Has anyone ever seen an automatic waterer like this one? Do you know who makes it? I'm trying to figure out how to clean it.

Nothing comes apart - it's "all" welded. What isn't shown well is it has 4 'openings'. It goes through the wall and the other side has two, just like the pic (It's symmetric about the wall shown).

Also not shown are two bolts that appear to bolt the whole thing to the cement floor. One is broken/missing. The wall goes across the center, so it doesn't seem like removing those bolts would be how to clean it.

That access hole (circled in red) is approximately the width of my 1st three fingers. "Just beyond" my finger tips there is what appears to be a rubber cork type thing. This 'cork' goes into the 'ceiling', meaning it would need to be pulled down to remove. It would not be easily reinserted and since I have yet to find the main water shutoff for the barn, I fear a large, unstoppable flood.

Does the rubber plug insert from the top or the bottom.. IE.. from insid ethe tank or outside.

If you could find the shutoff.. you could at least get a syphon going and drain it.. etc.

If there is electric anywhere nearby, ie in the barn or extension cord, you could also use a wet/dry vac. Quicker and easier.
