BIG reasons why Ritchie waters ’em right
Fresh water
Trough and valve combinations are sized to provide as much water as your animals want, yet at the same time, limit the amount that sits in the trough when
they are not drinking. That way, the water is fresh and clean. Ritchie’s high flow valves are available in two different sizes, depending
on the size of the fountain’s trough. Valves are available in different flow capacities to accommodate different supply line pressures.

The best warranty in the industry


Want to know how strongly a company believes in its products? Just look at the warranty and see if it has any teeth in it. At Ritchie, we
provide a superior fountain, so we offer a superior 10 year limited warranty program on all our poly products: five years full, followed
by five years prorated. Steel products carry a 10 year, 100% warranty on stainless troughs against manufacturing defects and corrosion;
one year full and nine years prorated on casing and cover. None of our competition (concrete, poly or steel) offers a warranty this strong.
Totally sealed polyethylene units
You might think we’re taking excessive pride in our workmanship, but we can’t help bragging on the fact our heavy-duty,
impact resistant, polyethylene fountains are totally sealed so moisture can’t get to the insulation. Our poly is thicker than
the competition. In addition, the heavy wall, roto-molded one piece construction employs UV inhibitors for extended life.

Nothing less than 304 stainless


There are cheaper grades of stainless steel out there, but you won’t find them in Ritchie
fountains. Our steel troughs are made of 304 stainless—the ultimate in durability and
corrosion resistance.

Grade A dairy recommendations


You don’t have to search the whole Ritchie product
line for a fountain that meets Grade A dairy
recommendations—they all do!

Smart design keeps things in working order


Our patented water seal design eliminates the need for gaskets that can freeze, crack and tear. No one else
uses this superior sealing technology to keep cold air away from the valve, which is the heart and soul of any
fountain. By protecting our high capacity valves, we’re protecting your investment.

2
Heavy-duty, but not heavy
Compare a Ritchie fountain with the concrete water unit offered by the competition. Our troughs don’t pit, they’re easy to
clean, they’re economical to heat and they don’t compromise the cleanliness of the water. Two people can install a Ritchie
fountain, but you’ll need heavy equipment to install a concrete unit. Ritchie fountains use 75% less energy than concrete.

Long, long life


Many livestock producers only buy a Ritchie fountain once every 30 years or so, but that’s because their original Ritchie fountain has served them faithfully for
all 30 years! Pride in workmanship is still one of the hallmarks of the Ritchie business and we make it easy on you by building fountains you can rely on, day
in and day out. Once you find the right fountain for your operation, you’ll understand why Ritchie products inspire the kind of loyalty that lasts for years.

Superior construction for longer life
A popular choice in feedlots, pastures and dairies across North America, the WaterMaster series
features a heavy-duty one piece polyethylene body that holds up even under the weight of cattle.

in a fraction of the time other fountains take to empty.
Requiring 75% less energy in the winter than
concrete units, the WaterMaster won’t pit
or cause cleaning problems. The

EcoFount
Our newest design, highly energy efficient
We have taken all of the best features of our classic waterers, combined them with customer, distributor
and dealer input, and designed a premium line of automatic waterers—the EcoFount series. The EcoFount 1

waterers. They will provide the same reliability during the most extreme winters as our OmniFount series.
A new feature to Ritchie products is the flip top cover which provides ease in cleaning. The fully insulated
casing will provide excellent protection against the coldest winters.

■ Designed with energy efficiency in mind. The stainless steel trough


is surrounded by extremely durable and fully insulated poly.
■ Patented plastic drink well helps insulate water and keep
thermal cap in place
■ Flip-top cover for easy cleaning
■ Floating thermal caps and patented plastic drink wells
minimize heat loss in winter, keeps water cool and
reduces algae growth in summer
■ Electric heat with adjustable disc thermostat
■ Cable heater provides extra valve and supply line protection
■ Trough is 304 stainless for guaranteed long life

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. In fact, it is so energy efficient, some
power companies offer rebates on the purchase of this fountain. Like all
the poly products, OmniFount’s casing carries a 10 year limited
warranty—100% for the first five years and prorated
for the next five years against manufacturing defects. Omni 3

I have to write and tell you how happy I am with your Omni Fount 2
water fountain. I had it installed last October and it has been the best
investment I have made in a long time. We poured a 7 2 square slab 6 3
thick and used 6 2 thermal tube. Last year I used (2) 100 gallon water
tanks with a 1500w heater in each and my electric bill went up 200.00 a
month during the winter months. I also had to deal with water hose to
fill the second tank and draining it to keep it from freezing, sometimes I
had to haul water in 5 gal pails to fill second tank. Needless to say this
was miserable and cold and wet. Last year I paid 300.00 + electric bills
all winter, this year I have 125.00 bills which is about 25.00 more than
usual. Some of that increase is from engine heaters and heat tape that
OmniFount 2 are necessary in Wisconsin in the winter.
I was up and checking the waterer every morning especially when we had -13 degrees F a couple of mornings. It has
been amazing and Me and my horses love it! I placed it in a fence and built wood fence on both sides and over the
top and it serves both pastures with 3 horses on each side. I couldn t be more pleased with your product! I chose
yours over others because of the stainless steel pan and the heat setup for winter. I definately made the right choice!
I have and will continue to recommend your system to my horse friends that are looking for a trouble free well
designed water fountain.
