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

I really love this fountain. I have 12 cats (don't judge me, it was an accident. And I'm NOT addicted, I can stop anytime). I wanted them to have moving water to drink from since they all enjoy that but didn't know what fountain to buy - so I bought several different types.This one has been the best so far. It is one of the easiest to clean - not a lot of nooks and crannies in it that are difficult to get to. I have had it for 5 months so far and the pump is still working (24/7) and still making no noise. It has a large capacity, though with so many cats (even though there are several fountains around the house) I do have to put some water in it every day - they are all thirsty little buggers.I clean it about once a week to once every 2 weeks. It's fairly easy to tell when it wants cleaning, though, because the spigot will start running slower when the pump is getting clogged.I kind of wish it had a little LED light with the pump like some of the others (no good reason, it certainly doesn't need one, but I'm all about flash and glitter. What can I say?)The cats like being able to drink directly from the spigot as it comes out or drink from the water sitting in the tray.Unlike one or two people have mentioned, I have so far had no problem getting replacement filters (I order them from Amazon so maybe they were looking to buy them from a different source). Hopefully, that will continue to be the case. All in all, a happy purchase.UPDATE:My cats and I still love this fountain BUT we don’t love the “improvement” PetNF has made to the pump. I wanted to add another one of these fountains to my home so I ordered a second one. Since my first purchase PetNF has apparently “upgraded” the pump that they include with the fountain. It has a light (something I said I would have liked with the old one but this is a case of “be careful what you wish for”) but it also has a very undesirable feature. The new pump contains a black sponge filter at the front of the pump – not a bad idea perhaps but it’s just another thing that should be replaced over time as it degrades or becomes too dirty to rinse out properly. Unfortunately, it is impossible to find a replacement sponge. No one sells it - not even PetNF. I contacted them and was told they do not have them for sale. When I wrote to them about it, their response was (I copied this directly from their answering email) "We do not sell the black sponge separately. If there is any problem with the pump, we will send you a new one directly." I don't know if this means they are willing to send me a new pump every time the black sponge wears out (SOMEHOW I don't THINK so) so I'm not sure how they feel you are to proceed once your sponge becomes unusable beyond purchasing a whole new pump for $21.99. This was not a good product decision.You can, however, replace the pump entirely with an alternate pump that works with this fountain. It has no light in it but it also has no sponge. It is also not as costly as the PetNF replacement pump. At this writing (2022) it costs $9.99.

I absolutely love the fountain itself. The clear design and intent work perfectly, and my cat loves the trickling water that he can easily tell is clean. The unit was easy to put together and very easy to clean. When it is full, it is very quiet. When it starts to empty, you'll hear a telltale trickling water sound to signal that you should fill the unit back up before it goes below max water line.The Cons: The replacement products for this unit are expensive. When cleaning the unit after 3-4 months my pump died. I expected the replacement cost to be reasonable. However, the for the cost of one inferior pump I could have purchased a new water fountain. The pump replacement should not cost half of the cost of the original fountain. Otherwise, you would be buying a new fountain before 6 months just in replacements, and that doesn't financially make sense. I will say that after leaving my review Customer Service did reach out and let me know there was a warranty on the product, and that if I wanted I could get a replacement filter or refund. So, I will give them some stars back for effort.My recommendation: When you go to buy a replacement look for aquarium grade pumps that are far cheaper, come in multipacks, and last much longer. Check their reviews for the quality and length of time the pump lasts. You'll have to adjust the strength of the pump so the stream isn't gushing, but trust me your wallet will thank me later. I did this and haven't had any problems since and don't see myself needing anything other than filter replacements for the next year.Overall, amazing system. Bottom line, get your pumps elsewhere.
