iPettie Runway Wireless Pump Cat Water Fountain with 4 Filters - Waterproof Self-Contained Battery, Stainless Steel, 1.1 Gal/135oz, Motion Sensor, 5-Stage Filtration for Pets, Upgraded Cordless

3 Fountains I’ve purchased: 1) Drinkwell zen corded fountain about one gallon,round stainless steel bowl. Large bowl with downspout in stainless steel,immersible pump, flimsy carbon filter, plastic housing, cord only means continuous stream, might be too noisy for bedroom. I upgraded it with a trimmable larger carbon aquarium filter and nylon drawstring bag over the pump. Requires a brush to clean the tubing and pump housing. A juggle to assemble and lot of surfaces to clean. Manual fairly good on cleaning. I’ve had pump several years! No rust as of yet. With the upgrade carbon & nylon bag around the pump, I’m cleaning every two weeks in outdoor, partially sheltered location. Easy to top off. Nice capacity. 2. ipettie (rechargeable ensure you select this if desired there is also a wired version which I got) fountain 4 litters (1.1 gallon). Stainless steel square bowl more compact than a round bowl; immersible pump includes long cord (5’ usb-c cord length), wired version includes the adaptor!!! and brush for cleaning (immersible pump with tubes will be some extra cleaning there); some pre-filter sponges. Very easy to assemble, and only the continuous spray plug-in is on apparently I got the WIRED version by mistake when I selected the extra filter package. The 5’ cord and included adaptor makes that doable. Has a plastic inner shelf to hold the filter. A little SLOW topping it off, could be deeper; like the level viewport although hard to see that at night even with light. Just got this one—So far this is the best fountain for my six cat household with 1.1 gallons as cats need 1 cup per cat! I refill with RO water. My cats do drink out of this more often than the red plastic one, I think continuous flow might taste better & I like the continuous water flow it’s got a comforting ‘white noise’ to it. Note: I have it on a tray with a lip to contain any spills. 3. Pawaii rechargeable small red compact all-plastic fountain. Impeller external to pump, battery and controller, 6-stage filter snaps neatly in place but inadequate for multiple cat household and all plastic is the worst material for bacteria growth. 4. Vital sip. Also small, and claims they have a biofilm to help reduce bacteria growth. They also claim plastic must be cleaned every 48 hours, but theirs is not all metal as it has a plastic pump casing and a cover over the filters is also plastic… less plastic to be sure, but still plastic that must be cleaned every 48 hours according to them. Otherwise you’re going to have undesirable bacteria Growth. I had to treat one of my cats for a bacterial infection' so I take seriously the claim that cleaning every 48 hours is necessary for anything that’s plastic. I am boiling my Cleaning water, cool it enough to add it to the pump to recirculate everything (plastic can take a fair amount of heat, but not boiling water because the pieces might not fit back together, I tried that and that’s what happened). If I only had a few cats, I would just put out a bowl of fresh water twice a day! So I do that too, for the choice.

Such a time saver and my cat never runs out of water. We charge it every 2-3 weeks.

UPDATE: The day after writing this review, and just 2.5 months after getting this fountain, it has stopped working. Very disappointing.. Will not purchase another. I purchased one of these in 2023. My cats loved it, it was easy to clean, and worked great...until a couple months ago when the pump/motor stopped working. I came back to purchase a new one, but was thrown off to see the pump/motor is different and fully enclosed. I wasn't sure how cleaning it would work, but got it anyway. The previous model, you could pull out the actual motor fan and thoroughly clean everything... this new model, you can't see inside at all. I've stuck a pipe cleaner up through the bottom to try to clean what I can, and just hope the rest is sealed off I guess. This new one does not have a low water light like the last one, so it's hard to tell when it needs refilled. It is also very loud (in comparison), but thankfully doesn't seem to bother my cats. OG version: 5 stars New version: 2 stars, bc why did y'all change everything?

I really liked it, but out of all the pumps I had this one only lasted 2 months 1 week. The other 3 I had before lasted 6 months, 3 years, and 1 year. Best of all but yet, lasted very little time. I hope to get some help soon. Hopefully they can fix this recall i see many reviews having the same issue.

