Others that we have tested
Petkit Eversweet Max for $ 80:: This automatic technical fountain can be wireless or powered by battery (duration up to 83 days), and the drinking bowl is made of stainless steel, but the tank is plastic. Due to the shape of the basin with the battery and the bowl of the tank, it is a little annoying to clean. The application connects each time a pet drinks it and compares it over time to determine if your cat’s consumption habits have changed. The application also keeps a trace from the moment when the filter must be replaced and when you have added water for the last time. However, it did not watch you or not show you the amount of water that remains in the basin; You must check manually. The design also made it difficult to clean and fill easily.
Rola Smart Pet Water Fountain for $ 40:: This automatic fountain is wireless and works on a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 60 days (although it can also remain connected). It has a wireless pump that uses magnetic induction – this pump was one of the easiest and most hassle to clean everything I tested. The fountain has a stainless steel top which contains a decent amount of water even when it does not work. Although the tank is plastic, and I now wary plastic because of its propensity to host bacteria (the more cold it does not keep water). The application recalls when the water is low, the fountain needs cleaning, or the filter must be replaced, and it automatically stops providing water and sends you a reminder to fill out via the application. It also records the number of times your animal has drunk and for how long, monitoring hydration models over time and comparing statistics to the average time used. A complaint that I had is that this fountain would not stay in continuous flow mode, even when it is connected, automatically passing through the detection flow.
Fountaine of Homerunpet wireless company for $ 60: This wireless fountain can be used as a traditional fountain connected to its base, or can be detached and moved to the house with 30 days of battery life. I do not like this fountain to be very plastic, but it is easy to see the water levels from the outside, the top and filtered The diapers are super easy to remove, clean and replace, and the wireless (fundamentally silent) pump makes it much easier to clean. Plastic does not keep water as cold or clean as stainless steel, so you will have to clean it much more often. The fountain only begins to boil when a cat (or human) approaches to save the battery, and there is no option to control the flow (and no connected application). I like the wireless pump, but I’m really too plastic at this stage.
Wonder Creature Cat Fountain for $ 21: My two cats have traveled several water fountains in recent years, but this freelance version has been a faithful. The interior is lit by a blue LED (fairly shiny to shine in darkness), and a clear vision window on the side facilitates water level monitoring from afar. I also like the metal bowl in the dishwasher and the fact that you can eliminate the parts of the yellow and white “flower” to create a fountain configuration that your cat likes (waterfall, low bubble, large bubble). The only major drawbacks are the fact that it requires very common cleaning and Modifications filter Due to the plastic body, and there is no tank to maintain water in the event of a power failure or pump dysfunction. When I go on vacation, I have to exchange it for a Old -fashioned gravity distributor. —Kat Merck
Fountaine of Happy Gothic cat consumption and Polly for $ 55: If you prefer Gothic decoration with neutral blandness, this ghostly chat fountain of Happy & Polly can try to bite. The water bouillon from the summit of the ghost and the pools on the ceramic top. It is quite calm at around 35 decibels, but it becomes strong when the water is low, and I worry so that the engine burns, because the capacity of 1.5 liters can work quickly. Although the ceramic finish is easy to clean, it is difficult to dismantle. You will want to clean it once a week to prevent it from becoming viscous, and you have to change the filtered Once a month. —Simon Hill
Petkit Eversweet Solo 2 for $ 50: I love three key characteristics of this fountain: the bowl is on a wireless load base, so you don’t have to play with cables, it is super easy to clean, and it is very calm at around 25 decibels. A flashing light warns you when the water is low, and you can check when the filter must be modified in the application. There is an optional intelligent mode that pumps intermittently and a night mode to turn off the light. Pleasantly, our three cats drink from this fountain, although it means that I have to fill it often, because it only contains 2 liters. Unfortunately, the filters are very expensive to $ 20 for five. —Simon Hill

Fountaine of Cat Mate pets at 3 levels for $ 28: This large automatic cat fountain is distinguished with three levels for cats that like to drink at all levels. Cleaning the engine requires disassembly using prolonged tools and soaking. Due to the long distance that water must browse, evaporation has made the water recharge every two days. Plastic also houses bacteria and previous plastic models that I had had mold problems. The pool is quite large and is flat. For this reason, some debris sat down at the bottom and at the front of the large pool rather than returning to the filter system behind. The plastic material and the lack of ergonomic gravity design made this fountain darker than the others.
