Install a Mirafount Frost-Free Waterer
At 7:14 in
The first thing you should think about when buying property or a farm! WATER!
What happens here
The Mirafount 3390 is a frost-free waterer designed for extreme cold. It is installed on a concrete pad with a buried tube extending approximately 24 inches into the ground to draw geothermal heat. The unit itself is constructed from thick, insulated polymer plastic to retain heat. It features two blue insulated balls that cover the water openings. Cows learn to press these balls down to access water, and once released, the balls create a seal, preventing heat loss and keeping out insects. This non-heated design provides a continuous supply of fresh, unfrozen water, eliminating the need for daily ice breaking. On-off valves are located within the unit, allowing individual waterers to be shut off for maintenance or cleaning. A drain at the bottom facilitates easy cleaning.
Goal: Set up a Mirafount 3390 frost-free waterer, which uses geothermal heat and insulated components to prevent freezing without external power. This unit is integrated with the farm's water lines and rotational grazing system.
