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 had this fountain about a year ago, but a part of it was lost in a move. This is my second time purchasing it and I specifically came looking for this brand because my first one worked so well. Excellent for my cat that loves to drink from the faucet, now he has his own!The fountain is completely silent when the water level is good, and only makes a noise when you need to add more. Don't rely 100% on the filter to clean the water. The sponge filter does a really good job with hair and the like, but the charcoal filter doesn't do much at all. Matter of fact, the charcoal filters for my last fountain were slightly smaller than the compartment they go into, so water just flowed around it instead of through. This is not a huge problem, though. To compensate, I just changed the water daily (something I'd do anyway even with a filter) and popped the whole thing in the dishwasher once a week or so. It's totally usable with or without a charcoal filter, but I do highly recommend using the sponge filter on the pump.

I do love this fountain and I think it’s a wonderful price point!Would I buy again yes if : 1. was in a hurry and didn’t want to research fountains again. 2. Price point was an issue.It is very quiet, filters are super easy to replace, the filter housing actually keeps loose bits of carbon from falling into the actual bowl, assembly is easy, pump looks and feels better than what I was using. The sponge around the filter cleans easy, the steel look fits with any deco, and replacement items are easily found on Amazon.Now what would make me order a different more expensive one?If you clean clean, Like hospital clean this fountain will take some time. I’ll explain. I would have opted for surgical stainless steel rather than 304. 304 is consumption safe, but surgical has less corrosion for the way I clean. I have a cat that needs extreme cleaning so I pretty much autoclave things/steam clean everything. The plastic while durable will not stand up to this type of heat so I must hand clean them. No big deal just time consuming. The design of this fountain leaves a lot of “nooks” for biofilms to start. I’ve included pics of these little nooks. So you have to take every little part off to steam clean. Not a big deal like I said just time consuming cause there are a ton of spaces to clean.Buy yourself a nice flexible set of brushes to clean this with! The one provided is useless. It will not get into the bend of the fountain water hook.Last, next time I will look for a fountain with less plastic parts and more stainless steel. While more expensive it’s just easier to clean with high heat. While ss pumps are hard to find it’s not impossible, but for under 100$ I knew what I was getting.So yes this fountain is worth the purchase, but if you have a special needs kitty or like super clean, this fountain will take some time to clean.

Works well, cleans up easily. My cat loves 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.

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.
