Description

Three energy-free livestock water fountains and four electrically heated ones were tested over a four-year period. It was found that energy-free water fountains do work in cold prairie winters, but certain critical conditions must be met, including proper design, installation, maintenance and adjustment. The fountains must also be used regularly, and the ground water temperature must be warm enough.
