It pairs a stainless steel trough with an insulated polyethylene casing and thermostatically controlled heat, and it waters up to 40 horses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heat is not an afterthought. Two heaters mount to the underside of the trough and a 48 watt cable heater protects the supply line, 298W total (2.5A@120V), so the trough stays drinkable rather than skimming over on a cold night. Because the disc thermostat only calls for heat as the water drops toward 45 degrees, the unit is not running up the meter in October.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stainless steel trough is the other reason barns choose the UltraFount over the AutoFount. Stainless does not scratch and hold algae the way poly does, it rinses clean, and it stands up to a horse that leans on things. The access panel opens to the valve, float and heating parts, so a repair does not mean pulling the unit off the wall, and the drain plug and drain pipe empty the trough for regular cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polyethylene carries a 10 year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWaters up to 40 horses at a 24 inch drinking height, 3.1 gallon capacity, 30.5 inches long by 20 inches wide by 29 inches tall.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Classic Equine by Ritchie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44267703828675,"sku":"18730","price":1329.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/1894\/5731\/files\/ultrafount_2_2026_38338aaf-c111-410c-85cd-5a8c660264bf.png?v=1790907390","url":"https:\/\/www.petecosupply.com\/products\/classic-equine-by-ritchie-ultrafount-18730","provider":"PeteCo Supply, LLC.
