Cat Water Fountain Stainless Steel, 84oz/2.5L Automatic Pet Water Fountain with Water Level Window and LED Light for Water Shortage Alert

I usually don’t write reviews often, but I had to for this product. While on vacation two summers ago, my mom started turning on the faucet so that my cat, Thor, could drink from it because he would usually jump in the bathroom sink by one of his water bowls. She thought it was cute. When I returned home, he became addicted to it and I kept forgetting to go back into the bathroom to turn it off when he was finished drinking. So, I decided to look into fountains. I had one before with other cats, but it was years ago and it always made me nervous that something might happen if the water ran out and the pump overheated. So, I started searching around for fountains searching for one that possibly turned off automatically when the water ran out when I came across this one. The reviews sold me (other ones complained of bugs growing in the filters or just getting into the water tank altogether) but this one seemed perfect so I purchased it last February. My cat loves it and so do I. It’s very quiet, cute, has 2 different water spouts, allows my cat to drink at all angles, has a night light feature so that I can clearly see the water level at all times, and is very easy to take apart, clean, and fill! My cat drinks from it so much that I have to refill it about every 4 days and he does not have kidney disease, he just loves to hang out and drink the water.A few months ago, it started to slow down and sometimes would take a few seconds to start streaming water. I was concerned because my cat loves it so much that I didn't want him to go a day without it and I had heard that most fountains only last 6 months so I ordered a new one. The old one kept going, but I decided to put it away a month ago to use the new one. I left it in the box should the new one break before I could order another one. This time, the new one came with a year's warranty, which was impressive to me. A couple of weeks ago, I had a question about something so I reached out to Wonder Creature and I found out that all I have to do is use the brush that came with the fountain to clean the pump and the old one would be as good as new. He sent me the directions for cleaning the pump (the directions are also in the description on Amazon - they even have photos). I had no idea the little blue motor came apart!! I took it apart today and when I popped it out, the propeller had a bunch of stuff in it. I cleaned that with the brush attachment and snapped it all back together and it started streaming water just like the new one! Nice! Now, I have 2 fountains so I guess I can put the other one in a different spot in my home or give it to another lucky pet owner. That said... this is the perfect water found and is worth every penny. Heck, I would pay double the price for it! On another note... a friend was at my house earlier in the year and commented on how quiet the motor was... he said that his son's cat's water fountain was very noisy and he needed to get this one. Buy this fountain! You will be very glad that you did!!

Go ahead and get this fountain. I think you'll be very happy you did! (It may even save you some vet bills!)I'm so happy I purchased this water fountain! I got it because my cat would only drink from the toilet, never his water bowl, even if it meant going without water for days until he got sick from dehydration that he landed in the hospital on more than one occasion. So I was really hoping this fountain might entice him to drink instead. I couldn't tell if he was drinking from it for a few weeks because he'd never do so in front of me, so I set up his automatic feeder so it would take pictures whenever he came near the fountain, and I finally caught him drinking! (See picture.) I think he believed he was stealing from his sister (now passed – I miss her so much!), since he would never eat or drink near where I used to feed her. Now I can always tell that he's been drinking from the fountain because he gets droplets of water on his face. Busted!This unit is so quiet, and I was worried that the light would deter my cat, but he doesn't seem to mind it one but, and it makes a great little nightlight for me!This fountain wouldn't be good for dogs unless they're very small, but it's plenty big enough for my very large male cat.Putting the fountain together was a breeze, except I didn't know which way the filter should go in. Others answered this question in the Q&A section though – it goes on with the flat/smooth side down.At first I thought cleaning it would be complicated, especially when it came to cleaning inside the pump, but I figured out from YouTube that it's much less complicated than I thought it would be. Now it's a breeze to clean the fountain! Basically, if it looks like it can come apart or fit together, just give it a try. (I use the tips of scissors to gently pull the little propellor from the inside of the pump.) It will only fit back together one way, which is pretty easy to figure out, so don't be afraid to wing it. If it fits and runs, you did it right.I was worried about getting the power cable in and out through that small tube along the back of the inside of the fountain and then cleaning out the filter itself, but even that's much easier than I expected. I just use the the tip of a knife to pop out the tiny rubber cover at the top of the tube the cable rubs through and the USB cable slides right through it as you pull out the pump. (Just be sure to keep track of the little rubber piece.) Then the filter comes apart very easily and fits back together just as easily. I use a toothbrush (used only for this purpose) to clean this and all the other parts. Don't forget to clean the part of the cable that gets in the fountain water, as that gets residue buildup on it too.If you're still trying to decide which fountain to get, I highly recommend this one!UPDATECustomer service is top notch! After using the fountain go four months the pump stopped working and the light would just flash blue. I emailed them at [email protected] and they replied within two hours saying if it's flashing red, the pump probably died, but if it's flashing blue it may just need to be cleaned. I do clean it often (and you really should too), but figured it couldn't hurt to do it again. (They attached some pictures which I'm adding here.) Sure enough, I think maybe taking it apart and putting it back together was all it needed.Today, at eleven months, the pump died again but this time it was flashing red, so I emailed asking the best place to get a new pump. They again replied super quick (on a Sunday!) and a new pump is already on the way!

I honestly only expected this thing to last MAYBE a year, but I've had it for just over 3 now and its still going strong. It's got some discoloration on the top metal part but that's about it. The refills for the filter parts are easily available/inexpensive and its easy to clean. It makes pretty much zero noise and also works as a nightlight. All of the cats took to it immediately with no issues.When it does finally die I will 100% buy this again.

After using it for a couple of weeks the water turned freakishly brown. I checked the filter and it was not broken. My guess is that the battery leaked.