Guys this fountain is amazing and a LOT BETTER than the pet Libre fountain i had before. I was using a pet Libre, it was very expensive a lot more than this one. My home burned down and I couldn't afford to buy PL again so I settled on this one and it does not disappoint. This thing is way better than any fountain I've used. It has MOTION detection and it works very well. It has a light on top which will turn colors when it needs charged which has been every few days. The dogs can still use it while you are charging it. I love the stainless steel vs the plastic. This thing is also wireless I can put it anywhere I want. I promise you guys you will love this. It is also very quiet.

I don’t think this cat fountain is worth the money as it’s quite loud and I can’t have it on when I’m sleeping. The pump is completely silent but unfortunately the water is not. Constantly there’s noise from the water falling back into it. I have it filled up all the way and it still is very loud. I turn it off at night and I have a second water bowl for my cat to drink out of. It’s so loud my cat only drinks out of it when it’s off. Regardless I do really love the design and if you could put it in a room that you don’t really spend time in that would work great. The water fountain is all stainless steel except for the catch tray where the water falls back into. Update: found odd bacterial growth on the pump tubing. Orange spore like growth that was hard to get off. I’ve never seen this type of bacterial growth so I’m not sure if it’s harmful or not. :(

I've been using this for about 7 months or so now and it still works great! I have 1 cat who is a year old now and he loves it. Easy to clean and filters his water very well. I will say its best to have it plugged in and running 24/7, otherwise the top part where he drinks out of gets slimy from sitting without it running. I can get about 1.5-2weeks out of 1 full water bowl with it running the whole time in a room that gets fairly warm in the summer. Definitely change the filters out every 2 weeks or so. You'll be amazed at how gross they look, and I have pretty clean water where I live (but this definitely shows how icky our pipes are in the old house).

I purchased this 9/30/2023 and it worked really really well. We cleaned it as we should, we changed the filters as we should, the cats got used to it as they should. Until we started noticing the floor was wet. We thought maybe the filter is clogged and the water isn't draining back to the tank fast enough so it's spilling to the floor, so we changed the filter and cleaned all the parts as usual. Seemed ok....for awhile. Then the floor was wet again. Repeated the process of replacing, cleaning. Thought maybe it was the cats, playing in the water...nope. Then we were on the way to bed and there was ALOT of water on the floor, and we saw that it was the spout that the water comes out of just spraying it over the pan and onto the floor! We unplugged it so it would stop running during the night. We are unable to figure out why it's spraying out wonky. We can't use it like it is. We can't find a replacement part, only a replacement "pump" which, when using the pictures for reference, I'm not sure is the top part that we think we need. We paid $55.99 plus tax to purchase it and it barely lasted a year, so we're kinda sad. It is quiet though, and I loved that it turned on and off vs running continuously or not running at all. I just wish it wasn't spraying wonky and onto my floors. I wish I could be confident in getting a replacement part for not a ton of money. In the meantime, the kitties are back to using their original, normal bowl that no one really likes.

Best pet fountain I have used. Had several others. I like that it's made of stainless steel, keeping water fairly cool and clean. The sensor is a nice feature so that there is not always water sitting on top to get dirty. Large capacity with double filter, means you are not changing the water often, or have it run out quickly. Fairly study, flat non slip bottom, so it won't be moved or tip over easily. I have two cats and they drink heartily out of it and it will last around a week.

I bought Ipettie and my cat loves it! It took him about two days to get used to it, so I kept the water bowl around, and now he only drinks from the fountain. I also noticed that he comes to drink more often than before. Very easy to clean, very quiet, wonderful product!

Es un buen producto por la calidad de materiales y el sistema de filtrado. PERO NO ES SILENCIOSO. AL CONTRARIO.

Really easy to set up and works well. The cats do seem to drink more water and aren't scared of the slight noise when the pump is running. Keeps water fresh for a month as it filters it, so much better than a bowl of water.
