SPECIFICATIONS
PART 1 - GENERAL
A. DESCRIPTI N:
1. The MiraFount is the finest operating, lowest cost, energy-free livestock waterer on the market
today. The sealed atmosphere helps prevent the formation of scum and algae. It also prevents
tongue injuries from contact with frigid steel.
2. The earth temperature of the water will keep your MiraFount flowing in cold weather and also
keeps the water cool in hot weather. Thermal engineering and special design of the lid closures
make it work in all types of weather. Note that the earth tube should be insulated tube at least
12" in diameter and below frost. #834 Miraco heat tube is recommended.
3. All edges are curved and sloped to prevent injury to people and animals. No energy is required,
eliminating the danger of electrocution and fire hazards.
4. In northern climates during cold weather a minimum of 20 head of livestock is needed to keep
Mirafounts working properly.
