Description

New from Ritchie: the redesigned Ribbed Elliptical closure for Thrifty King units.

The ribbed feature lets water drain back into the trough, preventing ice buildup around the edges. No longer insulated the new ribbed closures now feature a thicker wall (.25 heavier) plastic.

The Elliptical closure helps maintain warmer water temperatures inside the trough during winter. During the warmer months, the closures help to prevent water loss due to evaporation while keeping the water cooler and cleaner.

    Very easy. The trough is designed so all surfaces slope to a large drain, allowing it to empty quickly and clean out faster than traditional waterers. It also includes a finger-lift service cover, so you can access internal components without tools.
