Little Giant® Trough-O-Matic® Stock Water Tank | Float Valve Controlled Watering Tank with Plastic Housing (Float Valve, 1, Count)

Installed almost two weeks ago. Easy to assemble. Worked as expected. Very happy with the float. Will buy more. Water flow was good, quality seems good and durable, will probably last longer since it’s plastic and was a very good fit to the PVC and stock tank. I am very happy with the water pressure and the float cutting off the supply when full.

A have a couple of small waterfalls in my backyard and each has it's own underground tank to store water in and recycle it back up to the top of the waterfalls. I was having to hand fill each well twice a week. I ran water lines, installed these and I now the water tanks for the falls remain full with no interaction from me. Although they work flawlessly, I did technically have an issue with one when the roots from grass and plants encroached on the float valve preventing it from closing. After all, I have these installed below ground level. I cleared the roots, sprayed a little Ortho ground clear and no problems since.

I have a dozen troughs, I have used the metal version for years, with the exception of one of these plastic versions. The metal ones last a few years but then corrode badly in my hard water. I didn't think that the plastic would last but then realized that my lone plastic float has been in place for 15 yrs, despite my hard water and numerous assaults by horses and livestock. I used to get these at the local tractor supply but they started to carry another brand. I tried that brand and they just failed right and left. Glad that I found these on Amazon, just replaced all my floats, these are sturdy, reliable and save a lot of labor.

Works great and no more leaks. We will see how long this lasts. My last one from this company lasted less than a year and the threading for the hose cracked so it sprayed water everywhere when I turned the hose on. With the southern heat, I think the plastic is not durable enough. They used to be made with a thicker plastic material. I can’t use the metal version due to calcium deposits in the water.

Use this for a dog watering station for all of the dogs in our area and works great, have been using for over a month with no issues at all, can recommend this for keeping water levels constant.

I feel like an idiot for not doing this sooner. Live in North Carolina where heat and humidity make molds and algae flourish. We had to dump and scrub the horses tanks every week. When its hot, they empty a tank in a day. It was a daily, sometimes 2 x a day chore just to keep clean water. Put this baby on, with a stock tank tablet, and so far have had a tank FULL of clean water every time I check for 2 weeks. Will see how long it lasts with a curious gelding, but so far so good. Excellent as a matter of fact. 68 year old woman assembled and installed with no problem. Nuf said.

I was skeptical upon ordering the Trough-O-Matic since I have been through so many varieties of auto-fills for my pond over 25 years. Honestly, I had ordered another traditional type at the same time and went with that last year. This year I decided to give the Trough-O-Matic a try. I am glad that I did! I have had it working for 3 months already and there have not been any of the tradtional problems like not turning off or on which seem to be the common problems with most of them. Surprisingly, in spite of my initial appraisal this thing has turned out to be sturdy, functional and very easy to install. It is very easy to adjust and that is done by simply loosening the included brakets then sliding the unit up or down. I use an isolated pump area where I installed a 2 x4 that holds the Trough-O-Matic. I am delighted with it after fighting for years with conventional and not so conventional attempts to have a trouble free auto fill and the Trough-O-Matic has been trouble free so far. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has endured the same frustrations that I have over the years. I do not worry about coming home after a short trip now to find a very low pond or one that is overflowing!

I have bought the same item at our local hardware store. This is exactly the same product for less price. Thank you

Very simple design and so easy to assemble and install. I would recommend this for anyone.

Automatic water level control in a reservoir

Excelente producto tal y como se anuncia. Funciona muy bien.

could not completely stop the water after the tank filled

We mounted this on our two large inground fish tanks/pond to keep them topped up with water as the levels were dropping every day. It works fantastic and we are so happy with the results! We connected the two tubs with another line under the walkway and then added this product to the larger one and it keeps both ponds full to the top.
