The 55 Gallon water barrel water circulation system is still working GREAT! I used the Nipples @MountainSpringHomestead recommended to me when I was visiting them to pick up chicken. These nipples in combination of the barrel, heater and pond pump are providing tempered water to my rabbits all winter long (I hope).
Last night it was down to -6 degrees Fahrenheit and a high of 8 degrees during the day. The only issue I have had is that the grow out kits had a mountain of ice under the nipples that I ended up having to chip away. I am super happy that once a week I can take out a five gallon bucket and refill the barrel and be done watering for the week!
