Classic Equine EZ Fount Waterer – Portable Auto-Fill for 20 Head

Fresh Water for 20 Horses Without the 100-Gallon Trough

If you're tired of scrubbing oversized stock tanks every weekend or dealing with stagnant water in pastures without permanent plumbing, the Classic Equine EZ Fount Waterer changes the game. This compact 3.8-gallon automatic waterer supports up to 20 head thanks to a high-speed float system that refills as fast as your horses drink—no more rationing water or running hoses twice a day.

Designed for portability and simplicity, it connects to any standard garden hose (rated to 200 PSI) and works beautifully in rotational grazing setups, temporary pens, or summer shows where you can't dig a permanent line. The small reservoir means less surface area for algae and muck—cleaning takes minutes, not hours. Note: This is a warm-weather unit with no insulation or heating element, so plan to drain and store it before freezing temps arrive.

Why Riders Choose the EZ Fount

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I use this waterer during the winter months?

The EZ Fount is designed as a non-insulated, non-heated unit specifically for warm climates or summer use. It should be drained and stored before freezing temperatures arrive to prevent damage. If you need year-round watering, look for a heated model instead.

Q: How does it handle so many horses with such a small tank?

The magic is in the high-speed float—it refills the 3.8-gallon reservoir as quickly as the horses drink, ensuring there's always fresh water available for up to 20 head. You're not relying on stored capacity; you're relying on constant replenishment from your hose line.

Q: Do I need a plumber to install this?

Not at all. This unit is designed for DIY setup and hooks up to any standard garden hose, making it perfect for leased land or temporary setups where you can't dig permanent lines. Just connect, turn on the water, and you're done.

Q: What's the actual maintenance like compared to a traditional trough?

Night and day. The 3.8-gallon capacity means you're scrubbing a bucket-sized basin instead of wrestling with a 100-gallon tank. Less surface area equals less algae buildup and faster turnaround on cleaning days—usually just a quick rinse and wipe.
