Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Smidley automatic waterers different from other livestock waterers?

Smidley automatic waterers are known for heavy-duty stainless steel construction, simple mechanical design, and long-term durability.

Are Smidley waterers good for hogs and show pigs?

Many Smidley waterers include insulation and optional heating elements designed to prevent freezing and keep water available year-round. Proper installation below the frost line helps maximize winter performance.
