The Ritchie GC-2 Ball Enclosure (Part #18674) is a direct replacement designed specifically for the Ritchie Genesis GC-2 automatic waterer. Each GC-2 unit uses two elliptical ball enclosures to cover the drinking openings, helping protect water from the elements while allowing easy access for livestock.
These ball enclosures play a key role in maintaining water temperature and cleanliness. By covering the water surface, they help keep water cooler in the summer, reduce evaporation, and retain warmth in colder conditions. The lightweight, tip-up design allows animals to drink easily while keeping debris, dirt, and insects out of the trough.
If your existing balls are cracked, warped, or no longer sealing properly, replacing them can improve water quality and overall performance of your waterer.
This part is exclusive to the Ritchie Genesis GC-2 and is not interchangeable with Thrifty King models or other Ritchie waterers.
