In the right conditions there is nothing to plug in, no heater to run and no electric bill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the four hole answer to the WPM10. Four hogs drink at once instead of one, which is what keeps a bigger pen moving at feeding time, and the wider body carries the extra inventory to back it up. The hog flap is what makes it the swine version. For sheep and calves, order the WPM14A instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWPM14 specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacity: 14 gallons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnimals: 200 market hogs or 100 sows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpenings: four insulated flaps, drink opening 7 by 7.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions: 39 inches long, 35 inches wide, 20 inches tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrinking height: 11 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping weight: 74 pounds, ships UPS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow an energy free drinker works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is no heater. Heat energy comes from the ground water entering the drinker between 45 and 56 degrees. Foam insulation between the double walls, rated R-7.50 per inch, holds that heat, and patented baffles isolate the drinking water from the energy storage body under the valve cover. Every drink replenishes the heat that has been lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"border-left:4px solid #b9902a;background:#fdf8e9;padding:16px 18px;margin:0 0 18px;border-radius:4px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:700;color:#8a6a1f;\"\u003eThis waterer is use based\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:0.95em;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eThe Polar Max carries no heater, so every bit of warmth in it arrives with the water. The inventory needs to turn over about twice a day to keep that heat coming, which works out to roughly 5 to 15 animals depending on the model and whether the waterer is sheltered from the wind. The insulation holds heat, it cannot make any.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:10px 0 0;font-size:0.95em;line-height:1.55;\"\u003eCheck your numbers first. A light bunch on a waterer built for a bigger one will ice over whatever the R value says, so with low head counts go heated or add supplemental heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePolar Max features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInsulated flap instead of a ball or float, so animals open it with the same rooting motion they are born with and every flap can be used at once\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlaps sit at an angle, not flat, so ice and contamination shed off instead of building up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble wall construction with a seamless sidewall that cannot leak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFoam insulation rated R-7.50 per inch with no hazardous chlorofluorocarbons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHindered amine light stabilizer for ultraviolet protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealed bottom keeps out moisture and rodents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo drain holes for a fast cleanout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNonsiphoning DuraPride valve, stainless steel bolts and a removable top for easy access to the plumbing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotched flanges for easy anchoring, anchor package model 383344 available\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproved for Grade A installations, optional wing bolts model OF403WB for Grade A inspections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSet it level on a pad with a riser tile of at least 8 inches sealed airtight to the pad, and run the supply line up inside the tile without letting it touch.
