Show FresH2O

Show FresH2O® is a trusted water chlorine treatment designed specifically for show livestock and performance animals. Municipal and show facility water often contains chlorine that can alter taste and smell, discouraging animals from drinking enough to stay hydrated and perform at their best. Show FresH2O neutralizes free chlorine quickly and effectively, helping restore a more natural water profile that animals are accustomed to at home.

About Show FresH2O

Show FresH2O™ water treatment is a purpose-built chlorine removal solution designed to help livestock and performance animals stay hydrated when away from home. Many show venues and municipal water supplies include added chlorine that changes the taste and odor of water — a factor that can reduce water consumption, lead to dehydration, and negatively impact animal performance. Show FresH2O works on-site to quickly and easily eliminate free chlorine and related odors, so animals are more likely to drink water naturally and confidently. This convenient “pour and go” treatment removes the need to haul water or rely on water filters that may not effectively remove chlorine. Show FresH2O is safe and simple to use: just add the treatment to buckets, tanks, or waterers according to directions to help ensure animals stay properly hydrated and performance-ready throughout shows, travel, and everyday turnout.

Frequently Asked Questions about Show FresH2O

What is Show FresH2O used for?

Show FresH2O is a water chlorine treatment made to neutralize free chlorine and reduce the chlorine smell/odor in municipal/show water, helping animals drink more consistently when they’re away from home.

Why do show animals stop drinking at fairs or jackpots?

A super common reason is water taste/smell changes—especially chlorine in city/show ground water. If they don’t like the water, intake drops, which can contribute to dehydration and poorer performance.

How much Show FresH2O do I add per gallon (or per bucket)?

Use 15 mL per 5 gallons (about ½ ounce per 5 gallons). That’s the standard “5-gallon bucket” dose most show families use. Mix thoroughly.

Do I need to mix it, or just pour it in?

Mix it well after adding—guidance commonly says to mix thoroughly for about one minute to ensure the chlorine odor is properly eliminated.

How many gallons do the bottles treat (8 oz, 16 oz, 32 oz)?

8 oz treats ~75 gallons

16 oz treats ~150 gallons

32 oz treats ~300 gallons

Can I use Show FresH2O for show pigs, show cattle, sheep/goats, and horses?

Yes — it’s marketed for livestock and horses, and it’s commonly sold in both show livestock and equine channels for the same “won’t drink show water” problem.

Does Show FresH2O replace hauling water from home or using a water filter?

That’s one of the biggest reasons people buy it: it’s a “pour and go” option so you don’t have to depend on hauling water or unreliable filters at the show.

Does it disinfect water or remove bacteria?

No — Show FresH2O is positioned as a chlorine eliminator/water treatment, not a sanitizer/disinfectant.

Can I use it with electrolytes or other water additives?

In the show world, families commonly pair hydration tools (chlorine treatment + electrolytes when needed). The typical best practice is: treat the water first (remove chlorine/odor), then add your electrolytes/additives so the base water is more palatable.

People say to use Kool-Aid or flavoring—why not just do that?

Flavoring may mask taste, but it doesn’t remove chlorine (the root cause). SwampFox specifically addresses this “home remedy” approach and contrasts it with chlorine removal.

Whether you're preparing for jackpots, county fairs, state shows, or national events, maintaining consistent water intake is critical for appearance, appetite, and overall performance. Show FresH2O is easy to use — simply measure and add to water tanks, buckets, or automatic waterers.

Available in convenient 8 oz, 16 oz, and 32 oz bottles, this chlorine treatment is ideal for travel, show barns, and everyday farm use. Keep your livestock drinking confidently wherever the road takes you.
