*The biggest weakness of metal water troughs is that they are susceptible to rust and corrosion. This constant problem eats away at the physical strength and durability of metal water troughs. It also can taint the water with zinc and other minerals which may cause sickness in your livestock.
However, zinc does not corrode on every galvanized water trough. The amount of corrosion is affected by the conditions of the water. Some factors that affect zinc corrosion are Chloride levels, PH Levels, and water hardness.
ACCESSORIES
- Legs (1 set = 4 pieces)
- Additional float valve e.g., for warmed-up water from the milk cooling system (not possible if circuit pipe is installed).
- Protection plate to cover connections at the valve side prevents biting into frost protection heating cables and insulation.
