We purchased this fountain because it’s stainless steel. We have 7 cats and put out 4 water bowls, then clean and refill daily. Often the cats will touch the water with their paw to create ripples before they drink. We have one cat loves to drink out of the faucet so we thought his would be purrfect. It is very quiet and all of the cats are curious, some drink from the bowl, as there is always ripples and others from the spout. It’s very attractive with the blue light in the sight window showing the water level. We have a 120v duplex receptacle above their feeding pad so we use the supplied 5v transformer plug to power the fountain.

Love this! My elderly cat decided he no longer liked the bubble up type fountain he had been using. He started insisting I turn on the bathroom faucet. Can’t run that all day, so I did a search and found this faucet type. He drinks out of it no problem. It’s easy fill and monitor the water level through the window. Easy to clean (usually every two weeks). The filters are not falling apart or shedding. Some scum does get built up on the inside, but that expected when there is water running through it 24/7. If I still had my other 5 (children) with me I would definitely purchase a couple more!

Why didn't I buy this sooner? It's whisper quiet, and my cats are drinking more water than they ever have before. It's made a big difference in their digestion. They're going more regularly (and it's not those little constipated nuggets, but actual poops), and their fur looks shinier and healthier overall. I've noticed they're more playful too, probably because they just feel better. Just make sure you clean it every few days, since it can get pretty gross in there if you leave it too long, especially with cat hair and dust. Totally worth it!
