How to Choose the Best Cat Water Fountain

What is a Cat Water Fountain? Pet water fountains (they are available for dogs, too) are units that allow you to provide your cat with fresh, running water. They come in a range of sizes and styles, and most contain filters to ensure that the water is kept clean.

Water Movement Movement is what sets a water fountain apart from a bowl or a gravity water store. While in the latter two, the water remains still, in a fountain it is moved around the unit by a pump. This means that the water stays tasting better, and makes it harder for bacteria to get a foothold.

Filters Most water fountains will include a filter, but there are several different types available. The simplest filter will just remove hair or other objects that may have dropped into the bowl. Charcoal filters or anti-bacterial filters will go a step further and help purify the water and discourage bacteria from making a home in the fountain.

Appearance Pet fountains come in a range of styles. There are the very functional ones which are simple white plastic in design, but there are others that bring a splash of flair into your home. Ceramic fountains are attractive, and useful for placing in communal areas of the house. Stainless steel fountains keep their looks, and they are also easy to keep clean.

Ease of Cleaning How easy is it to give the fountain a really good clean? Although the water is filtered, you will still need to empty the fountain and give it a thorough clean periodically. Think about how easy the fountain is to take apart, and whether you will need specialist cleaners or tools to keep it spotless.

Size of Fountain We don’t just mean how much space the fountain will take up in your home, but also whether the unit is the right size for the pets that you have in your home. Kittens and younger cats will need to be able to reach the water.
