Little Giant DuraMate Automatic Waterer, Green 16QT

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Living in the north country we get very cold winters, but also hot summers. We chose this on a whim, not for the typical equestrian use, but for our chicken flock in the heat of the summer. This was simple to install, taking my husband maybe seconds to screw it to the coop and hook up to the hose. It is a “turn key” design and we loved the natural green color as we are fans of earth tones. Being that we used it for our flock instead, he attached it to the bottom of our coop below the nesting box and we were glad for it! It was just out of reach of any dusting, and with the recent update in our amount of chickens we have, it was a god send. We had a very hot summer this year with lots of high 80s/real feel 90s and with the other waterers becoming hot very quickly, this one kept the constant cold water flowing as the hens and our rooster drank from it. It was easy to turn off at night as well since our chickens get locked up to roost at night. Being that it wasn't the typical use of this product, we thoroughly enjoyed the benefits of it and it will be our go to for hot summers well into fall and even spring. I have no doubt the durable plastic will last this flock and beyond.

This waterer was easy to install and works as described. My horses have no issue using it and it has made providing fresh and clean water a breeze!
