I can tell you this much, the Ritchie fountains are darn good products. We had one that was installed in the 1960's that finally rusted out a couple of years back. Dad replaced it with another Ritchie, this time with the stainless steel trough. There are two more on the farm that were put in sometime in the 70's that are just fine yet, and another newer one that is plastic with stainless trough. Our Ritchie fountains very seldom ever freeze up - and only when it is well below zero and we have a lot of cattle drinking from them and the well can't keep up. If we had better water pressure I'm willing to be there would never be a freeze up. Used to have one of those non-heated black plastic fountains with the balls the cattle push down - it would freeze when it got to about 10 degrees and then was useless for the rest of the winter. Just my experience...
