Amazon.com Product Description
Ideal for multiple-cat households or small dogs, this ultra-quiet purifying pet fountain provides a gently flowing stream of naturally cool and oxygenated water. The unit's translucent 50-ounce reservoir automatically adds water to the drinking bowl as needed, and its replaceable charcoal filter helps remove contaminates and odors. The filter should be replaced every 60 to 90 days for use by one animal; multiple animal homes will require more frequent replacement. Other highlights include a silent-running submersible pump, a flow-control lever, and a ramp that reduces splashing and quiets running water. The pet fountain comes equipped with non-skid rubber feet to help keep the unit in place, and its bowl, reservoir, and all other plastic parts should be cleaned by hand with mild dish soap. The medium-size pet fountain assembles easily and measures 13-1/2 by 9 by 7 inches.

Customer Reviews

Superb water fountain for cats
I purchased this several months ago because my kitties were drinking a lot of water and I felt I was wasting a lot when I cleaned out their water bowl daily.

The fountain is very quiet and requires only a weekly cleaning (my cats dip their paws in the water and put their mouths up to the lip). It's especially important to keep the area near the flow switch clean.

If you use filtered water, the charcoal filters will last longer. I change the filters every 45 days or so, with 3 cats using the fountain.

If you let the water level run too low for too long, or don't keep the fountain clean, the motor may wear out quickly (my first fountain wore out in 6 months) since it uses water for cooling. But my cats love the fountain, so I bought another one.

Works Well, Great Price
Bought this to encourage my cat to drink more water after his third time in the emergency animal hospital for an urinary tract infection. Assembly was fairly easy and used less than a gallon of distilled water to initially fill. It was noisy at first, but after an adjustment of the flow tab it's pretty quiet. My cat loves to drink right off of the ramp that water flows down, so I'm glad I didn't purchase an expensive model where the water actually falls and splashes into the water below it. I clean it once every 2 weeks just for upkeep, but it never seems really slimy or dirty so it could probably go longer between cleanings. For the price, this is a great water fountain and I'm glad I didn't buy the expensive models available.

great for pets in a hot weather
It is great for pets and you don't have to replace the water often, just make sure you add some every 2 or three days. I wish it would have a timer...
