Key cat fountain filters & pump considerations
Durability
A durable filter and pump will save you money in the long run as you won't have to constantly replace them. It's also important for the safety of your cat, as a malfunctioning pump or filter can potentially harm them.
Filter Efficiency
This is important because it determines how well the filter can remove impurities and debris from the water, ensuring that your cat has clean and safe drinking water.
Noise Level
Cats are sensitive to loud noises, so it's important to consider the noise level of the filter and pump. A quiet filter will not disturb your cat and will make it more likely for them to use the fountain.
Pump Power
The pump power is crucial as it determines the flow rate of the water, which can affect how much your cat drinks. A stronger pump can also help prevent clogging and keep the water fresh.
