  • Patent number: 6619232
    Abstract: A livestock watering system, designed with the user in mind, is disclosed. The present invention is comprised of an insulated removable water reservoir whereby said reservoir provides easy access to all parts of the invention. This facilitates the ease of cleaning and maintenance. Moreover, this insulated design is heated by a heating element that heats the air below the removable reservoir, to prevent freezing. The reservoir automatically refills by the use of a water level control device and is easily drained by pulling a plug, through which a stainless steel eyebolt has been placed. The use of wing nuts and bolts allows for replacement or service of individual components of the invention without the need for tools. Most all parts are preferably made of plastic or stainless steel to prevent rust and corrosion. The main objective of this design is to promote the ease of use and maintenance.
