I know. I copied your design. We have one large tire that’s watering a group of cows that’s working fairly well. It’s on a hill & is getting lots of water movement. Also has its own dedicated pressure system. The two causing problems I think have two problems. High ground water has flooded the heat sink pipe. Second is that we located them on existing water lines so when all the cattle start to drink they don’t have enough flow to refill quick enough. This creates an air gap which is a huge problem without a heat source.
That having a high water table is why I was told years ago to stay away from those heat sink pipe or culvert style waterers.
Remember when mirafount was first introduced. From what I remember - - - none were in for the second winter.
The using ground heat to keep the waterer open is a great idea - - - - unless it just don't work. | 
It’s messed up when -1 feels warm
