Challenger livestock fountain
CONRAD, IA - The new, 1986,
Challenger™ Livestock Fountain
from Ritchie Industries, Inc.
redefines both energy efficiency
and watering equipment
durability, according to George
Stoneback, advertising manager,
Ritchie Livestock Fountains.
“In-house research shows it’s
about 80 percent more energy
efficient than similar Ritchie
models with conventional water
troughs instead of water wells,”
says Stoneback. “Each of two deep
water wells dips into a 10-plus
gallon trough of warmed water. ’ ’
A floating Thermal Cap
physically blocks most contact
between warmed water and colder
outside air. A gentle 6-ounces of
pressure moves the cover for
cattle to drink. If necessary, the

Thermal Cap can be easily lifted
out.
Some 2 1 4-inches of insulation in
the casing and on the Thermal Cap
help*msure against freeze ups and
dramatically reduce heating costs.
A small amount of electricity used
in the water wells further protects
against freeze ups.
The Challenger is heated with
two 80-watt immersion heaters and
one 36-watt supply line cable
heater. These heaters can be
turned off except during extreme,
continued winter weather.
“Thanks to careful design
consideration, the Challenger is
priced lower in cost than most
‘energy-free’ watering equip
ment,” says Peterson.
The Challenger’s all stainless
steel construction guarantees long-
iSli
life in spite of livestock abuse.
Stainless steel virtually doesn’t
rust or corrode in the presence of
water, mud, manure and acids
typically found around livestock
operations. Corners are protected
frojn on-going rubbing of livestock
with durable 8-inch protectors.
Waterflow capacity is about 15
gallons per minute. A glowing red
indicator identifies times when
heat is on and accommodates
proper thermostate adjustment.
The fountain itself is 36%-inches
long, 20-inches wide and 23-inches
tall. It waters 40 or more head of
cattle.
The Challenger can easily
replace existing cattle fountains,
according to Peterson. “It is easy
for Ritchie dealers to make this
exchange because it doesn’t
require any special water supply
tile,” he says.
