There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I decided on the Pioneer Pet Stainless Steel Fountain Raindrop for a number of reasons. "Harry" likes to drink from the faucet in the bathrooms but doesn't like to have the water running when he does. So, I began looking for a unit with a reservoir, & a spout off to the side. I was drawn to the teardrop design that has exactly that. If you have a kitty that likes running water, this design is perfect, b/c the water bubbles up and gently runs down a little slope, into the reservoir. Or, if your kitty is like "Harry", he can ignore the spout and concentrate on the bowl-area, where the water recycles back through the filter and is pumped out the spout again.
Another nice feature is the noise factor of this unit. It is whisper-quiet and doesn't scare off "Harry", as some, noisier units might do. About the only time I hear it is if the water is depleted to the point where more needs to be added, and even then, it's not really loud.
This is an easy-to-assemble unit with a long cord that plugs into the wall. It comes with the pump and one filter. The housing for the pump and filter is made of sturdy plastic. Both the pump & housing have suction cups on the bottom, allowing for secure adherence to the bowl-part of the unit. It's easy to clean; I use hot water, every-other-day. [It can probably run a week without cleaning, as long as you watch that the water level doesn't drop too low from the pet drinking a lot or through natural evaporation, especially during the colder months. I worry about dust accumulating on the unit itself, which is why I clean it so often!]
I purchased the Pioneer Pet Fountain Cleaning Kit through Amazon, for a nominal fee. It consists of a specially-designed brush that I find easy to use when cleaning the unit, although, by no means, is it necessary to have one. The filters come in a box of three for under $10 and can be purchased through Amazon or at one of your local pet supply stores. I have only one cat so I change the filter monthly; if you have more than one, I'd recommend every two weeks.
Another benefit of this unit is that there are videos on YouTube that allow you to troubleshoot or assemble the unit. They are so helpful. I've had mine about six months & when I cleaned the unit & changed the filter a couple of days ago, the pump wasn't producing the spout as it normally does. I tried several things, to no avail, and thought I might have to purchase a new pump. Then I went online & found a video on pump maintenance. I did everything I was instructed to do and, lo and behold, it works perfectly. I just needed to clean the inside of the pump, which took less than five minutes!
I must have looked at two-dozen fountains before selecting this one. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with this unit. Best of all, "Harry" likes it too, and is drinking good, filtered water, as he is supposed to do to be a healthy, happy cat. [Oh, and dogs will love it too!]
One thing that many of the negative reviews seem to revolve around is insufficient cleaning.
This is an open pool of water. It gets bugs, cat hair, saliva, dust, and other household things in it. It needs to be cleaned out regularly.
Fortunately, their design is _very_ easy to clean. Even taking apart the electric motor and cleaning it is much, much simpler than it sounds (mostly because you dont really take it apart, the motor is sealed, you just remove and clean the impeller/propeller).
Based on my experience, with the necessary maintenance, this thing runs really well. And I find my cat drinks much more water because of it.
Things to watch out for:
- Dump the water, take it apart, and clean it weekly. This takes no more than 10 minutes.
- Pioneer Pet has solid videos on how to clean the main unit, and how to take apart and clean the motor. It's really much easier than you will expect.
Pump Maintenance 101
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYyTFv_u3Sw
- I don't find that I need to take the motor apart and clean the impeller every week, it can be done once or twice a month, in my experience.
- Change the filters monthly. This is about a $3/month expense. They may be good for longer, I'm not sure how to tell.
- Use the cleanest water you can. Bottled, purified, reverse-osmosis, soft, whatever you have available. The cleaner the water, the longer the thing will go between cleanings.
One thing to watch out for: I had the motor stop working after about 2 months. I was frustrated thinking it was not very high quality, etc. Turns out that a cat hair had gotten down in and wound around the impeller. Once I took it apart and wiped down the impeller, it worked like a charm.
Lastly, and this has nothing to do with the product itself, but if you're getting one of these to try to get your cats to drink more water, placement is very important. Put this in a high traffic area, where your cat hangs around near it, or passes by it many times a day. That will hugely improve the likelihood of it being drank from often.
EDIT To add two more notes:
1. In my house, I find that I add a coffee-cup amount of water most days. You don't have to, it'll go a few days before getting low enough that the water flow suffers, but I find it easy to just fill up a coffee cup with water and dump it in. I live in the desert, so very low humidity, but also only have one cat. YMMV.
2. The top piece will occasionally rattle a little bit. This is the only noise making part of the fountain. The majority of the time, this is resolved just by tapping the top pieces, which moves it enough that it stops rattling. I'll probably go get a small tube of food-safe silicon caulking and just put a couple tiny dabs on the lip where the lid sits on, to buffer the metal on metal contact. In any case, the noise is usually very minor.

This one makes it easy. As outs stainless steel, it should last for a long time. Well worth it!
