Although we are in the deep south and don't have to battle the sub-zero winters...DP Waterers are still life savers. These waterers have saved our lives in the summer when we have to pour out hundreds of gallons of water every day to keep our water fresh, cool and algae free. Also for those weeks during the winter when we struggle with icy watering troughs the DP Waterers are like little miracles in our pasture (since the only place we are used to ice is in our sweet tea!). Mike, thank you for this exceptional product...this waterer beats all others! - 11/10/2018
Kenna MarieWe love our drinking post! It was very easy to install and the horses figured it out quickly - 2/20/2020
Lisa TrentWe've had ours for a couple years now and they've worked perfectly, 100% of the time. Worth every penny and then some for the peace of mind! - 5/08/2020

Water is always available for livestock, regardless of freezing or high temperatures. Animals quickly learn operation and when new cows are added, the other cows teach the new ones. AND, no troughs to manage or scrub!! - 7/12/2021
Judith DeGraaffI am so satisfied that I now have 5. It is so great to have clean, fresh water year round. We have 25 quarters horses of all sizes and operate the waterers easily.
Any time I need parts they are always available.
Best thing about the units is they are simple and easy to work on if repair is needed. Our first unit was installed on 2014.
Doug D. Sioux Falls SD - 11/11/2020Susan Thomas AllenWe installed DP two years ago in both our barn and pasture. Couldn't be more happy. We had a terrible long winter in the PNW and midst the ice and snow the DP's never failed. Such a gift not to have to plug in water heaters and deal with breaking ice. We bring in new horses for training and it has been amazing to me how quickly they learn to drink from the DP. Thrilled with our product and the help and service we have received. - 5/16/2019

Lolann Mantenwe installed a drinking post waterer in the fall, and it has turned out to be awesome! I highly recommend having it! Customer service is top notch, too. We had issues with freezing in extremely cold temperatures, and they got back to us immediately and resolved the issues! - 2/12/2019

It's reliable....when the winter winds are blowing you know your animals have fresh water, when it's a hot summer day they have cool fresh water!! Love it!!! - 5/08/2020
Cole BratwurstsThis is my second review I’m leaving based on the unbeatable customer service. I needed a part on a day they were closed. Not only did they call back, not only did they meet me on a day they closed but I received the part for FREE!!! I’m blown away by this company AND their product. I’ve had it for 2.5 years and it works sooooo good. Never freezes in the winter and I have mine out in the elements. Quality Customer service is hard to come by these days... not with this place. THANK YOU - 8/22/2020

Polly McGannI’ve had my drinking post watered in Northern Illinois for 3+ years, two horses, and it’s been a champion! I often say it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. What’s not to love? Easy, safe, healthy for the horses, time and money savings. Had to do some minor maintenance on it this year, replaced the bowl since the holder for a screw did eventually wear down. The maintenance videos are all well done, but I still called for some help and got the best customer service you can imagine. It’s deceptively simple but don’t underestimate it! - 12/07/2018
Laura Anne GalbraithExcellent customer service! We had some trouble with extreme weather this year and Brad Piper called and helped us immediately! Thank you so much - 3/12/2019
- Cathy Anne
We don’t need a tank to clean, keep full and put a heater in during the winter. We have a clean, constant, frost free water supply that takes care of all of that. - 12/08/2020
Angel GormleyThe drinking post has made our life so much easier!!! No more carrying buckets or wrestling hoses ! We highly recommend buying this product. We trained our horses in 2 days exactly like the video says . It works!!!! It did take a few weeks to train the donkeys, but donkeys are stubborn that’s not a secret lol they love the waterer and actually use it for entertainment. Also customer service is amazing . All questions answered right away !! Very helpful and responsive. Thank you drinking posts for everything ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Angel - Michigan - 8/28/2018Elizabeth MarksI LOVE my drinking post!! Think about all of the stress related to water for your horse, now imagine that gone. No more worrying about whether your horse has water, cleaning buckets or troughs, dumping toughs that could be a breeding ground for algae and mosquitoes, filling buckets, de-icing them, worrying about heated water buckets getting unplugged, etc. It was easy to install - my well guy hooked it up easily and with no prior experience. It was easy to trouble-shoot. When extreme cold weather hit, I had a problem with it leaking. I called Brad who talked me through how to fix it and I (with no plumbing where-with-all) fixed it in 30 seconds. I was very worried that my horse wouldn't figure out how to use it. The key is to 1. introduce them to it and you depress the paddle so that they get used to the sound and know it is where water comes out and 2. use the training paddle. I didn't use the training paddle and my horse wasn't using the waterer. The second I put on the training paddle and dribbled molasses in the bowl he got it IMMEDIATELY. The waterer is outside (under a barn overhang). When I stable my horse overnight in a stall I use a bucket. I've seen him come out of the stall and go to the drinking post rather than drink out of his bucket, he likes it that much. Honestly, I don't know why all horse people don't have one. - 2/01/2020

