It’s made from BPA-free plastic but doesn’t have the robust feel of the Eversweet 2 or the Catit Flower Fountain. Instead, the plastic is lightweight and slightly flexible.

Just wanted to share a new custom component (integration) that I have been working on for PetKit devices (smart pet feeders, litter boxes, water fountain).

Surprisingly, our most expensive option—the PetSafe Drinkwell Platinum—would likely be the most economical over time.

They oxygenate the water, making it taste fresher than water in a bowl and encouraging your cat to drink more. Secondly, they make life easier for you. Instead of refilling the bowl once a day, you’ll have to refill your cat’s water fountain only once every week or two. By virtue of its plastic construction, the fountain isn’t as hygienic as a ceramic or stainless steel unit. Though it’s easy to disassemble and easy to clean by hand, Catit doesn’t say the fountain is dishwasher-safe. Many customers, however, say they’ve successfully cleaned it in a dishwasher. They’re easy to disassemble for cleaning. You’ll want to wash your cat’s water fountain once every couple of weeks. The best ones make this chore as easy as possible. We looked for fountains that had relatively simple designs, didn’t have a lot of parts that could accumulate dirt, and were easy to break down when it’s time to clean. Ideally, they’re dishwasher-safe so you can pop them into the dishwasher and know you’re getting a complete clean. Additionally, it has been noted that the setup instructions aren’t translated into English particularly brilliantly and it can cause a little confusion in the first instance – but rest assured, there is plenty of easily-accessible advice (including video walkthroughs) online. Should you buy Petkit Smart Pet Drinking Fountain? 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.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 drinking fountain itself has two modes – Smart Mode and Normal Mode. While Normal Mode has the fountain dish constantly full with water (great for pets that get thirsty at night), the Smart Mode uses light technology to assess how much water to allow to well depending on the time of day. Not only does this prevent undrunk water sitting in the well overnight, but saves energy too.
