Keeping Livestock Water Troughs Clean Using a Simple, Convenient Method

Keeping Livestock Water Troughs Clean Using a Simple, Convenient Method

Whether you call them water troughs or stock tanks, we are all familiar with the awful task of cleaning them. And no matter if you are power washing, scrubbing, or bleaching them, the task is no fun.


Slime and Algae Buildup in Stock Tanks

The buildup of algae and slime in livestock water troughs is always compounding. The older the tank, the more nicks, dents and scratches, the easier it is for tough growth buildup to form and the faster the regrowth. This cycle is a common one on a livestock farm and the time wasted on this needs to be reclaimed.

Using a liner in stock tanks prevents the compounding effect of algae and slime from ever starting. The smooth surface of the liner doesn't allow growth to nestle into the nicks, dents and scratches making it easy to hose off with any nozzle. 


Simply Change Out Liner every 6-8 weeks

This fully recyclable liner is thick enough to be used in livestock fields for 6-8 weeks with normal wear and tear. Here is a video showing what you can expect a Rugged Stock Tank Liner to look like after almost 7 weeks of use at a horse farm in Virginia.

Reclaim the time used for cleaning dirty stock tanks with a simple, but effective solution. Rugged Stock Tank Liners make cleaning stock tanks as simple as changing a trash bag.


 Reuse Old, Cracked Stock Tanks Again

Horses, cows, llamas...no matter your the livestock you care for, they are not easy on stock tanks which get pushed, knocked and kicked daily. Sometimes, they get cracked and no longer hold water. Instead of patching these cracks with potentially harmful chemicals, give your stock tank life again with a Rugged Stock Tank Liner. 

Cracks and holes are no barrier to watering your livestock anymore. Old cracked stock tanks can be used for watering again.
