PETNFTransparent 3L/101oz Pet Water Fountain - Automatic Cat & Dog Dispenser with LED Light, Ultra Quiet Pump, 3 Flow Modes & 2 Filters

So... I have two Euro Norwegian Forrister and Main Coon Mix cats.. they are big boys from the same litter.. if you know those breeds... basically their coat is waterproof.. They love water..3-ish years ago- give or take.. I bought this same fountain. Loved it. The kittens loved it. They play with the water fall spout quiet alot..Then I moved across the world again.. and I suppose somewhere when shipping my things the moter of the old one finally stopped working.. so I decided to buy a new one since the kittens don't really care for a traditional water bowl cause they are too posh for that.. lolDidn't expect any difference really... got the blue one instead because well.. I didn't remember them having that before.. Didn't expect any changes..The changes!So in the photo of both on the table; The top one is the old one, ignore the grime.. The bottom Blue one is New.. the blue one has a single hole vs the pokadots of the top one. Other than that... in the photo of the back lid and spouts, you can also see where- in the old one on the left, there is a large cut out.. in the new blue one on the right there is a tiny sculpted cut out... that makes a HUGE difference seeing as it is the hole for the cord and with the old one you could just spill water out of it if you were not careful..BUT... That Motor though...This is where they show true improvement..The Motor on the left- the smaller gross one, is the old one and the bigger one on the right is the new one.. now the old one... it wasn't terrible and was a trooper.. I have very fluffy cats with long fur.. I remember it stopping about once a month or more and needing to be fully cleaned.. not horrible and has lasted a long time..The NEW one though.. it now houses a filter sponge which.. is awesome.. and it has a light indicator for water levels on the back.. seems just as easy if not easier to clean because of the filter but this is a really cool improvement..Now I'm not sure if this is simply because I got the blue one for like 2 dollars more but it seems to be a pretty significant upgrade and I very much appreciate it. These are functional upgrades for the sake of the user and I appreciate when companies do that.. it shows that they listen.. or at least, improve things..Otherwise, it's dead silent, say for the occasional water drip here or there.. which is mindless.. you don't notice it, and it tends to act just like the old one.. or any other water fountain.. can't yet speak for the longevity of the new blue one but.. seems improved so.. that's awesome..If you have a medium or small size pet.. this one is nice. Gives them a decent pool up top and houses a larger amount of water than most.. They have two ways of drinking.. or playing (the spout or the bowl).. the plastic is nice, I've found the other styles of plastic- the gray fountain ones- those corrode and stay corroded.. it like- eats away at the plastic and looks terrible. This one does not! Any of the grime you see on the old one can easily be washed away.. it's just a better plastic I suppose.. I've even put the old one in the dishwasher before and it's been fine..Both old and new came with a pipe cleaner and filters which is nice.So in conclusion, if you're thinking of buying a Fountain for your pet. This one has my approval.. DO IT..(Not sponsered- though I feel lame needing to state that..) lol

The media could not be loaded. This was a great value with a simple, reliable design. You must clean the filter regularly -- for me that means rinsing it out under a strong flow of hot water every couple of weeks, and then replacing the filter with a new one after 1-2 rinsings (if you can feel the filter's weight after rinsing, it's time to replace it).After four months, my pump stopped working. I downloaded the PDF manual from the Amazon website which gave me a QR code to contact the seller. They were very responsive and provided me with a MP4 video (attached) which I used to clean and restore the pump (cat hair in the impeller) using the supplied pipe cleaner.Also, remember to register your purchase to extend your 12 month warranty another six months!

I would have given this 5 stars if all parts were easier to clean, but the spout is nearly impossible to clean fully. The brush doesn't reach everything. I have to soak it and run hot water through it. It looks ok after, but I still don't feel like it's really clean. Also bought some additional brushes. It comes with one, but it isn't adequate for cleaning all parts. I bought two of these fountains and they both lasted almost exactly 3 years, dying within two weeks of each other. I have two other types of fountains. One of my cats likes these best. The other two seem to like them all equally even though I spent a lot more for a ceramic one, thinking the water might taste better from ceramic, but the cats don't seem to notice. As inexpensive as they are I could replace them every year, so I will probably keep at least one of these around since it's the favorite of one of the cats. Also I love it that I can see how much water is in the tank and if I'm not paying close enough attention the light turns red to let me know it's low. Runs very quietly.
