Don’t forget, once your system is installed the spending stops! There are virtually no input costs in the successful operation of the FFNP (no monthly power bill, no batteries, motion sensors, or solar panels to replace, no heating element to maintain). The HEATING COSTS ALONE for one traditional style heated livestock waterer average $875 PER YEAR (based on the minimum required 500 Watt heating element in waterers rated for the same number of livestock)!
