CUSTOMER REVIEW

review

Given the price of this product, I figured it was a fairly low risk entry point in the world of cat fountains. Sadly, the price was reflective of the quality.



The product is just as pictured. It comes in 3 pieces - the main plastic basin, a second plastic riser/basin, and a frog which sits upon the second piece. Water is sucked through a motor hidden below the riser and is pushed through a tube and out the frog's mouth. The motor is adjustable, with 3 power settings and the package comes with two carbon filters.



It took some work out of the box to adjust the rubber tubing running through the frog to ensure that water was getting pushed through. Even with adjustment, quite a bit of water leaks into the small elevated basin below the frog. It is worth mentioning that the frog is made of hollow plastic and is thus prone to mildew.



The fountain dispenses into a small dish, it was not wide enough to allow our cat to drink from the bowl without being splashed by the stream. For this reason our cat would barely approach the fountain except to occasionally drink from the VERY shallow top reservoir.



The motor is noisy and can be heard humming over the sound of the splashing water, it began malfunctioning about 2 weeks after purchase. The fountain stopped spouting, no matter the setting, and was very loud even on low. After disassembling the motor and cleaning out the fountain, the noise was reduced, but waterflow could not be returned to normal. The best flow I could get was a stream into the top basin on the high setting and a dribble down the frog's chin on both medium and low.



This fountain was a waste of time and money. Our cat wouldn't go near it, it molded quickly, and then it broke. Save yourself and your pet the frustration - skip this item.
