Frostfree Nosepumps Ltd.

Description

Frostfree Nosepumps have been on the market since 2002. The Frostfree Nosepump will easily accommodate up to 100 head per pump (50 pair or 100 cows). Multiple units per well, will accommodate larger herds for livestock watering.
The construction and operation of the nosepump is simple and energy-free, other than the energy required by the cow to operate the lever. The design of this livestock waterer includes a small, enclosed trough with a lever apparatus that is pushed by the animal's nose. This is set on top of a culvert, set vertically into the ground to whatever depth is required to make use of the ground water or dugout level. An installation depth of at least 20' with a minimum 24" diameter culvert is recommended in order to capture sufficient geothermal heat in the prairie provinces of Canada. Adjustments in depth can be made for warmer climates. The nose-powered lever apparatus operates a piston pump which is suspended in the well - much like the old hand pumps. With provision for frost protection (outlined on our webpage), the pumps work trouble free. Prevention of contamination of the water source is a major focus of this system. The design of the pump will prevent backwash, and the details of the system including a cement pad will prevent ground water contamination. To water livestock year-round (cattle, bison, horses) you will not find a more cost effective method. Give us a call today!
