I've got one of those 4 hole energy free waterers. Has four large balls that float up in the holes to hold the heat from the water and from a 16 inch Styrofoam tube that sits vertically in the ground around the pipe. A pipe started leaking underground,so I had to tear it all up and replace all the underground pipe. I'm getting ready to reinstall it and pour a new slab of concrete for it.
Here's the question. I have a 2 hole that I bought at an auction several years ago and was going to install somewhere else,but never got around to it. The 4 hole is 35 gallon,the two hole,I think is about 20. I'm thinking about using the 2 hole instead of the 4. Which one is likely to freeze quicker in real cold weather?
They recommend a minimum of 30 cows on the 4 hole. There's generally 35-40 on it in the winter. I don't know what the recommendation is on the 2 hole. Like I said,the 4 has never been a problem.
On one hand,the 4 holds more water so you'd think it would take longer to cool,but the smaller one would have a quicker exchange or water. I don't think they drink much overnight when it's real cold,so that's the only place I see a problem. I want to build a 3 sided shed over it this time to protect it from the weather,so they won't be able to reach the back holes on the 4 hole anyway. That's the only reason I'm thinking about going to the 2 hole.
