Product Description
Give your pet a fresh source of water to nourish their delicate bodies. Simply filling a bowl with water isn't enough because standing water does not circulate and becomes stagnant. The Catit Fresh Clear Drinking Water Fountain for Cats offer a re-circulating flow of cool, purified and oxygenated water that is beneficial to your cat's health. Drinking more fresh water helps prevent crystal formation in normal bowls that can lead to urinary diseases. This product can be safely plugged into the nearest outlet with a 12v adapter. Water is quietly pumped through a carbon filter for purification and out through a fountain head at the top which then trickles water over a dome. The constant circulation of water means that more oxygen gets into the water and a cooling effect takes place. This model is compact and easy to move around, designed with small cats in mind. These beneficial features encourage your pet to drink more and makes the fountain an investment in the health of your pet.

 I'm Completely Dissatisfied November 23, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I can't believe others like this thing. I ordered it from Petco because it was on sale and had positive reviews. I set it up and it leaked a little water right away. I cleaned the water up and it seemed okay for a bit, but eventually leaked again and again. The leaks are intermittent, but kept coming back until finally it leaked enough that water ran off the waterproof mats I put down and onto the floor. That was the last straw. br /br /Even if this thing didn't leak, I don't think my cats would use it. The filter really just causes the water to bubble a bit at the top. This is not enough to attract the cats, yet because of the poor design it does cause enough water movement that I think it would be difficult for the cats to drink out of it without getting water up their nose.br /br /I can't remember the last time I've been this unhappy with a product. It's going back to Petco right away. Learn from my mistake and don't waste your money on this junk.
Better than the older version, filter not quite perfect. November 22, 2008

For two years, I used the large Hagen Catit "bubble-dome" water system (that they still make and sell). The pump gave out on it, and when I went to order a new one, I saw this new, smaller version and gave it a try.br /br /My cat was already used to drinking from a dome fountain, so he immediately adjusted to this new model. Although this version holds less water than the old version (64oz vs. 100oz), the water seems to evaporate more slowly, and thus it lasts almost as long between refills (although I live in Arizona, where things evaporate very quickly). The actual pump is exactly the same as the one found in the old model, and it is very quiet (although you can hear a slight "hum"). br /br /My only complaint is with the filter. Inside of this device is a circular filter that is supposed to fit snugly against the inside walls. The water comes up from the bottom of the feeder, out the top of the dome, then drips down the sides of the dome and back inside through some holes around the outside edges. The problem is that the filter doesn't quite reach the edges of the feeder, and when the water drips back inside, much of it flows through the small space between the filter and the inside wall of the feeder. I wish the filter was made slightly larger in order to minimize this gap and to make sure that all of the water flows through the filter. br /br /*****************br /br /Update: After a brief power outage, I realized one important thing: Unlike many of the other water fountains for pets, if the power goes out, there is NO WATER available for the pet to drink from this model. If you leave for a day or two, or are in an area that may get power outages, be sure to leave out a separate dish of water.

I JUST BOUGHT THIS YESTERDAY I ACTUALLY GOT IT AT PETCO WHERE IT WAS ON SALE FOR $20, AND IT TOOK A COUPLE TIMES OF MY CATS WALKING UP TO IT AND SNIFFING IT, BEFORE THEY REALIZED IT WAS SAFE, IT MAKES A LIL HUMMING SOUND, LIKE A FISH AQUARIUM, I ACTULLY MOVED IT INTO THE SINK CAUSE MY CATS LOVE RUNNING WATER SO THEY JUMPED UP AND NOW WITH NO HESITATION ARE DRINKING FROM IT, ALSO IT HOLDS ALOT OF WATER AND IS VERY ICE COLD AND CONSANTLY FLOWING, MUCH BETTER THAN OTHER PET FOUNTAINS I'VE TRIED, SO GLAD I BOUGHT IT I LOVE IT, AND SO DOES MY "BOYS"
Possibly an improved model... August 26, 2008

We have 2 cats who used to use the other Catit model drinking fountain (Hagen Catit Drinking Fountain (14''x10''x7'' - drinking fountain)). They loved it--or at least I assumed they did because they drank a lot more water than they did before. The only problem was that the unit began to have problems after about a year or so.br /br /This smaller Catit model seems to have improved upon the flaws that the other model had:br /br /1) Quiter - all you can hear is a very dull hum of the motor. No trickling water noises or faulty pumps.br /2) Smaller - more compact and easier to maneuver around.br /3) Easier to refill - no risk of overflowing, and there's even a visible gauge on it that shows the water level so you know when to refill.br /4) Cleaner - the lip around the top is much taller than the larger model, making it a lot harder for water to splash out of it. br /br /The unit still has a dome inside that water trickles over, making it just as appealing as the larger model. Our cats love it and probably feel spoiled. The good thing is that they're drinking a lot of water that's filtered, cold, and never goes stagnant. If you love your pets as much as I do, this is a great investment to make!

In my quest to find a good moving water source for my cat Socks, I tried the water fountain by model by Catit, but was not impressed by the noise of the pump or the flow of water, which continually ended up on the floor. The other medium flow Petmate didn't leak, but was just as noisy. I was a bit frustrated by my luck with these fountains as many reviewers had given such great ratings, particularly with the noise level - Maybe I got some lemons? Anyway...br /br /This cylinder style model works great, and the water reserve is very large. The setup is much simpler than both of the previous fountains I tried, takes up less space and in my opinion is actually esthetically pleasing compared to the others. br /br /It was very quiet as soon as I plugged it in, just a slight hum from the pump, which was virtually silent, something I could easily live with being that my house is very small (775sq).br /br /My cat loves it, and is drinking WAY more than he would with just a bowl of water. I continually gave him fresh water throughout the day, but he is just not interested. Anyway, we're both happy with this product. I recommend it, good luck.
