Pet Drinking Fountain

Best fountain ever.We have had ours for over 2 years now and my cat loves it!!It’s so quite you don’t even know it’s there, water level last a long time.Can get dirty but if you follow instructions and change filter and clean it once a month it’s truly worth it

This is the best pet fountain I’ve ever used bar none. I’ve had many pet children and gone through plastic, metal, ceramic, big name expensive brands and the cheapest I could find on Amazon.I splurged a little with this one, because I usually buy the cheapest one I can find that’s still good quality, expecting it to be thrown out for a new one within 3 months. I’ve always washed my fountains every week and could tell from the first wash that this one was awesome.I started with the Catit flower fountain, then a stainless steel, then ceramic, with different filters, pumps, and systems, and all of them had gross slimy water and sometimes even mold on the inside of the fountain by the end of a week. Sometimes my cat would even tell me before the week had passed by getting sick from the gross water :( And inevitably after a few weeks of use, the pump would be loud or clogged or stop working all together.When I cleaned this one for the first time, precisely at the one week mark for fear of leaving it any longer, it looked new. Clean clear water, no floating particles, no sliminess, and no buildup. The only areas I noticed ANYTHING on were the black sponges that had actually caught all the debris. The second time, I let it go for a week and a half with only water changes - no deep cleaning (which it says you can do). My cat was still thriving and drinking from it all the time after the nearly two week wait so I washed it, fully convinced it couldn’t still be clean, but got the same results as the first time! Crystal clear water with no slime, but more buildup on the black sponges - as there should be! They’re doing their job.It’s super easy to clean - takes me all of 10 minutes to completely disassemble and do a deep clean weekly even though they say you only have to once a month. I keep it on the intermittent mode to save some power and increase its lifecycle and my cat loves trying to figure out when it will turn back on.The cord completely disconnects from the unit and every part of the fountain, even the port, is water proof so it can be fully submerged when cleaned. It’s easy to clean without a brush, though you may need one to get into the fountain tube piece, and it’s super easy to put back together when you’re finished.It’s completely silent on all settings. I can never hear the pump or water trickling and only hear the intermittent flow kick back on when the water level gets lower.The only downside (if it can even be considered one) is that it does NOT come with the 5V USB wall plug that it specifies needing for the fountain to work. I got lucky and found one laying around that I’d gotten with something else and it works perfectly. Make sure you actually find a 5V box and not something lower (not enough power to work) or higher (too much power, gets hot, fry the fountain and kill it). I’ve never had the plug get hot and have it on an extension cord with some other things and have never had an issue.Long story short, this is excellent in all the ways a pet fountain can be, and 100% worth the money and care routine, which comes with any pet fountain. Get it!!

I bought this in Nov 23It is now July 24The fountain is alright - the cats love itIt gets DISGUSTING - lots of mildew buildup in all the little crevices of the different pieces - cant be good for the animalsI have to thoroughly clean it out each time I replace the water cause of how nasty it getsAlso - it wastes a TON of waterprly not a big deal if you just give tap water but I give my kittens spring water (bougie I know) but either way there's a lot of water leftover before the pump can get to itTo top it all offMine just now Failed to start up again after this last cleaning....Like it has to be cleaned - but apparently cant handle being cleanedThe motor should last years - not monthsand it should be engineered to handle routine cleanings since its necessaryI like the concept of the fountain and maybe theres better ones out therebut It is a huge hassle and not worth it if it breaks once a year... or more

Out of several cat fountains I've had from Amazon, Nugget is still working. Not only is it working, the filters are affordable and obtainable. Some other businesses selling these cheapie fountains fold and then you can't find the filters anymore. The design is easy to clean and replace the motor if needed, but I haven't had to do that in three years of owning this one. It really is silent until it runs out of water and then you have dry run protection. The fountain lets you know it needs more water, the lights will flash.

I saw this at a friend's house and immediately bought one for my 2 cats about 8.5 months ago on Amazon. I'd shopped for fountains before but they were always too ugly, complicated, and/or noisy! I even bought a different one and gave it away it was so loud. This fountain is super quiet (both the motor and the falling water are quiet. I don't need the sound of a waterfall in my house), attractive so it fits in with my living room decor without standing out, holds a lot of water, and allows me to give my cats premium bottled water without waste. Sadly, I'm leaving for an extended trip and desperately need it to work right now for the caretaker, but no matter how much I clean or replace the filter, the water doesn't have enough pressure any longer to go into the drinking tray. It just falls back down into the unit. I actually bought another one just now to come tomorrow since I'm leaving the following day and don't have time to shop/fix/call customer service, but I sure hope I don't have a similar experience with this new one. They are a bit pricey to be replacing every 9 months!
