After I answered Valerie's message, I Googled Nelson Waterers because I was curious about how the price compared the non-electric freeze free waterer we use. I still haven't found the price, but I did stumble on this comment in a thread on horseforum.com. "There were a few small installation problems in the beginning, but they were worked out easily enough, and you absolutely can adjust the amount of water you want in the bowl. The lids require a human with opposable things to get off--no way a horse could do it. The heater seems to work pretty well, but when it's super cold and windy the outside waterer has had a thin layer of ice develop on it (nothing the horses couldn't easily break with their muzzles, but we only have mild to moderate winters here, too). The waterers have not broken down and require no maintenance, except for when *the builders who put them in wired them wrong and caused our horses to get a shock every time they got a drink*....but you can't blame that on Nelson." -- Steve It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.-- Aristotle 384-322 BC Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw FH_L Shirts: http://tinyurl.com/8yky94l
