High Marks!!
PostedJune 6, 2007

I purchased this product after we adopted George. After having only female cats for quite awhile and losing one to cancer, the Vet reminded me that male cats do need to be even more encouraged to drink alot of water because of their tendancy towards urinary tract infections simply because of their structure. George (we believe) came from a home where he had developed the habit of drinking from a toilet rather than a water bowl, so we needed to try to switch him around. We were also wondering how Mocha (our female) would adapt.
THIS WORKED BEAUTIFULLY!!!
Both cats LOVED it within hours of turning it on!! Both prefer to drink from the top of the fountain where the water runs down rather than the pool. NO problem with them getting enough water in their system as they both drink out of this alot -- I think Moe is also drinking more than she used to. While George is still facinated with any running water, at least he's only drinking out of his fountain rather than other avenues.
With the 108 oz model, I really only have to clean/refill once a week. I find it easy to clean and maintain. I do agree that you do need to lift out the pump and clean the hair out of it regularly (something you don't tumble to when you first get the product, but very necessary.) It's very quiet (only gets a little noisy as an early warning system that it's running low on water), and no splashing at all. When you refill, it takes a couple of minutes for the pump to prime and the water to start flowing again, and the kids love it so much, I get 'the look' for those two minutes when they think I broke it and it's not working right anymore!
I would recommend to others and buy again in a heartbeat! I wish I would have stumbled over this years ago!

Clean water and fun for your cat
PostedDecember 7, 2005
Bettinab70
from West Orange, NJ
I was worried that my 2 cats would be freaked out by the water bowl, but bought it with high hopes. Not only do they get clean, fresh water, but they love to watch the water flow down the arch. They stand there mesmerized and drink a LOT more water than they ever did. Easy for you to clean but watch for hair clumps in the motor-my long haired guys clogged it up and it took me a while to realize why the water wasn't running as well as it used to. Easy to take apart and reassemble and easy to fill up daily. Highly reccommended.

Very hard to clean.

Jetmec

My cat, like most, loves it. The filter is just before the waterfall. The bowl get the cat hair in it and goes right into the pump. Within a few days the water slows down, and thus begins the 1 hour cleanning. Parts are big and don't fit in my small sink. If only there was a pre filter before the pump I would not have to clean so much.

Difficult to keep clean

Catbutler
from Galax VA
I had two of these for my cats. I owned them for several years and was never happy with how hard it was to get scum and mold out of the interior of this fountain. It has LOTS of corners and crevices that are nearly impossible to clean. Be prepared to buy a bunch of various brushes like baby bottle brushes and/or the brushes for human hydration packs like hikers carry. I retired mine due to cleaning problems. Today there are much easier to clean stainless steel fountains that have no corners. I now have a teardrop shaped one that is a two minute clean up job. Its a shame Petmate hasn't redesigned these to make them easier to clean.

I bought one of these 10 years ago for a finicky cat that I had. She would only drink from the bathroom sink. Needless to say, I was tired of the high water bill! So I bought one of these (it's blue). She loved it! She has long since passed away, and our new kitties have used it since then.
Well, 10 years later, I'm buying a new one. I'll probably buy this same one again since the last one worked for so long. My kitties love it and look pretty upset with their old fashioned water dish. Once your cats have one of these, you can't dare go back to the old water dish LOL
I cleaned mine once a week by pouring bleach in with some hot water and letting run (out of the cats' reach) for about 15-20 minutes. I then let it rinse for about the same amount of time. When you clean it, take the filter out and run it without the filter. If you have hard water, run vinegar in it instead of bleach once a week.
We love this fountain and so do the kitties! A little bit of maintenance and yours will last you 10 years too!

Cat loves it

Rocky watched us put it together and fill it. He sniffed it and left it. But......when I (supposedly) wasn't watching he snuck back and started drinking. Been using it ever since. We had had one before for three cats. Gave it away but got another cat. So......this is very easy to clean, always fresh moving water. Had only just heard recently cats don't like their water source near their food. Perhaps that is why Rocky preferred using the dogs water buckets(when they weren't watching) instead of his own water. Now I feel better about his getting enough water.

Good, but they burn out
PostedDecember 7, 2012
CMA1
from Mississippi
I have two of these fountains. Although the cats like them, the pumps burn out. I have had the fountains for two years. One is still using the original pump. The other one has gone through two. I don't know why one is burning up pumps and the other one isn't. I clean them both regularly and replace the filters every few weeks in both of them. Since the pumps are expensive and cost nearly what the entire fountain costs, I plan on getting a different brand of fountain to replace the one that has just quit, then replace the other one when it quits. Hopefully I will be able to keep the new ones going because the cats do drink more water now and I can monitor how much water they are drinking more easliy. One of my male cats used to have a lot of urinary tract issues, but since they have been using the fountains, those issues have been minimal.

I have three cats and am constantly refilling the water bowl. I bought this because of the large water reservoir, but I am really surprised that now the cats drink even more water! I was concerned that it might be loud or messy (it is basically an aquarium pump). There is a slight hum, but it is very quiet. I set the entire unit on a small towel on our wood floor, and so far it has worked extremely well. I highly recommend it.

Some cats will drink more water
PostedNovember 12, 2012
4Kits
With some cats, it's hard to get them to drink lots of water. With this fountain, at least 2 of my 4 cats are intrigued enough by the running water to drink from it. That includes one cat who recently had a urinary blockage. We were advised by his vet to try whatever it takes to get him to drink more water. So far, this fountain seems to be working. It does require regular cleaning and filter replacement which is very important. It is easy to clean and change the filter.

We have 4 cats and it is almost impossible to keep the water fresh -- stagnant water gets stale quickly. With this water fountain, the water filter helps keep it moving thereby cleaner water for longer periods of time. Our oldest cat loves to watch the water flow from the top. The only negative: one section is a little difficult to take apart to remove wet catfood from the motor. That is the only reason I don't give it 5 paws

Dismal to clean after a while
PostedAugust 22, 2012
mountaingirl5658
At first, this product seemed to do the trick. When its new - it performs its advertised duty and probably would do so forever provided your pet bathed daily and had no fur. If your cat is messy and shed prone like mine, you'll be unclogging and cleaning the unit A LOT. And it is hard to clean and hard to carry when it has water in it. I actually ended up making my own cat fountain using a big stainless dish and a fish tank pump. There are tutorials on you tube. I'm 10 x happier with my home made one and it cost like $25 in materials.

I've only been using it for several days, but if it continues to operate as it has been, I highly recommend it! You can hear absolutely nothing when you plug it in. This is the most quiet apparatus I've ever "not heard"! The only reason I gave it 4 paws is that the plastic parts that need to be removed for cleaning just beg to be broken. I haven't taken it apart to clean it yet, but I sincerely hope everything will stay intact when I do. And, by the way, the cats love it!

I have owned this product for about 6 months. I purchased it for my cat because I wanted a water bowl that kept the water fresh and clean. Unfortunately, all the crevices and small parts are impossible to keep clean. Black mold collects under things - I've even tried unsuccessfully cleaning with a qtip. Also, the motor is unreliable - it just stops working for no reason. While my cat loved drinking from this fountain, I had to replace it with something that was dishwasher safe and had no nooks and crannies to collect dirt and mold.

This fountain leaks! It seeps water from around the top cap, We have to keep a thick mat and an aluminum oven liner on top of the thick pad to protect our floor.
We have 2 cats, a Russian Blue, who likes to drink from the fountain & a Bengal who adores water - any water, anywhere also likes the fountain - but it is a 'clean-up mess' for us.
We want to buy a fountain without this problem & will pay more than the $40 we paid for this one,
Help!
