About this deal

The best cat water fountains provide fresh running water for a week or more, employ smart filtration systems, don’t have a lot of fiddly parts, and are a cinch to clean. How We Tested: How often you need to buy a new carbon filter varies based on the quality of the prefilter. So, a unit with a poorly-designed or nonexistent prefilter may translate to more frequent filter replacement. Operating Noise It can be a struggle to keep cats hydrated—dry diets and a low thirst drive combine to make cats under-hydrated and prone to urinary tract stones and other complications of inadequate water intake. When you add on the fact that many cats view their water bowls as dirty, stagnant puddles, chronic dehydration becomes almost inevitable.

They’re made from hygienic materials. Stainless steel and ceramic are non-porous and less likely to capture bacteria, making them the cleanest materials for water fountains. Other materials—namely plastic—may collect bacteria, promote chin acne, and might need to be cleaned more frequently. Additionally, it has been noted that the setup instructions aren’t translated into English particularly brilliantly and it can cause a little confusion in the first instance – but rest assured, there is plenty of easily-accessible advice (including video walkthroughs) online. Should you buy Petkit Smart Pet Drinking Fountain?Compared to the white or gray plastic of the other fountains on this list, the Pioneer Pet Raindrop tends to show dirt more easily. After just hours of use, I noticed smudges and smears on the high-gloss surface. My “dream” fountain would be a cordless with a long-lasting filter (esp. a filter sensor). I am looking at Petkit Eversweet in smart mode for the filter longevity aspect, but I do have two cats now. Also, looking at the NPET since I can see the water and it mentions filter lasting two months. Oh yeah – a stainless steel or non-lead ceramic drinking tray would be nice too. Remember to make sure you are good with the cost of the replacement filters. With a 70-ounce water capacity, this fountain is on the smaller side, but it’s large enough to satisfy the needs of most cat-only households. What We Liked:

This ultra-quiet water fountain is one of the most affordable choices on this list and an all-around good option for budget pet owners. It’s the only water fountain on this list with a three-year warranty, giving you peace of mind in case something goes wrong years down the road. It’s made from BPA-free plastic but doesn’t have the robust feel of the Eversweet 2 or the Catit Flower Fountain. Instead, the plastic is lightweight and slightly flexible. On the whole, the Petkit Smart Pet Drinking Fountain is received very well by its customers – by cats, dogs, and their owners!Though the Petlibro is one of the more expensive options we’ve reviewed, we love how easy it is to set up and maintain. The transparent tank makes it easy to monitor the water level and we appreciate its quiet performance as well. What We Liked: When hygiene is a priority, stainless steel water fountains like this one are your best option. Compared to plastic, stainless steel is less likely to collect bacteria and other contaminants. When it gets scummy, the fountain is a cinch to disassemble and safe to pop into the dishwasher, making cleaning almost completely effortless for cat owners. They’re easy to disassemble for cleaning. You’ll want to wash your cat’s water fountain once every couple of weeks. The best ones make this chore as easy as possible. We looked for fountains that had relatively simple designs, didn’t have a lot of parts that could accumulate dirt, and were easy to break down when it’s time to clean. Ideally, they’re dishwasher-safe so you can pop them into the dishwasher and know you’re getting a complete clean.

In terms of setup and maintenance, the Petlibro is very easy to set up. Its unique design makes it easy to refill without having to completely disassemble it. You simply remove the filter and water trays, then carry the unit to the sink to refill. The Pioneer Pet Raindrop was the outlier in this test. After running all night, the fountain looked the same as it did at the beginning of the test—the hair was still floating in the drinking bowl. Of the water fountains on this list, the Cat Mate is the easiest to assemble and break down. In our tests, it took just 1 minute and 30 seconds to get the Cat Mate set up and running. With just two plastic parts and almost effortless disassembly, this water fountain is a breeze to break down and wash. It’s dishwasher-safe and its moderately-sized square pieces fit easily in the dishwasher. The Cat-It recommends that you dump the water and clean it twice weekly fyi. I don’t typically do this, but top up the water over two-three weeks before changing. I’m never sure if I am changing the filter frequently enough, but the cats drink from it and no one has died (or gotten ill) so what I’m doing must be okay.Though it’s not noiseless, the Catit Flower Fountain is a quiet unit. The motor produces a faint, almost imperceptible hum. Although this pet fountain is fairly simple in design, it does offer one unique feature which sets it apart from the others on this list – it comes with three flow modes. Choose from a standard waterfall, a bubbling fountain, or a three-way leaf design that produces separate streams. With all of these options, you can customize the NPET fountain according to your cat’s preferences. All the monitoring and control you’d ever want for your litter boxes and some details that are not even presented in the PetKit app.

In terms of setup and maintenance, the NPET fountain took a little longer to put together, but only because the pictures in the manual were very small and a little difficult to decipher. The unit was up and running in a little over three minutes and, once it was, it was incredibly easy to refill – you just pop the top piece off and refill it in the sink. After hours of research and hands-on testing, we’ve chosen the Petkit Eversweet 2 as the overall best cat water fountain you can buy. With helpful indicator lights, dishwasher-safe construction, quiet operation, and a three-level filtration system, the Petkit Eversweet 2 is a smart, efficient fountain.I created a sample Python script to demonstrate the decoding of the bytes, and how to derive other information (i.e. today’s purified water or energy usage) from these values. For other models, there are some small differences in the interpretation. This elegant, low-slung water fountain has two drinking areas—a freshly-aerated pool and a bubbling river. It’s one of the smallest fountains on the list, carrying 60 ounces of water. This is plenty enough for one cat, but if you’d like a larger fountain, consider Pioneer Pet’s 96-ounce raindrop fountain. By virtue of its plastic construction, the fountain isn’t as hygienic as a ceramic or stainless steel unit. Though it’s easy to disassemble and easy to clean by hand, Catit doesn’t say the fountain is dishwasher-safe. Many customers, however, say they’ve successfully cleaned it in a dishwasher.
