Description
Description
The Ritchie WaterMatic 150S is a specialized automatic waterer designed specifically for goats, sheep, miniature livestock, calves, and other smaller animals that require a lower drinking height and safer access to water. Unlike standard livestock waterers, the 150S features a domed cover design that helps eliminate standing and climbing, reducing contamination and helping protect the unit from unnecessary wear.
Built as part of the Ritchie WaterMatic family, the 150S combines simple maintenance, low water waste, and dependable year-round performance in a compact two-trough design. The 13-inch drinking height makes it easy for smaller animals to access water comfortably, while the fully insulated casing helps maintain cooler water in summer and provides added winter protection.
The unit features Ritchie’s drop-in cover system for easy cleaning and maintenance, along with sloped trough surfaces and drain openings for quick debris removal. A fast refill valve system keeps fresh water available on demand while minimizing standing water and waste. Optional immersion heaters and self-regulating heat cables can be added for freezing conditions.
