When you think about your fondest memories of being a rancher, they probably don’t include sitting or kneeling or worse yet, lying in freezing water repairing frozen water pipes or trying to install heat tape. Or how about those frigid mornings breaking ice so your cows and horses can get to water when you’d rather be in the kitchen having breakfast and an extra cup of coffee.
Or maybe you’re one of those rare individuals that really enjoys hauling water because your water line is frozen solid.
So DadGummit you’ve had enough! So, you head to the local feed and farm supply and get yourself an electric tank heater and everything is gonna be as fine as apple wine. Until you get your next electric bill. That 1500 watt tank heater based on only 8 hours a day can cost you about another $50.00 a month (every month). About $1.66 a day. However if you run it 24 hours a day it can add up to anywhere from $120.00 to $150.00 per month!
Now I’d like you to consider another scenario. Install the AMAZING WALTERS COMBO WATERMASTER ICE PREVENTER.
Our ¾ Vertical Combo WATERMASTER-ICE-PREVENTER is $159.00. Period! No ongoing increasing electric bills. INSTALL, ADJUST, SET IT AND FORGET IT! So, let’s assume that this unit only lasts one year, and it’s only operating for 6 months. That’s about 8.5 cents per day. However this AMAZING WATERMASTER/ICE PREVENTER COMBO historically operates trouble free for 30 to 40 years. So then assuming 6 months per year for 30 years, equals about $10.60 per year. Now divide that by 180 (6mo.) days per year and you’re having a late leisurely breakfast and enjoying that extra cup of coffee for about 5 cents per day.
Seriously I ask you which plan is all around the most sensible and appealing. No matter how dull your pencil gets, our WALTERS SYSTEMS out shines the competition.
