Manufacturer introduces new livestock fountain

Ritchie Industries, Conrad, Iowa, a manufacturer of automatic watering fountains, introduced the Omni 1 livestock fountain.

It becomes the fourth member of the OmniFount product family featuring a blend of stainless steel and polyethylene construction.

The Omni 1 can water up to 20 head of horses or cattle. It features a large access panel and offers overall heat coverage with heat elements located under the trough and around the water line. The trough carries a 10-year, 100 percent warranty against manufacturing defects or corrosion.

The new Omni 1 uses less wattage (125 watts) than the comparable 1AC (250 watts). All OmniFounts (Omni 1, Omni 2, Omni 3 and Omni 5) carry a newly designed drop-in valve cover. The new design allows for efficient water run-off over the waterseal. The result is a product that reduces dirt and other grime accumulation in the water seal groove.

The body of the OmniFount is made from Ritchie's heavy-duty polyethylene construction. The fountain is insulated with highly energy-efficient polyurethane foam, providing an R-factor of 7 per inch.

The OmniFount's polyethylene casing carries a 10-year limited warranty (100 percent for the first five years and prorated for the next five years against manufacturing defects).

The OmniFount series, introduced in 1996, is well suited for livestock, dairy and horse operations. Since 1921, Ritchie has manufactured durable, dependable automatic fountains for many species of livestock, including beef, dairy, equine, swine, sheep and goats.
