run it Free-Flo with a thermostatically controlled trickle valve instead of an element. A no heat version is available on request.

55 in L x 37 in W x 26 in H, 2150 pounds, 70 gallons.

Capacity for a Barn, Not a Paddock

The PETE #500 runs 55 inches long and holds 70 gallons for 500 cattle. At this size the valve is cycling most of the day, so the float and seat do the real work, and the 1,200 watt element keeps up with the volume.
