This cat fountain features food-safe ceramic construction that's easy to clean, stays hygienic longer and won’t retain odours that discourage your cat from drinking. Designed to uniquely combine style, hygiene, and health. The gentle flowing water design taps into cats' natural instincts – cats prefer moving water like streams and rivers because it's fresher, more oxygenated and safe. Our fountain recreates this, encouraging increased water consumption that’s essential for kidney health, urinary tract health, and overall vitality. Measuring a compact 25cm long, this slimline pet fountain holds 800ml (27 USoz) - perfect for single cats or small multi-cat households without overwhelming your space. The advanced 3-stage filtration system ensures every sip is appealing: the pre-filter traps dirt and fur, the ion exchange resin helps prevent harmful scaling deposits, and the activated carbon removes chlorine and odours. USB power eliminates bulky adapters and allows flexible placement. Dishwasher-safe components ensure effortless maintenance and with comprehensive warranties (3 years on the fountain, 12 months on the pump), this fountain combines hassle free maintenance with the hydration support your cat needs to thrive. The fountain operates virtually silently thanks to the high-quality pump design. You and your cat can enjoy peaceful hydration without any disruptive noise. What's included? The fountain includes the ceramic base and lid, silicon band for top of ceramic base, pump, 3m USB cable, one replacement filter and setup instructions.

Clean the pump impeller and housing. Check the USB power source for adequate output. Ensure the filter is not saturated or blocked. Try a different USB cable or power adapter.
The fountain is making unusual noise.
Ensure the pump is fully submerged and not drawing air. Check that all components are assembled correctly and the lid is seated properly. Clean the pump and check for any debris that might be causing vibration.
Water appears cloudy or has an odor.
