A bowl sits still, collects a film of dust and fur by the afternoon, and gets walked past. A fountain keeps the water circulating: a small pump draws it up through a filter and lets it run back down over the top, so there is always a little flow to come to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is 304 stainless steel rather than plastic, which matters for something your cat puts its face into every day. Stainless steel doesn't hold onto smells or scratch the way plastic does, and it wipes clean. It holds 2.5 liters (84 oz), enough for a few days for one cat, or a household of them. A window on the side shows the water level, so you can see when it needs topping up without lifting the lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe filter is a layered pad of cotton, activated carbon and ion-exchange resin. It catches fur, food bits and the debris that would otherwise sit in the water. The pump is quiet enough for a bedroom. Four silicone feet keep it from sliding when a cat leans on the rim.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fountain, the pump, \u003cstrong\u003efour filters\u003c\/strong\u003e, a power adapter, a spout piece and a small cleaning brush. Four filters is about two months of changes, so you won't need to reorder straight away. When you do, the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cat-fountain-refill-filters\"\u003erefill 6-pack\u003c\/a\u003e adds six more filters and two pump sponges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEvery two weeks: unplug it, take it apart, rinse the bowl and lid, brush out the pump, and swap in a fresh filter. The maker rates the stainless parts as dishwasher-safe; the pump is not. Keep the water above the minimum line so the pump never runs dry, which is what wears them out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it will not do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt will not make a cat drink. Some take to it in an hour; some ignore it for a week before they trust it. Leaving the old bowl out next to it for the first few days helps. It will not stay clean by itself, because water that runs all day still needs the two-weekly clean. The filter is for fur and debris; it is not a water treatment system. And it needs to be plugged in: no power, no flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e304 stainless steel · 2.5L \/ 84oz · water-level window · 4 filters included · corded, with adapter · 7 × 7 × 5in\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"BOORCA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68098342125753,"sku":"a9f8333b-4622-465a-8679-0180b9795446","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/7143\/0073\/files\/83e9f5bb1cf320c8136e707748e3a17c.jpg?v=1793399031","url":"https:\/\/seravanti.com\/products\/stainless-cat-water-fountain","provider":"Seravanti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
