Ritchie EcoFount Thermal Cap 14412 – Durable Plastic Float Cover for Livestock Waterers, Retains Heat in Winter, Keeps Water Cooler in Summer, Fits All EcoFount Units, 10 5/16" Diameter

The Ritchie EcoFount Thermal Cap (Part #14412) is a simple yet highly effective solution for improving water temperature control in your livestock watering system. Floating directly on top of the water, the cap helps retain valuable heat during freezing winter months, reducing energy use and protecting your animals’ access to fresh, ice-free water. In summer, the same design helps maintain cooler water, encouraging more consistent hydration. Constructed from tough, long-lasting plastic, this cap is built to withstand daily use and harsh outdoor conditions while its smooth, tapered edges provide safe and easy drinking access for livestock. Measuring 10 5/16 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick, it is compatible with all Ritchie EcoFount units and was also used in older Commander series metal models. Now updated in a bright yellow color for added visibility, the EcoFount Thermal Cap combines durability, efficiency, and practicality—making it a smart investment for year-round water management.
