"This is my honest opinion. I am very pleased with your product and would like to thank you for providing such an easy product to use. Clean out the bowl occasionally and that's all! How much easier could it get. The only problem I had was I misunderstood the instructions. I was in a time pinch during the install so I skipped the step about the heat sink underneath the riser pipe. My line did freeze slightly once this past winter when it was below zero for almost a week straight. I used a heat tape to thaw out the poly line and put a few inches of insulation on the concrete,inside the bottom of the waterer, and in a matter of minutes it thawed out. Even though it got -15 for several days, it never froze up again. Despite the problem (which was my own fault) I am convinced that this is the best watering product on the market. I researched for over a year before I bought an automatic waterer and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Your customer service department was very helpful when I had questions or problems. I especially like how easy it is to clean out the bowl and that the animals always have cold water. The low energy heater provided water for my horses even when it was -15 degrees fahrenheit. It is durable and tough and still looks nice after a year of extreme heat, cold and horses abuse. There is no learning curve for the horses and nothing for them to break or chew on."

"I highly recommend the Nelson Waters because they have held up to the abuse our Bull Elk dish out during the Rut."

"I have owned and used my Nelson waterer since 1987. It is the best waterer I have ever had. Reliable in the hottest or coldest of weather.

"Our horses love their Nelson Waterer almost as much as their feed buckets. The water is always fresh and always there! The waterers are so carefree we have more time and less worries. We have eight mares and five foals to tend to and I could not ask for a simpler solution. It's hard to imagine going to back to buckets. Now the tub is used only as a dog bath."

"Ten years ago I had your horse waterers installed in my barn. Since that time, I continue to be very favorably impressed with the superior quality of the product. The fact is they are easy to clean, have no sharp edges, are extremely reliable and require very low maintenance. They are well worth the price, and I highly recommend them."

I have owned horses for all my life. I have all sorts of experience watering horses. From bathtubs to buckets to those little metal auto waterers, I've done it all. I have thawed hoses, burned holes in buckets with bucket heaters and even had my horses get shocked from the bucket heaters.

I had been to John Lyons Expo and heard about the Nelson Waterers. I checked them out at a horse expo and liked what I saw. Until that time I was against automatic waterers.

I feared that my horses wouldn't know how to drink out of them, would be afraid of them and I wouldn't be able to monitor how much water they drank. Well these waterers even have consumption indicators to monitor how much water your horse is drinking.

When we went to build our new barn a little over two years ago I immediately demanded Nelson Waterers. No other waterer would do for me. The care and ease of working with these systems is fantastic. And my fear of my horses being afraid or not knowing how to use the waterers was never an issue. When I put my horses in the stalls they went right to the waterers and started drinking immediately. I have never had one problem with the waterers. Even funnier is how the foals think it is a toy. They love to drink out of the water and always seem to be playing in it. I have both stall and pasture waterers.

Here are some of the things I love about the Nelson Waterers:

Even in our coldest weather in PA, the waterers have never frozen up. They are very easy to clean. Just take a dish out, empty and wipe clean. Because it is stainless steal it is very easy to clean and effective to disinfect (unlike plastic buckets). I have more free time to spend with my horses rather than fooling with water buckets. They are tough. I have destructive horses banging into them and they don't break, fall apart or get damaged. They are simple to use and easy to teach others how to use.

Since having Nelson Waterers I would never build another barn without making sure that it has Nelson Waterers!! If you try them you will agree with me. No other substitutes will do.

Just thought you would enjoy seeing these two pictures taken earlier today. For two days the waterer was completely surrounded in a snow bank. The horses had knocked the top layer of snow off so they could get to the water. The waterer never missed a beat ... not frozen and working like always. I dug out enough on one side to get you these pictures. Just thought you'd like to know, if you put them in right they just are bullet-proof.

"We have ONLY Nelson Automatic Waterers here...25 to be exact. We love them. Great service as well".

We have had two of your units since shortly after we began our alpaca farm two years ago. I cannot imagine anyone not having them. Other than two 100+ pound Anatolians slobbering in the bowls they have been perfect. When we build our third barn we will give you a call. Keep us on your mailing list and keep up the good work.

"I purchased 2 of your waterers for my alpacas last October, and today (with more animals on the way) I placed an order for 2 more. It is a pleasure not to have to haul buckets (escpecially in the winter) and to know that their water supply is always available and fresh. I run their water supply through my house water filter, so they are getting the same water to drink that we get. In my next life I want to be one of MY alpacas. Thank you for an excellent product that makes my life easier."
