PETKIT Cat Water Fountain, EVERSWEET 2S, 2L Ultra-Quiet Drinking Fountain for Cats and Dogs with LED Indicator for Water Shortage & Filter Replacement, Two Flow Modes, Anti-Dry Design, Filter Included

Product Information

This PetSafe fountain is also one of the loudest we’ve reviewed. Not only did the motor have a noticeable hum, but the water made noise as it splashed into the bowl. 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. 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. 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.

Getting up-to-date info and controlling PetKit water fountains requires having the BLE relay enabled in the PetKit app (requires a compatible PetKit device that can connect to the bluetooth-only water fountain). 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:They have a good carbon filter and prefilter. All high-quality water fountains contain a carbon filter, which captures odors and small particles. Most also feature a prefilter, which captures larger debris before it can reach the carbon foam filter and a submersible pump. By protecting the filter and pump, prefilters help extend the life of your water dispenser without the need for replacement filters. Of the fountains on this list, the Pioneer Pet Raindrop is one of the most streamlined and easiest to assemble. The carbon filter and pump are built into a single compact unit that sits on the floor of the fountain. Suction cups hold the unit to the bottom and help to ensure that the pump lines up with the top of the fountain. I ran each of the fountains one by one, taking note of their noise output. I listened for a motor hum and any splashing sounds. The sound of the Eversweet 2, NPET, and Cat Mate fountains was almost imperceptible, while the Catit and Pioneer Pet fountains both hummed faintly as they ran. Though still quiet, the PetSafe Drinkwell Platinum was the loudest of the bunch, producing a distinct hum that you could hear from across the room. It was also the only water fountain with noticeable water noise. Cat Appeal Signs that your cat might appreciate a pet water fountain include drinking water from the toilet or bathroom faucet and playing with streams of fresh water. 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.

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. 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). After hours of research and hands-on testing, we’ve chosen the Petkit Eversweet 2 as the overall best cat water fountain you can buy. With helpful indicator lights, dishwasher-safe construction, quiet operation, and a three-level filtration system, the Petkit Eversweet 2 is a smart, efficient fountain. The best cat water fountains provide fresh running water for a week or more, employ smart filtration systems, don’t have a lot of fiddly parts, and are a cinch to clean. How We Tested: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. 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. Although this pet fountain is fairly simple in design, it does offer one unique feature which sets it apart from the others on this list – it comes with three flow modes. Choose from a standard waterfall, a bubbling fountain, or a three-way leaf design that produces separate streams. With all of these options, you can customize the NPET fountain according to your cat’s preferences. The remaining bytes depend on the type of message and the required payload. For the regular advertised device information (command = 230), this is the interpretation of each byte for the Eversweet Pro 3 water fountain on the latest firmware: # 1-3 Header (CMD vs Stream)
