Tomxcute Cat Water Fountain, 3.2L/108oz Automatic Stainless Steel Pet Fountain Dog Water Dispenser, Ultra-Quiet Pump and 3 Replacement Filters & for Cats, Dogs, Multiple Pets

This does exactly the job expected. Fill it with water, put in a filter and it recirculates water for your cat to drink. Anecdotally, it's understood that cats prefer to drink water that's running, so they're more likely to drink from this fountain then from a still bowl of water. We bought this for $24 on sale. Would absolutely recommend.A few things you'll want to know.1. MOTOR WEAR: The directions suggest not leaving this on continually so you don't burn out the motor. We bought an inexpensive manual indoor timer ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BCJRDQKD ) that we've set to turn on and off every thirty minutes. We didn't even set the time of day since that doesn't matter. All that matters is that the timer is on every half hour and then off every next half hour. Hopefully this will keep the motor from burning out.2. BOWL REQUIRED: The fountain does not come with a small bowl for periods when the fountain is off. Since there are thirty minute periods when the water isn't flowing, sometimes all the water has drained into the return basin where that cat can't get to it. We've put a small stainless bowl just under the fountain head. The water in the small bowl remains available when the fountain is off. We already had a bunch of these, 4 inches wide, 1 inch tall, no rubber bottom, just stainless. The water drips over the lip and into the return basin. A small thin ceramic bowl might also suffice.3. FILTERS: While the recirculating pump could run without the filters it comes with, it's really smart to use the included filters and replace with fresh filters as necessary. They suggest once a month. We bought these replacement filters: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTD3LW4B. There are black foam filters that go around the pump. There are white cartridge filters that contain activated charcoal to remove toxins/bacterial growth. These fit in the cartridge basket just below the return slot in the stainless lid.4. HEIGHT: The basin is four inches tall. With the small stainless bowl, it's five inches. That's fine for an eight pound cat or larger. If you have kittens or very small cats, it may be necessary to build a small stage around the basin so that they can actually reach the water. Our cat is just under nine pounds. She's elderly (19) with some vision issues, but started drinking from it without hesitation.5. NOISE: The recirculating pump is very quiet. There is no need for a sound dampening mat between the floor and the basin. You have to be within inches of it to hear the pump's motor, and even then, it's very quiet. The water does not splash loudly, likely because the filter cartridge causes the water to drip quietly back into the return basin. There will be a bloop when the water turns on, and there may be a trickling sound if you add a small stainless bowl as we did. It really depends on the lip of the bowl. At no time does the trickling sound become distracting or too loud.6. WHEN TO CLEAN: When you start hearing the basin drip loudly, it means the water in the recovery basin is low. It's probably time to clean the basin and the lid. It usually takes about three days for the water to get that low. Humidity may play a role in how fast the water gets low. We fill it to about a half inch below the max line. Before washing or putting in the dishwasher, remove the pump and the white filter. The stainless parts are all dishwasherable. There is a tiny pipe cleaner that came with this. Store this in a place where you won't lose it!7. LIGHT: There is a blue led somewhere below the lid that you can see glowing through the base plastic when the pump is running. It is barely noticeable at night, so it will not likely be a wake trigger for those who live in small spaces who have sleep issues. Future versions probably would be better with an amber or red LED light, or maybe even no LED. (Not sure why there needs to be an LED other than diagnostics?)8. CATS WILL BE CATS: The water returns to the lower basin through the return slit. Be sure nothing ever covers this, as it may cause the water to spill out of the entire system and onto your floor. Then your motor has no water to cool it down, which may cause early motor burnout, as well as a mess of water on your floor. This is all highly unlikely, but I could imagine a store receipt or a leaf accidently covering the slit and causing a mess. Alternatively, if your cat likes to move stuff around or push stuff over edges, it's possible they could push the small bowl to the edge, allowing some of the water to drip over and beyond the return basin edge rather than through the return slit. Nothing like this has happened to us, but felines can be capricious and playful, so it can't hurt to keep a watchful eye.8. THE CAT: Kitteh says hi.

I have 3 of these that I bought 7 months ago, and I love them. We have 6 cats, and 7 dogs so we change the filters more often than most, but they stay reasonably clean between uses. Especially considering what dogs will find to eat in the yard... They come apart easily and I throw the metal parts in the dishwasher to sanitize them. I live in Tucson, AZ and our water is hard. These have held up amazingly and the hard water spots come off early. They are super quiet, even when they run out of water (my older fountain would make a horrendous screeching sound when it was too low). I would definitely recommend, as they are a great value for the price.

I bought this because I have a cat that likes to play in the water and make a mess on the floor. Since I bought this water, she lets the water run down her forehead and she doesn’t play in the water anymore so I have no mess on my floor. I love it. I intend to purchase two more to go in my house for my eight cats. But I only had the one cat that was causing a problem with the regular water bowls but now Tateris a happy cat camper. We love it.

We appreciate it is stainless steel. The quality is the same as it is described and it is definitely quieter the our last one. One of our cats prefers to drink from a faucet so this one is perfect for her so she’ll drink more water.We have seen the same type of water fountain listed at much higher prices so the fact you are getting the same quality product for a reasonable price is an added bonus.The large size holds plenty of water for our two cats that lasts for the entire week between cleanings.It would be nice if it came with a cleaning brush for the fountain spigot, but otherwise it is perfect for our needs.

I've had great luck with this fountain. I chose to not install the top portion because I felt it was just more to clean. I haven't had a problem with any type of mold or gunk in my cat's water. I do put distilled water in the fountain due to our hard water. It definitely has taken a lot of cleaning out of my life. As for my cats minerals, they are given supplements for anything they may be missing. They seem to prefer the distilled water. All four of us are pleased.

Love this !!! Wish I bought it years ago . My big dog and little kitten have fresh water 24/7 . I don’t have to wash the water dish twice a day only every few days . Thanks for an awesome product … please buy for your babies

Absolutely love this fountain! I used to worry daily about my cat’s water intake. He didn’t like stationary water and always pulled apart the flower fountain one. He absolutely loves this one and I always see him drinking from it.In addition to being very happy with the product itself, the company is wonderful. The USB broke after about 11 months, which is likely due how often I changed the pump (I’m paranoid), I contacted the company to see if I could just replace the pump but they sent me a whole new one instead.Very grateful for their immediate assistance. We (Loki and I) are very pleased with this purchase. Absolutely worth it and I look forward to using it for a long time!

It was good while it worked but heed the warnings about turning it off or it will last about 6 months, as mine did. The problem with turning it off for awhile is the water drains into the bowl leaving none for the cats to drink. I did like it when it worked so I'm getting a new pump.
