That matters most at the water line, which is where a painted or galvanized waterer starts to go first. There is no coating to chip and nothing underneath it to rust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElectric heat and a self regulating thermostat come standard from the factory. The thermostat is what keeps the running cost down, because the heater only draws when the water actually needs it rather than running all winter. High density insulation through the body is what lets a modest heater hold the water open on a cold night, so the two work together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe top cover lifts off by gravity, so cleaning it out is a bucket and a few minutes rather than a job with a wrench.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e3.5 gallons of capacity, 14 inches wide by 22 inches high by 24 3\/4 inches long, rated for 10 Cattle, 15-20 Sheep or goats, 20 Lambs.
