Product Information

Full details

This Cat Mate 800ml USB Ceramic Cat Water Fountain is designed for cat owners seeking to improve their pet's hydration and overall health through continuous access to fresh, flowing water. Its key benefit is encouraging increased water intake, vital for kidney and urinary tract health, by mimicking natural water sources. A potential caveat is its 800ml capacity, which might require more frequent refills for larger multi-cat households. The fountain features a hygienic ceramic design, a 3-stage filtration system, USB power for flexible placement, and quiet operation.

FAQs

How often should I clean the fountain?

It is recommended to rinse the ceramic parts and pump weekly and perform a more thorough cleaning, including filter replacement, every 2-4 weeks. Daily checks of the water level are also advised.

What type of filters does this fountain use?

This fountain uses a 3-stage filtration system: a pre-filter, ion exchange resin, and activated carbon. Replacement filters can be purchased separately.

Is the ceramic material safe for my cat?

Yes, the ceramic is food-safe, non-porous, and designed to be hygienic and resist odors, ensuring your cat drinks safely.

Can I use this fountain for small dogs?

Yes, the fountain is suitable for small dogs as well as cats, provided their size and drinking habits are compatible with the 800ml capacity.

How long is the warranty period?

The fountain comes with a 3-year warranty on the main unit and a 12-month warranty on the pump.

Can the ceramic parts be washed in a dishwasher?

Yes, the ceramic base and lid are dishwasher-safe and can be placed on the top rack for easy cleaning.

What is the power source for the pump?

The pump is powered via a 3-meter USB cable, allowing for flexible connection to standard USB power adapters or ports.

Troubleshooting

Fountain is not dispensing water

Ensure the pump is submerged in water. Check that the USB cable is securely connected to both the pump and the power source. Clean the pump intake to remove any potential blockages.

Water flow is weak or inconsistent

Clean the pump thoroughly, paying attention to the impeller. Replace the filter if it is clogged. Ensure the water level is sufficient.

Fountain is making unusual noise

Check that the pump is correctly seated and fully submerged. Ensure no debris is caught in the pump. A properly functioning pump should operate very quietly.

Water appears cloudy or has an odor

This indicates the filter may need to be replaced or the fountain requires a more thorough cleaning. Ensure the correct filter type is being used and replaced on schedule.

Cat is hesitant to drink from the fountain

Ensure the water is fresh by cleaning the fountain and replacing the filter regularly. Try placing the fountain in a quiet, accessible location. Some cats may need a transition period; try placing their old water bowl nearby.
