Pioneer Pet Swan Cat Drinking Fountain, White

For those users who said it will mold right away,, that is gray clay from the filter. It’s ok, it’s not mold. However, if you don’t clean the bowl, it will get slimy. I use natural soap and a straw brush to clean the tube and motor. To minimize noise, I fill the water to the low line and set the motor to medium. There is no slashing(unless the cats do it). The noise from when the motor starts- that will stop shortly. Only when the water was too low, I could hear the motor. It’s been almost a year. My motor quit. I I have to replace it. My cats are definitely missing their fountain and asking for the sink to be turned back on. I recommend it. Your cats may take some time to get used to it.

Cat only went near it a couple times, stuck his head into the running stream of water and wouldn't go near it again. One week of use that the water was slimy and had to wash it and change filter, this even though cat didn't use it. After second week I found black mold on the underside on the spout. There is no way to clean up inside the spout - you need some special long brush that Chewy doesn't sell and the company website doesn't sell. Can't see up the spout and don't know if moldy or dirty. If there was mold at the base I assume the spout has mold. Not using it. Going back to a water dish I can easily change water in daily and see the condition of the water.

Our newly-adopted cat suddenly started jumping on the counter and standing by the sink, staring, calling, waiting for someone to turn on the faucet for him. It was adorable the first time, but then...a bit annoying and not the most convenient solution to make sure he drinks enough water. We got this swan since it looks the most like a faucet. Happy surprise: it is SO QUIET. I totally forget it is there until the cat starts drinking and it splashes. The cat loves it, it's super efficient, saves water, and saves us having to get up constantly and go to the sink. Everyone wins.

I read the reviews and thought I would try this for my 20 year old cat who I let drink from the sink since he was a kitten. Out of all of the fountains that I've owned, this one has a spout that looks closest to a sink. He still yells at me to lift him up to drink from the sink but I hear him drink from this fountain in the middle of the night when I'm sleeping instead of waking me up. It also has a piece near the motor that lets you adjust the water stream, I have it on the lightest flow in the photo. This, to me, is a great back-up to his obsession with the sink.

I bought this about 5 months ago for my two large cats (Maine Coon), because it was recommended to me by a friend. This is the first drinking fountain I have purchased for my cats. It took my cats quite a while, (~2 months) to get used to it and to figure out how to use it. The one cat will drink directly from the spout, and it is so cute! Only problem is that he splashes water all over, so I have to keep beach towel under the fountain. The other cat still hasn't figured out how to drink from it while it is running, he just dunks his head right under the flowing water. But he still likes to watch the water swirl around the bowl. The best part is: this fountain is completely silent! Other than I bought this about 5 months ago for my two large cats (Maine Coon), because it was recommended to me by a friend.

The best part is: this fountain is completely silent! Other than the occasional trickle of water, I completely forget this fountain is in the kitchen. Although, it will start to trickle water loudly if the filter and pump become clogged with hair or debris. * KEY TAKEAWAYS: Needs washing at least once a week. Make sure to give the pump a scrubbing too, with an old toothbrush or pipe cleaner. Tends to splash water when the cats drink, so keep a towel handy. I keep a large towel underneath the fountain. Takes a while for the cats to adjust to it. It took mine about 2 months to figure out how to use it. The other cat still hasn't figured it out. The water basin is a little small and might need refilling somewhat often, depending how quickly your pets drink from it. The filter and motor are prone to suck in a lot of hair, so be sure to take the fountain apart at least once a week to clean. The fountain becomes loud when the hair starts to clump. The spout is difficult to clean by hand, so purchase a long pipe cleaner to clean out the tube. Replacement T-shaped filters sold separately. Make sure to stock up so you can replace them as needed. … more

The fountain is SUPER QUIET or you can't hear it at all. When I didn't hook up the filter correctly the first time it was loud but doing it right will make any unwanted noise disappear. I see my fussy cat at the fountain more often than I ever at the water bowls I had for her. THANK YOU FOR THIS PRODUCT at a reasonable price! Wish it was ceramic glass or porcelain though.

I have purchased 2 of these waterers for my cats and both with regular filter changings and cleanings no longer work. The 1st one the pump went out completely and the 2nd one I bought from Chewy splashes water all about so I unplugged it until payday and can order a replacement. I will be going with another waterer all together. I really hate that they did not work out as they are nice to look at but honestly that is all they are.

Before I purchased this fountain, my kitty would always paw at the bowl and push it around to make it move before he would drink the water. Which resulted in puddles of water on the floor and me having to replace his water multiple times per day. The fountain has stayed in the exact same position I put it in since the day I gave it to him, and there hasn't been a drop of water on the floor! Its been fun to watch him drink from it and play with the water without making a mess. I love that I know he's drinking clean, filtered water. And the fact that it's almost completely silent is the cherry on top. You can just barely hear the motor if it's quiet in the house.

I have three cats and I could not be more thrilled with how well this water fountain works! I’ve had it for over a month and it’s awesome. All three cats drink from it happily and Im super happy with how quietly it runs. I think it’s a really great value as well, it seems to be just as good as a lot of more expensive fountains.

My cats live to drink from the kitchen sink but that's not always practical. I thought the shape of this water fountain would work perfectly. I turned out being 50% right. One cat has taken to it right away. The other has tested it out but still prefers the kitchen sink. He is an older cat so it might just take more time for him to adjust. Easy set up and is really quiet.
