Drinkwell Seascape Ceramic Dog & Cat Fountain, 70-oz

This is a pretty nice fountain. It's fairly quiet, heavy enough that my cat can't tip the water out, easy to clean. Got this back in September, and really liked it, but... a few days ago, I come out to my living room in the morning to find water EVERYWHERE, clearly leaking from the fountain. The vertical tube that takes water up into the globe had snapped (no idea how), and the water was draining out through the bottom. It didn't cause too much damage, thankfully, but now I'm left with a fountain I spent a LOT of money on that lasted... two months? And on top of that, it turns out that finding a food-safe glue for repair that'll survive in water is hard! I'd like to hope that mine was This is a pretty nice fountain.

I'd like to hope that mine was defective and weak or something, because this thing is way too pricey for something that regularly breaks after two months of use.

I bought this fountain for use on an outside, covered patio. It's very quiet which is great as I have one dog who is very sound sensitive. All 3 of my cockers use it with no problems. I removed the charcoal filter as other reviewers suggested. It works better without it and I put filtered water in the fountain. I refill it about every other day and wash weekly in the dishwasher. We're six months in and I'm very pleased.

I was hesitant to purchase this fountain after the fiasco of purchasing a plastic one that would develop a slimy, pink film within two days of cleaning. I read many of the reviews before making the purchase and looked at MANY fountains. Most of the reviews for this fountain were good, some not so. I was hoping my cat who is not a fan of water would use it. He was never much of a water drinker, but stopped drinking water altogether after the plastic fountain disappointment. To date, he has not drank out of the Seascape fountain in my presence, but has been curious enough to come by to smell it. Maybe I just haven't caught him using it yet :).

My other cat, who is a water drinker, was initially fearful as he is about everything, but within a few hours he began to use it. He drinks from it multiple times a day. He drinks from the base, the top of the fountain and as the water is rolling down the dome, so it seems to be a hit with him. As for me, although I've only had it for a couple of weeks, I give it two thumbs up. As many others have mentioned, I like that it is easy to clean. There are no unreachable, intricate parts that cannot be cleaned. You can buy a small brush to clean it, but not necessary. A flexible sponge will suffice. It maintains the water fresh for a long time. The filters don't need to be changed as often. Yes, you do need to buy two filters which will add to your pet's expenses, however as I mentioned the filters don't need to be changed as often as with other fountains. A week after I received it, I cleaned the fountain, without changing the filters. I wanted to see if there was any build up anywhere, and to my surprise the water didn't feel slimy and there was no build up. It does have a plastic piece that encases one of the filters, but it can be easily cleaned. It is obviously a little heavier with water, and it is a little tricky to get it to the sink without spilling water, as the water level needs to be maintain to prevent the motor from being damaged. It a VERY QUIET fountain, which I love, and it is soothing to look at. Even if your pet doesn't use it, the fountain has a simple design that can function as decoration. I'm happy with it, and best of all, at least one of my cats is using it. … more

I was looking for a filtered water system that provides constant fresh flowing water ever sense I seen there was such thing. I was tired of dust, and water looking dissatisfying. Even if I changed the water everyday dust would manage to make its way to the bowl. This water system is exactly what I was looking for. It’s as quiet as I’d hoped it be. You don’t hear a sound. Also, I was inspired to get it once I seen the way the water comes out. It won’t scare your cats.My kit Chanman loves to lick the condensation of a cold water bottle, so I knew this product would resemble that perfectly, and allow him to do that everyday. He already loves it! And loves licking the water from the ball, exactly I was looking for a filtered water system that provides constant fresh flowing water ever sense I seen there was such thing.

I’ve been through 3 other fountains before purchasing this one. I never saw my cat drink so much!! I just thought that she doesn’t like drinking or needed it so much, but obviously she loves water because she’s drinking so much more! I put ice cubes in it once a day so it’s really crispy cold and she really loves that! This fountain is worth every penny!

Very pleased with this fountain! It's absolutely silent, easy to put together (just go step-by-step with the instructions) and a very nice size and nice to look at. Kitty is still kind of ignoring it, but that has nothing to do with the fountain, it has to do with she's a cat!! LOL Even if she doesn't end up using it, will probably just turn it into a nice home fountain.

I have 2 senior kitties, and the eldest (14) has been drinking less and less as he’s aged. Fortunately, he really likes the fountain! He drinks from where the water comes out of the top, and sometimes licks the sides of the round section like it was an ice cream cone! So cute! He’s definitely getting more water. The other kitty is less enthusiastic about the fountain. He uses it, but unless I change the water daily (which is a bit of a pain to carry when it’s full), he goes back to his old water dish and the toilet. Ugh. So partial success overall, but terrific for the eldest.

Bought this as a way to get my cats to have even more water. It blends with the decor, is easy to asssemble and maintain, and has not had anything issues thusfar. Would definitely recommend.

This is my new favorite “go to” pet fountain! It is aesthetically pleasing to look at, effective, and quiet (my favorite feature). I have tried other fountains in the past, but they each seem to have their own setbacks. Some were noisy, others were hard to clean, and a few were intimidating to the animal. The Seascape pet fountain is none of these. Upon opening the box, you will find the fountain well packaged. At first it may seem like a lot of parts, but the instructions are clear, concise, and after you assemble it, you will find that it is very easy.

On that same topic, you will find the fountain is easy to clean. It does not have a wealth of hard to get at nooks and crannies that many of the plastic fountains have. Once you get it up and running, you will love the fact that it runs very quiet. The water pumps up through the center of the orb in the middle of the dish, and it runs silently (and evenly) over the orb and down to the reserve in the dish. This will allow your pet, the option to decide on where he/she would like to drink the water. I have one single cat and she took to it right away. The flowing, and shimmering water took interest right away. She tried licking from the bowl, from the flow of water over the orb, and even directly from the hole where the water pumps out from. Her favorite it right from the orb, or sometimes right where the water comes out. She can get at it from any angle and she doesn’t have to reach far to get to her favorite spot. In addition, she never again has to worry about accidentally getting her head under the flow of water like she use to with the fountains that “pour” water into the bowl. The Seascape is a home run in my home! … more

Cats need something to stimulate the water and keep it fresh while working all day. Excited upon arrival but once put together it won't push the water out of the center chamber. Fill to close to top but isn't powerful enough to do what its supposed to do. Will try to exchange and see if new one is better. Maybe a defect. This picture was after 11 hrs of being on
