Clean It Without Emptying It
Dust that settles on top of the water turns to sludge at the bottom over time. The swept end design lets you clear that dust and sludge straight out using a Polymaster sweep broom, without draining and refilling the trough. Less water wasted, less time spent on maintenance.
Weighted To Stay Put
A ballast water chamber adds weight to the trough, so stock cannot tip it over or shift it around even when the drinking water level runs low. The same chamber helps keep the drinking water cooler, and the float cover protects the inlet valve from being damaged by stock.
Built Tough, Built To Last Outside
A tough double skin mould gives the trough extra strength for daily use, and a rust resistant design means it can sit outside year round without corroding or breaking down. Suited to sheep or cattle, and made in Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the sweep cleaning work?
The trough has a swept end that lets you clear dust and settled sludge out using a compatible Polymaster sweep broom, without needing to empty and refill the trough.
What is the ballast water chamber for?
It adds weight to the trough so stock cannot tip it over or move it, even when the drinking water level is low, and it helps keep the drinking water cooler.
Which size do I need?
The 250L (SWP250) and 450L (SWP450) both suit sheep or cattle, the larger 450L simply holds more water for bigger mobs or slower refill flow.
