A cat will not tell you it stopped drinking.
The Fountain. 1.8 gallons of moving water in 304 stainless, a pump the supplier rates under 35 decibels, and a window in the side so you can read the level without lifting anything.
Ships from a US warehouse. Three to eight days to your door, handling included. Nothing is pre-ticked on this page.
There are 20 of these in the warehouse today. That is the real number, not a banner. When they are gone this page says sold out until the next lot lands.
A fountain lives where you sleep.
Almost every one star review of a pet fountain is about noise, not water. The pump on this one is rated under 35 decibels. Drag it and hear where that actually sits.
That 35 is the supplier’s figure, measured on their bench and not on ours. The reference points on the dial are ordinary published levels for everyday sounds.
One spout, two flows.
Some cats will only drink from a falling stream. Some are put off by the splash and want a still, moving surface. The outlet swaps between the two without tools.
Plastic holds on to things.
A plastic bowl develops fine scratches, and a scratched surface is somewhere for a film to sit. Stainless scrubs back to bare metal, which is the whole reason this one costs what it does.
We are not going to tell you stainless cures feline acne. There is a popular claim that plastic bowls cause it, and the evidence for that is thinner than the internet suggests. What we will say is that stainless is easier to get properly clean, and that is worth paying for on something that holds standing water for a fortnight.
Not behind a tab.
Including the rows where the supplier’s own paperwork disagrees with itself. We would rather show you the hole than paper over it.

Four reasons not to buy this.
If one of these is a dealbreaker, we would rather you found out here than after a seven pound parcel arrives.
We cannot sell you filters.
This is the honest hole in the product and it is the first thing on the list. We have not found a replacement cartridge for this fountain that we can actually ship, so we are not pretending there is a subscription. If that matters to you, and it reasonably might, buy a fountain whose filters you can find.
It is a mains powered appliance.
It runs on a USB adaptor and it needs a socket near the bowl. In a power cut the pump stops and it becomes a large still water bowl, which is fine, but it is not a feature and we are not going to dress it up as one.
Nobody has measured the noise but them.
The under 35 decibels is the supplier’s bench figure. We have not put a meter on one. Pumps also get louder as they scale up, so the number you get in month six depends on whether you actually clean it.
It is not made by us.
We do not own a factory. We went looking for a stainless fountain already being made properly, read its sheet, published the numbers including the ones that disagree, and we will tell you the day we find better.
