The JUG 4 hole automatic waterer is ideal for larger herds in feedlots, multiple pens or in the open. The JUG waterers act like a thermos with their super insulated polyethylene casing and is reliable in both cold and warm climates. (For severe climates, use the additional heat option).
The JUG waterer uses thermal energy to keep a warmer drinking environment which will allow for energy-free or energy efficient automatic watering. For Energy Free Models in marginal climates, you need enough animals drinking to keep water in the tank warm enough to provide heat energy (At least 15 head per drinking bowl.) Otherwise a small 65-watt heater may be added to make the JUG Energy Efficient. In either case it is primarily thermal energy, not electrical energy keeping the water fresh and at a constant temperature, summer and winter. The average electrical cost for a JUG Livestock Waterer is $10.00 for the Entire Season.
