Sorry Rich! We're just a confused bunch tonight LOL! There are some of their waterers around but I've never heard of a Ritchie hydrant.

IMO, and as others have said Woodford is the only way to go. Tape the pipe if you need to do that on galvanized in your soil. If you have heavy gumbo or clay soil, use a couple 5 gal buckets of gravel at the base when you install it so the drain has a place to go with the water.

This lack of "drain field" might be the problem with your existing hydrant if it is turned on and off a lot in winter.