We installed our drinking post this summer for our two warmbloods and 1 mule. I actually have looked forward to the electric bill each month to see the cost savings that the drinking post has given us. So far this winter our electric bill is averaging 300 kWh less then the same month last year when we were using a water tank heater. That is $30 of savings a month just from 1 tank heater! At this rate the drinking post will pay for itself in 2.5 years. It has been worth every penny! My animals love drinking out of it, getting a fresh consistent temperature water each time. - 2/19/2020
Stacy SelfI absolutely love these posts for our goats, cows, mini horses and donkey! easy to use and to train everyone to use them! - 3/13/2021
Cheryl SchneiderHave had them for over 9 years. Love them! Wish I had installed in my pastures too! Great customer service. - 6/11/2019

Tonia Marshallthey are maintenance free and fresh water on demand, - 10/03/2018
Judy Vanden BoschI was worried about freezing up in the open paddock with temps negative 20 degrees F in the winter. Nope! Care FREE all winter long!! Hallelujah!! - 9/19/2021

Keith Tolison –
We use them for COWS, BULLS AND CALFS. One of the best decision we have made at kt2Ranch. It’s February in Colorado, I have not touched a water hose all winter. We buy steers for finishing and they always learn within a few days. We have never had any get sick. We will be adding more DRINKING POST this spring.

We have had the drinking post waterer for many years. It has required very little attention. We have replaced several paddles and that is it for parts. It has not been apart for any reason . It gets down to 25 below and is windy here in Vermont. Ocassionally we have had to remove ice around the rim on the very coldest of days which is quite easy with a kettle of hot water. There is no other product/system that I am aware of that would provide water for our cattle year round as reliably as The Drinking Post Waterer.
Michael James Paben –
ABSOLUTELY love this system. Ease of install was a plus. I live in north east Missouri and we have some really cold winters but we have had no issues. We have a small cattle herd and I have been telling everyone about this system. Have even considered trying to sell these waterers in my area because nobody in this area sells them and there are a lot of cattle and horse people in the area. Thanks for making a great product.

Installed four years ago, and though there have been little things go wrong, (broken paddle), we never want to go back to windy winter days where we would chop the ice in the water trough, fill, then drain the hose. I have had to pull the top out several time, to winterise, and today pulled, as the valve was not shutting off. Took up to the shop, and used compressed air to blow everything off, disassemble clean, and reassemble and now no leaks. This has been a very trouble free tool, saves time, water is always available, and clean. Of great import to me is MADE IN USA, and I have called once when I was having trouble with the reinstallation of the rod actuator, and was talked through the problem, so most impressed with the customer service. We are in Central Wa St. up in the foothills of the Cascade mountains, 2070 feet, and hot summers, cold winters, always works. In four years, I have only spent a couple hours in service time replacing small parts, and the recent valve r&r, so pretty trouble free. We buried four feet deep, and before final instillation, of the unit, flush pipe so there is no debris to plug the screen. I used this method to install: Using pipe dope, thread a galvanized or brass 3/4 street ell onto the bottom of the drinking post, install a 3/4 PVC threaded by slip male coupler, then glue pvc pipe into coupler then glue to supply. This allows you to set the unit flat and level and to the height you want, then shovel some gravel in then fill around post, and when it is solid fill the rest of the trench. Hope this helps on the installation. Great cottage industry, hartly recommend them.

One word “Ultimate” So true. The watering post is the “ultimate” water system for livestock. Easy installation, with little, to no maintenance afterward. I may test and clean the bowl before any animals are put in the pasture and then never have to worry about algae, lingering mosquitoes, or wasps that swarm a trough or bowl of water. The water my animals get is always fresh. Highly recommended.
Brad –
We live in central MS. It is hot and humid here this time of year. No way to keep traditional open water sources from being stagnant, hot, and full of algae and mosquito larvae. The drinking posts solved that and have worked flawlessly during the summer. We had our coldest winter in years. The drinking posts worked like a charm no busting ice or running extension cords to heaters. Only problem was when it got into low teens for a week or so they would get some ice accumulation as the bowl wouldn’t completely drain quick enough. Easy enough to run the water by hand a few minutes and rake the ice out. Never got to a point where animal’s didn’t have water. We have goats and stocker calves that get rotated through pastures. Was a little worried if the yearling calves would be to rough and break the goat paddle’s on the valves. So far it’s been no problem at all.
