I can't remember the brand name, but the ones I have have
that float mechanism. That part was fine, but the heaters went out in less
than one winter. The manufacturer told me it was probably too cold where I
live. My thought was that we have relatively mild winters (only very
occasionally much below freezing), so I'm not sure why they made the heaters if
they could not withstand our winters.
I forgot to mention that waterers
I have in my pasture would probably also work in my barn. They have a
float mechanism (looks like from a toilet float but completely covered) that
cost about $5.00 that bolts through a plastic tub/bucket/whatever plastic you
want to attach it to. It refills itself based on the water level.
This doesn't have any type of heater attached so not sure if it would
work for cold weather spots in winter but works for us <spoiled>
Kelly-4-nians (as our goovenator says).
