Pet Drinking Fountain PF22011

This new designed cordless ceramic pet drinking fountain with a faucet spout and internal vertical battery compartment, filters and aerates continuously moving water to keep it much fresher than standing bowl water.
A safe low voltage pump presses the water through a charcoal filter and back up, beginning the cycle anew. Kitty can drink out of the lid or lick the water streaming out of the faucet.
This fountain has a vertical battery compartment. A compartment of this type is smaller than the horizontal compartment and restricts the type and number of batteries that can be used (see below).

Our fountains have three filters. The first filter is an easy to clean backflow opening with small holes to catch larger debris like hair and food. The second filter is an optional foam filter around the pump, keeping the pump cleaner longer. For the third filter, you have your choice of housing for the Drinkwell 360 filter and one cartridge, Ebi’s refillable Bio Filter with one filter media bag and charcoal fill or our new Glass-jar Filter. The Drinkwell is easier since you just pop one cartridge out and another in; the Bio and Glass-jar Filter are much more economical since you fill it with course grade aquarium charcoal pellets.

The tubing we use to connect pump with filter and the filter with the spout is an antimicrobial beverage grade tubing.

The 2nd and 3rd filters are well hidden in the bowl, easy to reach for you but not your pet - and simple to change.
This fountain is equipped with a quiet, safe low-voltage pump, which can be powered either by battery or a wall power transformer.

Unlike plastic pet fountains that develop cracks, this handcrafted drinking fountain is made of durable, nonporous dinnerware-safe glazed stoneware. Clay and glazes are certified non-toxic and made in the USA. Ceramic resists bacteria, commonly found on porous plastic surfaces. The fountain has just 5 parts - bowl, lid, back-flow insert, filter and pump -, enabling simple, thorough cleaning.

The fountain has a battery compartment attached to the bowl. This compartment can be equipped with either a D-cell holder (holds 4 or 8 alkaline batteries or NiMH 10.000mAh rechargeable batteries) or one to three USB Li-Ion batteries. The pump runs continuously for up to two weeks with good alkaline D-cells, approx. 3 days with 4 rechargeable NiMH D-cells and up to 7 days depending on the type of USB Li-Ion battery used. The fountain comes with either a D-cell holder or an adapter for one USB battery (your choice.) As in all of our battery options, we do not supply the batteries but provide tips on which batteries will work. The batteries must be purchased separately from a reputable dealer. Amazon is a good choice because it’s fairly easy to exchange/return a battery that doesn’t work and since new choices are continually becoming available, we cannot test them all. You MUST (and this is important) be sure to keep the battery dry at all times by sealing it into a good quality Ziploc bag. Our fountains are designed to keep water away from the battery, but condensation etc. may occur, requiring a tight seal around the battery to ensure it remains dry.
This fountain can also be plugged in using a low voltage power transformer or a USB battery charger (not included); in this case, without the battery/battery compartment. You can use 6.5 inch long USB batteries with a side USB2 plug or 6 inch long batteries with a top USB2 plug.
