Trough Rocks – Natural Water Purification for Livestock
Keeping your animals’ drinking water clean and fresh is essential for their health and hydration. Trough Rocks are an all-natural, chemical-free solution designed to inhibit the growth of algae and bacteria in livestock water troughs. Made from Australian paramagnetic rocks, these innovative minerals help maintain cleaner, fresher water for longer, reducing the need for frequent trough cleaning.
How Do Trough Rocks Work?
Trough Rocks use paramagnetic properties to create a natural ion exchange when submerged in water. This process:
- Inhibits the growth of algae and bacteria
- Maintains fresher, cleaner water for livestock
- Reduces unsightly algae buildup on trough walls
- Helps prevent urine from burning grass, reducing patchy paddocks
- Is 100% natural and chemical-free – safe for all animals
While Trough Rocks do not clean dirty water, they help keep clean water clean. For best results, empty and clean your trough before use.
Benefits of Using Trough Rocks
- Natural & Chemical-Free: Contains no artificial additives, making it completely safe for animals and humans
- Long-Lasting Effect: Each 3kg bag is effective for up to 4 months before needing replacement
- Reduces Algae Growth: Limits bacteria and algae without the use of chemicals
- Protects Grass from Urine Burn: Helps prevent unsightly dead patches in paddocks
- Easy to Use: Simply submerge the bag in a clean trough and let the rocks do the work
How to Use Trough Rocks
- Clean your trough: Remove old water, scrub the inside, and refill with fresh water
- Submerge the Trough Rock bag: Place the entire bag fully underwater in the trough
- Replace every 4 months: As the rocks naturally lose their charge over time, they need to be replaced for continued effectiveness
Sizing & Usage
- One 3kg bag treats up to a 360-litre trough
- For larger troughs, use additional bags for optimal results
Will Trough Rocks Prevent All Algae Growth?
While Trough Rocks reduce algae growth, they won’t eliminate it completely, especially during hot summer months. However, due to the ionic charge, any algae that forms will settle to the bottom and sides of the trough, keeping the water itself clean and drinkable for your animals.
Suitable for All Livestock
Trough Rocks are safe for all animals, including horses, cattle, sheep, goats, alpacas, llamas and poultry. Trough Rocks offer a simple, natural, and effective way to reduce algae and bacteria growth in water troughs. By keeping water cleaner for longer, they help promote animal health, reduce maintenance, and protect pasture quality.
