2900 Lil Spring Waterer

We've had ours for 12 years and have replaced two valves whose plastic parts broke. We use a light bulb for supplemental heat and have our water line wrapped with electric tape and the water supply is 70" deep. Some below zero days require breaking the ice in the reservoirs. We are at 7000' in SW Colorado...we're praying for global change and warming! We would buy another if we needed one. We have a dozen or so cows and a resident herd of over 100 elk which use the waterer, but they are welcome except when they mash our fences. gary

We had our Lil Spring installed over 3 years ago. Our horses have fresh water 24/7 and it is a breeze to clean...less than a minute for each side! Love it! We did have our first heater malfunction. It was replaced without question by the manufacturer. Very easy to replace. Very happy with it!

We bought one from the manufacturer with the heater package in 2012; it worked fine, looked fabulous and was a hands-down upgrade from the motley collection of waterers we inhereted.  We liked it so much we bought 5 more and had them installed by the local representitive.   This winter (2013-14) has been a disaster.  They have ALL frozen repeatedly and in some cases we have had broken pipes. They are not insulated well enough for WI, nor is the combination of heaters enough for our winters.   The first winter was mild, the unit was in a sunny spot, it worked fine and we were happy with it.  I am sure they would be perfect for a mild climate.
