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

I've had this fountain for almost 2 years now and it still works great; I expect it to have a long lifespan. It's practically silent, all you hear is the water trickling but no pump sounds. Some of my friends have bought it for their cats after visiting my house and being amazed at how quiet it is. It holds enough water that I only have to top it off about once every 1-2 weeks. I wash it in the dishwasher about 1-2 times a month and that has worked fine to keep it clean. It has never leaked or malfunctioned in any way. I recommend putting a mat under it because it sometimes gets condensation on the outside if you put cold water in it. My cats love the running water and stay better hydrated this way. One of them gets chin acne with plastic dishes, so the stainless steel fountain has helped prevent that.

I have two cats. One like to drink from a bowl and the other likes to drink from a faucet. This water fountain keeps both cats happy. They were always wanting either a fresh bowl of water or the faucet turned on, even though they got fresh water at least twice a day. Leona would tell me she needed fresh water by knocking her water bowl all over the floor and Chewie actually learned to turn the faucet on. Unfortunately, he didn't learn to turn it off again. I can fill this every couple days and they never complain anymore. I wonder if the water tastes fresher because its filtered and oxygenated from the constant circulation of water. The three cons of this waterer are: it does need the filters changed or washed out. I just cleaned the filters for the first time today (I've had this for three months) and it definitely should have been done sooner. The tip off was reduced flow from the nozzle and back into the reservoir. I was able to wash them out enough to get it going again but the new filters are not expensive and I have them on order. Another con is that once the water level gets so low the pump can't circulate the cats only have what little water is on the top tray and it isn't a lot. So going out of town for a weekend and leaving this as the only water source would not be a good idea. I try to top it off every day, but my two cats can easily drink for two days out of this. You can fill it from the top without taking it apart if you pour slowly enough to let the water flow through the top inlet without backing up and overflowing. The third drawback is that it does need to be plugged in to operate, so a power outage or a kitty that likes to play with cords could be a problem. But my cats give this thing 5 stars, and if they're happy, I'm happy.

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’ve had this product for 9 months now and it is starting to not work. The pump must be in the beginning stages of starting to go out. I’ve kept up with it and routinely cleaned it weekly if not every other week due to life and how busy it can be. It was kinda simple to clean. The spout was the hardest part to clean due to not having something long enough to curve into it so I had to buy something for that but it was easy to reassemble. It was super quiet as well but the older it has gotten the more I noticed the noise. I have a single cat and she loved it in the beginning and now starting to not like it.For long term I wouldn’t recommend this item but it is good for temporary usage and I will continue to use until I find something I like better. Not to mention the replacement filters you buy for this smell absolutely awful..

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.
