Meet the New Water Rippler
When the temperatures drop and frost starts forming, livestock owners know the struggle—frozen troughs, long mornings with an ice chisel, and animals struggling to stay hydrated.
At AgriBest Feeds, we understand that water is the foundation of animal health. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our newest winter solution — the Water Rippler — a simple, energy-efficient device that keeps your stock tanks open, moving, and helps to reduce the buildup of ice all winter long.
The Story Behind the Water Rippler
As fourth-generation ranchers on their family ranch in Oshoto, Wyoming, Randall and Shondah Otwell spent years seeking an effective, affordable method to manage winter ice in their stock tanks. In 2022, on a particularly bitter morning, they discovered that their gradually refined and tested solution was indeed effective.
This realization marked the beginning of their journey to bring the product to market — offering others the opportunity to benefit from their innovative solution. What started as a homemade fix for one family ranch has now become a practical, proven tool for livestock owners across the country.
What Is the Water Rippler?
The Water Rippler is a low-voltage, submersible pump system designed to keep water in motion, that slows ice from forming on the surface of your troughs or tanks. Unlike bulky tank heaters that use hundreds (or even thousands) of watts, the Water Rippler runs efficiently—using roughly 50 watts of power while producing a steady current across the surface.
It’s built tough for the ranching lifestyle:
Rugged Design: Durable construction that can withstand the elements and daily use in livestock environments.
Simple Installation: Just drop it into your tank, secure it, and plug it in—no complicated setup required.
Safe for All Livestock: Horses, cattle, sheep, and goats all benefit from having open access to fresh, moving water.
Flexible Power Options: Works with standard 120V outlets, and can also be adapted for battery or solar setups in remote areas.
Made in the USA: Designed and assembled with American craftsmanship, for the hardworking people who keep agriculture moving.

Why Every Ranch Needs One This Winter
When water freezes, livestock drink less, which can lead to reduced feed intake, stress, and even health issues. The Water Rippler keeps the surface layer circulating—slowing ice formation and maintaining open water access, even in sub-freezing temperatures.
Other benefits include:
Fresher Water: Constant circulation discourages algae growth and keeps water oxygenated.
Less Labor: Say goodbye to chopping ice every morning.
Lower Energy Costs: Significantly cheaper to run than high-wattage heaters.
All-Season Use: Great for summer too—keeps water cleaner and cooler for your herd.
Prepare Now Before the First Freeze
If you’ve ever had to break through solid ice with a hammer or haul buckets across frozen ground, you know how valuable prevention is. Getting your Water Rippler installed before winter hits saves time, money, and frustration all season long.
This small investment keeps your operation running smoothly while helping your animals stay hydrated and healthy.

My wife wanted to know if this might also work in her koi pond to keep an opening in ice for gases to release and a little aeration also?
