Frequently Asked Questions

How many animals can the Omni 2 support?

The Omni 2 is designed for up to 40 beef cattle or horses (20 dairy cows), making it ideal for small to mid-size groups.

Will the Omni 2 freeze in winter?

With proper installation and with running electricity and heating elements, No. It uses a thermostatically controlled heating system and cable heater to keep water and supply lines from freezing, even in harsh conditions.

Proper installation is key. As with anything exposed to extreme winter conditions, if the electricity goes out or heaters are no longer working, the unit can freeze.

What makes the Omni 2 different from the Omni 1?

The Omni 2 offers greater herd capacity and a larger trough, making it better suited for operations with more animals or higher water demand.

Is the Omni 2 energy efficient?

Yes. It uses high-density polyurethane foam insulation (R-value per inch) to retain heat and reduce energy use.

How easy is it to clean and maintain?

The unit includes a large access panel and simple finger lift service to access the valve and float. The stainless steel trough allows quick cleaning and easy service access.

Love my heated watered!

I love my Ritchie Omni 2! This winter in Northern MN has been incredibly cold with temps in the -40°F! This heated watered supplies 4 horses with all the perfectly warmed fresh water they need. They all took to drinking out of the new water tank that day or the next. Even my 16yo mare took to drinking from the waterer within couple days. I recommend this waterer. It gives me such a sense of security knowing I don’t have to haul water when it’s in the negative temps.

Great little company

Exactly what we ordered at the best price we could find. An issue with shipping or I would have rated Excellent. Once the shipping issue was identified Pete Supply Co took care of it immediately. Appreciated the "thank-you" card :)

GREAT!

Shopping was easy. Expedient service was greatly appreciated. Seems to be extremely well made. Warranty is great. Our Winters here in MD do not usually get extremely cold and stay there. This product should hold up well without any problems. Found your website by chance, thanks for the great service. We probably will need another within the near future and will purchase it from your company. THANK YOU.
