PETKIT New Cat Water Fountain with Wireless Pump, Ultra Quiet 65oz/1.85L Pet Water Fountain for Cats and Dogs Inside, Detachable Design Easy to Clean and Assemble, Filters Included

Update Aug-2022:After running for more than a year, the pump finally died. Thankfully a replacement pump was available here for $10 and this thing is running again! BTW, dont get scared when the pump suddenly stops. It seems to be a power-saving thing! It comes back in a bit!!Update 9/14:This unit is working just fine. Ofcourse I DIYed a filter instead of forking $4 each time. Oh those filters get bad pretty quick.If you read a review that says the pump stopped working, thats just poor maintenance. Its just because the user didnt clean the impeller/suction part properly. See, you are supposed to take the entire unit apart, rinse, wash properly to remove cat food residue. Oh, it is gonna get into the pump inlet, with or without the filter. My motor did the same thing: lights blink, then no action. Clean the pump after taking it apart, in fast water, its just as new...========================================================================The background story is my cat always spilled water from his bowl just to check if its "alive". So I was tired of drying the carpet and yelling at him when he does that. So I needed something to check and control this behaviour. So my review will be from this perspective.Whats good1. Silence. Yes! Its super super quiet. I can swear its now working if it was not for the minute movement of the water fountain.2. No spillage!! I have used two other electric cat fountains and in both of them there was enough water for my cat to play with and ergo spill on the carpet. This device has very little amount of water available for him to spill. Also the "Infinity pool" concept ensures the water is not at the edge of the drinking bowl, thus preventing accidental spills. Love this piece of design.3. Setup is simple. Just pop in the motor, connect the wire, fill water and its on!4. Love the blue light. My cat is curious all the time (including ones he saw already!) So in a dark room this catches his attention and he investigates, sniffs and ergo he drinks water often!Whats I didnt like1. I wasnt happy about the motor being loose the 5v connection is in the water. Agreed, its a low voltage and Im pretty sure its water tight. As an electrician, thats not something Im comfortable with, unless its sealed by silicone. Im assuming the thought process was to "replace" the motor when it goes bad? The designers need to think, no one is going to replace just the motor. They are gonna toss this out and get a new unit by itself. So why not just fuse the motor to the unit into a water tight unit!!?2. Filter Media: $4 for each is not just a sustainable option. Especially with having to change frequently as it is getting soggy in less than a month.3. Cable management. The cable management design under the unit is just not working. I tried following instruction and the cable and connector keeps popping out. Its not a deal breaker but its an annoyance.OverallThis is much better than the ones I have seen in Walmart and definitely better option for cats that like playing with still water! What got me onboard is that my cat hated the other fountains due to its noise and very active water flow. But the quiet motor and minimal fountain movement won him over.Keeping this one, we are.

This pump is a champ and my cat seems to love it. It's worked well with general maintenance since 7/17/2024 but just tonight the pump stopped pushing above the connecting tube. I have reached out to the company for the warranty on the pump but from prior reviews I don't hold out much hope on a replacement being sent. Would have rated this 5/5 but it didn't last a year yet, shy about 3 months and that's not ideal in my opinion. I would say if you are on the fence nab this up and you won't be unhappy with your choice, if they respond to me and replace the pump then this will be updated accordingly.4/22/25Talked to support and they move it on the replacement. Tuxie is happy he has bubble water again and was starting to get depressed without it.

This water fountain has been a hit in my house. My cat was never a big drinker, so I was constantlyemptying and cleaning her water bowl. The gentle bubbling seems to encourage her, and the wireless pump design makes cleaning way easier than older models I’ve tried.It’s impressively quiet—basically silent unless the water gets low (which is actually a helpful reminder to refill it). The detachable parts and filter system are well thought out, and the modern look blends in nicely with our space.If you’re looking for a reliable pet fountain that won’t drive you crazy with noise or clog easily, this is it. Just keep an eye on the water level if you want to keep it running quietly.

So what I didn't like about this is that first I thought I was missing a piece from the box however it wasn't missing a piece.Also I guess I just didn't read the FULL details more of the type of USB block that it needs to be plugged into. It needs a 5V1A or will not work.I was trying to use a different wattage block and it just did not want to work at all.I was very pleased when I reached out the customer service they responded on a Sunday within 2 hours. All in all while I'm still new to this product but I love it thus far.
