Cat water fountain does everything it’s supposed to do, however the cat flatly refuses to drink from it. Leaving it in place for summer when it’s hot, may be the cat will use it then.
I put this together and felt the motor clips and attachments seemed a little fragile as far as the plastic materials and how the parts are built. The plastic parts holding things together and so on look a bit delicate. I am wary about water getting into the motor as well. I had to be very careful and when you put it in and take it out of the bowl with the water and attach the cables for power and sensor I am careful as you get water on the floor and though I pull plug out of wall socket first I worry. Anyway it works well and I bought all extra parts to have on hand if needed down the track. The bowl is a good size and once full it cannot be pushed around or over. It is suited to more than one cat or a dog. I changed the water after 2-4 days rather than the specified 2 weeks but not the filter pad. It just seemed too long as we walk past it all the time. Also the sensor is not satisfactorily staying attached with the suction cap to anything and I use new packing tape every couple of days to stick it to the doorbell plug! You can see in photo it does not stay stuck flush onto it. This is problematic as it has fallen down a couple of times completely. It does allow you to attach it with a groove built into it at the back (a bit like photo frames or some clocks have) to a hook but I cannot place one in the wall. The Only place I could have it is hallway. The disappointing thing is the cat was approaching it with a suspicious stalking like apprehension for a few days and like a loon I got down and imitated lapping up water while she watched…no doubt thinking my human has lost her mind! 2-3 weeks after she still has not had a drink. I am wondering whether I should try removing the curved tap spout and if water is running lower from the outlet into the bowl lid maybe she will feel better about it but she is not used to running water and will even drink stale water outside before I replace it in her bowls! She still drinks from her inside bowls.
I replace her water daily, morning and night. I am afraid to remove them in case she still does not drink from the fountain. I am going to leave it there and hope she eventually tries it.
I like it , convenient ! Cat likes it ! Doesn’t have to wait for faucet to be turned on !!
Water fountain easy to clean and the cat’s are definitely drinking more water
Good quality drinking fountain and our cat took to it immediately
