Ritchie WaterMaster Deep 54 #18355

The Ritchie WaterMaster 54 Deep (#18355) takes everything producers love about the standard 54 and adds one key upgrade—a significantly deeper trough for increased water capacity.

Built for high-demand environments like feedlots, dairies, and pasture systems, this 4.5-foot automatic livestock waterer delivers all-around drinking access, helping reduce crowding and allowing more animals to hydrate at once. What sets the Deep 54 apart is its large 54-gallon capacity, giving you over three times the water reserve of the standard model, ideal for operations with low flow supply lines or high peak demand.

Like the rest of the WaterMaster line, it features a heavy-duty, one-piece polyethylene body that stands up to cattle traffic and harsh conditions without cracking or corroding. The fully insulated design helps maintain water temperature while using significantly less energy than traditional concrete waterers, making it a practical option for year-round use.

The trough is engineered for efficiency, with sloped surfaces leading to a large drain for fast, complete cleanout, keeping maintenance quick and water quality high. Inside, Ritchie’s industry-leading fast refill valve ensures consistent water levels while reducing standing water, keeping it fresher for your herd.

Cold weather performance is built in, with a unique water seal that protects the valve from cold air intrusion, along with optional immersion heaters and supply line heat kits for added freeze protection.

With a herd capacity of up to 200 beef cattle or 100 dairy cows, the WaterMaster 54 Deep is the ideal choice when you need more water on hand without stepping up to a larger footprint, delivering reliability, durability, and higher capacity in the same proven 54" platform.
