PETKIT Eversweet 3 Pro Stainless Steel Dog & Cat Wireless Pump/UVC, 1.8L

My cats like to pee on the side of the litter box, which means they sometimes pee where the sphere comes together, and then pee leaks into the gear mechanism. So far it hasn’t affected the functionality but I’m sure it will eventually. I’ve had to use tape over the seem to try to mitigate the issue, which works for the most part. Other than that, it frequently doesn’t go into the “add litter mode” so it needs to be unplugged, to reset, or else it will assume there is a cat inside. I appreciate the fact that I don’t have to scoop litter daily, and that it fits in a relatively small space, but the amount of fiddling that goes into it is rather annoying.

The height is great for my 8 lb and 15 lb dogs. Cleaning is a breeze, I use a straw cleaning brush to get into all the areas. One downside is cleaning the pump every week, but I have a solution. Buy an extra pump and just swap the extra clean one on when it’s time to clean the soiled pump. Also the app sets reminders so you never forget.

I like the fact that it uses magnetic induction to run the motor and charge the battery. My original unit needed to have a power cord snaked through a grommet. The impeller can be removed for cleaning. The filter system is well designed, a filter on pump and large filter under the drinking area where the great debris might gather. I don't understand why it needed an app, but I was able to program it for the fountain to toggle on and off. Three minutes running, three minutes off. This saves bit of power but allows some interest for my kitties. They drink from it which is the important thing. I've only had this a short time so I can't write of its longevity. I'm giving it four stars instead of five because I haven't had it long enough to write of its reliability.