Fontaine de Cat from free autumn of Whisker City for $ 40: This huge fountain is better suited to dogs – with a large bowl at 150 fluid and a cascade design. Although the basin has a small splash cushion to help compensate for the noise of the waterfall, it was one of the most noisy fountains that I tested. The evaporation of the cascade type system also led me to fill it every two days. Due to the structure of the fountain, my cats had to fold my head at an annoying angle. They tended to avoid drinking in the pool because of this, and their heads were slightly wet of the waterfall splashes. The basin is not tilted either, so crumbs and debris are seated at the bottom of the bowl.
PETSNOWY SNOW + FOUNTAINE OF Automatic pet water for $ 55: The Snow Fountain + Automatic Petsnowy is very simple – it is a curved square design where water is pumped through a hole in the top and residual water is bike through a circular filter system. This fountain is connected to an application that does not do much but acts as a reminder to clean it, and it has a countdown for the moment when the filter must be replaced. Unlike the others on this list, this fountain does not really have a higher tank to store water in the event of power failure – when it is disabled, very little water remains in the upper area. The filling is a little delicate without removing the top, and the water has often overturned.
Petkit Eversweet Solo SE for $ 27: This very simple and direct fountain has a square body, is translucent to easily see the water levels from the outside and has a wireless pump of 25 almost silent decibels to circulate the water from the basin at the upper level, where 60 milliliters of water is always available to drink, even in the case of a power failure. The basin is on a base and all the parts are easily detached, which makes it easier to clean. This fountain does not have several modes or an associated application – you will need to manually check the water levels. I noticed that this fountain was not as cold as some of the others, and because of the top design, the debris often gathered in the soaked areas, which made me clean it often.
Cats sometimes find it difficult to consume enough water, which can potentially lead to Mortal use And blockages in male cats in particular. This is one of the reasons why veterinarians turn more towards the encouragement of owners to give their cat at least one diet partially humid, as it helps them consume more humidity, especially since cats do not consume naturally as much water as dogs. Unlike dogs, cats are generally quite special in their tastes and aversions, and cats can see stagnant water as potentially harmful. (If the cat was in nature, stagnant water has more potential for harmful bacteria). Cats are more attracted by water in motion in nature, and these fountains help to encourage them to drink more by emotional to which they are naturally attracted.
Let’s be honest, many of these fountains are almost the same. I specially looked for the global design – I am a demon for stainless steel due to the porous plastic potential carrying harmful bacteria. I also prefer a large tank without high sides to help reduce the chances Mustache fatigue. I prefer fountains which have a small tank of water pool available at any time, in case of low water levels or power failure. I took into account the ease of implementation, filling and cleaning, as well as global design. And of course, there were that my cats took immediately, and some did not seem to favor as much.
After prolonged tests, I now look for these three things and I also encourage you: a wireless pump for easier cleaning (and safer), built in stainless steel, so it is more hygienic and a window to monitor water levels (especially if it is not connected to an application).
Although automatic water fountains are better for overall water consumption of your cats, they require a little more work and money. Rather than filling a bowl, they take a little more elbow fat, but it is worth it for the health of your cat. In addition to the filling and routine cleaning, you will have to dismantle the fountain to clean all the parts, including using a brush for the bowl and the tubes. You may also need to dismantle the engine in depth due to mineral accumulation. These also have different types of filtration cartridges in specific forms for the brand’s fountains, which force you to buy and modify filters, generally monthly but sometimes more often.
