Cat Mate Genuine Replacement Filter Cartridges for Use with Cat and Dog Mate Pet Fountains, Pack of 6

Product Information

This fountain offers a generous 2.5L (84-ounce) capacity with a detachable water tank for easy cleaning and refilling. It features a vertical filtration system that draws water from the bottom of the tank through a wireless water pump and dispenses it into the stainless-steel water tray. The water then passes through a 4-layer filter to remove pet hair, heavy metals, odors, and other contaminants before returning to the reservoir. The Cat-It recommends that you dump the water and clean it twice weekly fyi. I don’t typically do this, but top up the water over two-three weeks before changing. I’m never sure if I am changing the filter frequently enough, but the cats drink from it and no one has died (or gotten ill) so what I’m doing must be okay. Overall, the NPET fountain is a versatile, moderately-sized option that works reliably and is very easy to clean. Plus, you need to replace the filters only every two months and they are fairly inexpensive. What We Liked: The fountain’s easy assembly, whimsical design, and low price have made the Catit Flower Fountain a perennial favorite among cat guardians.

With this water fountain you can choose from two water modes. Continuous flow mode creates a 24/7 flow of fresh water while radar induction mode activates the flow only when your cat is detected within 80cm (31.5 inches). In radar induction mode, flow is activated for 20 seconds every hour as well.Fun: we also offer some fun pet fountain options featuring flowers and bright colours, great for getting your cat interested in drinking water from a pet water fountain for cats. When hygiene is a priority, stainless steel water fountains like this one are your best option. Compared to plastic, stainless steel is less likely to collect bacteria and other contaminants. When it gets scummy, the fountain is a cinch to disassemble and safe to pop into the dishwasher, making cleaning almost completely effortless for cat owners. Though it’s not noiseless, the Catit Flower Fountain is a quiet unit. The motor produces a faint, almost imperceptible hum. This ultra-quiet water fountain is one of the most affordable choices on this list and an all-around good option for budget pet owners. It’s the only water fountain on this list with a three-year warranty, giving you peace of mind in case something goes wrong years down the road.

In terms of setup and maintenance, the Petlibro is very easy to set up. Its unique design makes it easy to refill without having to completely disassemble it. You simply remove the filter and water trays, then carry the unit to the sink to refill. Compared to the white or gray plastic of the other fountains on this list, the Pioneer Pet Raindrop tends to show dirt more easily. After just hours of use, I noticed smudges and smears on the high-gloss surface. It has a compact square design with several different levels and drinking stations. Water cascades down from the top bowl into a second level, then tumbles down a ramp into the bottom basin. The ramp reduces splashing and reduces water noise. Speaking of noise, this is one of the quietest water fountains we’ve tried. The motor produces a faint, almost imperceptible, hum, while the water makes barely a sound. The Pioneer Pet Raindrop was the outlier in this test. After running all night, the fountain looked the same as it did at the beginning of the test—the hair was still floating in the drinking bowl. The Pioneer Pet Teardrop white porcelain model gets a scale (I live in hard water Mountain West) that I can feel (not see) so I will soak it in a diluted vinegar solution and rub until the surface is smooth and I can no longer feel the scale with my fingertips. The filter is in the motor unit and the motor should be disassembled/cleaned somewhat frequently. (Not too difficult and the more you do it, the easier it seems.) I used this model long enough to replace the motor (after 2-3 years) and then the replacement motor stopped working and I replaced the model with Cat-It.The Petkit Eversweeet 2, PetSafe Drinkwell Platinum, and Cat Mate all performed decently in this test, capturing almost all of the hair in the prefilter before it could reach the carbon filter. Quality products: all of our pet fountain products are made to the finest quality to ensure your cat drinking fountain works continuously. These pet fountains are versatile, ideal for cats and small dogs. The Cat Mate fountain has a carbon filter to minimize odors, plus a prefilter that captures larger debris. In our hair test, the Cat Mate’s prefilter worked extremely well, collecting the cat hair before it could reach the carbon filter and pump inside.
