It is getting a cat who has ignored their bowl for years to take an interest in it. Most fountains answer that with movement alone, which works on some cats and not others. This one adds something to watch: a disk with two floating fish, driven magnetically, that turns as the water circulates. For a bored indoor cat that is a reason to come over and sit with it, and sitting with it is how the drinking habit starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnderneath the novelty it is a sensible fountain. The inner bowl is 304 stainless steel and lifts out, which is the specification worth paying for — steel does not scratch into the fine grooves that plastic develops, and those grooves are where the slippery film forms that makes a cat quietly abandon a fountain they used to like. The outer body and base are white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt runs cordless. The bowl sits on a separate powered base and lifts off it, so there is no cable trailing across the floor while your cat drinks — useful if the only sensible spot in your kitchen is nowhere near a socket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 2.5 litres it holds more than our \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cat-water-fountain-2l-quiet-stainless-steel-sensor-filter\"\u003e2 litre fountain\u003c\/a\u003e and a little less than the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/cordless-cat-water-fountain-3-2l-stainless-steel-sensor\"\u003e3.2 litre\u003c\/a\u003e.

We would rather you budgeted for a replacement disk and were pleasantly surprised than the other way round, so plan on changing it. Second, no battery runtime, no noise figure and no dimensions are published for this model, and we are not going to invent them. The figures below are only what we can actually verify.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.5 litre capacity — suits one or two cats\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable 304 stainless steel inner bowl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic floating fish spinner gives a cat something to watch, not just moving water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnetic drive — no motor sitting in the drinking water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuns cordless; the bowl lifts clear of its powered base\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner bowl comes right out for proper washing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin:20px 0;border:1px solid #E6DAC7;border-radius:14px;overflow:hidden;background:#FFFFFF;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#2A3A2A;padding:14px 18px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0;font-size:12px;letter-spacing:0.12em;text-transform:uppercase;color:#D9B48C;\"\u003ePawbrio product guide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:4px 0 0;font-size:18px;font-weight:600;color:#FAF6EF;\"\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:14px;table-layout:auto;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr style=\"background:#F1E7D8;color:#2A3A2A;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px 12px;\"\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"text-align:left;padding:10px 12px;\"\u003eInfo\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#FFFFFF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;font-weight:700;color:#A6764C;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eCapacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003e2.5 litres\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#FAF6EF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;font-weight:700;color:#A6764C;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eInner bowl\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003e304 stainless steel, removable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#FFFFFF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;font-weight:700;color:#A6764C;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eDrive\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eMagnetic, floating fish spinner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#FAF6EF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;font-weight:700;color:#A6764C;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003ePower\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eCordless, with a charging base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#FFFFFF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;font-weight:700;color:#A6764C;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eSpinner disk\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003ePlan on replacing every 2–4 weeks\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"background:#FAF6EF;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;font-weight:700;color:#A6764C;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eSuits\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px 12px;border-top:1px solid #EFE6D8;\"\u003eOne or two cats\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"padding:14px 18px;background:#FAF6EF;border-top:1px solid #E6DAC7;font-size:14px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color:#2A3A2A;\"\u003eWhich of our fountains:\u003c\/strong\u003e This one if your cat ignores still water and you want something that actually draws them over — the spinner is the hook, and the cordless base means it can go where the socket isn't.

Charge it fully, then fill with cold tap water and set it on a level, hard floor — away from the food bowls, because cats instinctively avoid drinking next to where they eat. Leave the old water bowl out alongside it for a week or two. Most cats investigate the spinner within a day; some take longer, and taking the old bowl away early is the quickest way to put one off for good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUsing it safely\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not let it run dry. The pump is cooled by the water it moves, so an empty bowl will damage it — and because there is no low-water cut-off and no level window on this model, that means looking in rather than relying on it to stop itself. Unplug the charging base before you clean it. Cold water only. Keep the charging cable away from a cat that chews. If your cat's drinking changes noticeably in either direction, that is worth a word with your vet rather than putting it down to the new fountain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlan on replacing the spinner disk every 2 to 4 weeks, sooner in hard water — that is what the manufacturer's maintenance guidance asks for, and it is the safer assumption even though some sellers list this fountain as filter-free. Between changes, lift the stainless bowl out and wash it weekly in hot soapy water, and run a bottle brush through the pump housing; that is where the slippery film builds up, and it is the most common reason a cat walks away from a fountain they had been using happily. No dishwasher and no bleach. Dry everything before reassembling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; returns\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree tracked UK delivery on every Pawbrio order.
