发帖数: 235 | 1 Ok - Java's been using the FreshFlow for a year now...That thing is a pain-
in-the-butt to clean. Not only you have to take all the parts out to get a
thorough cleaning but it's also VERY hard to get all the spots. I use a
toothbrush, a sponge and Q-tips to clean and I still couldn't get to all the
curve and corners. Bad design (I don't use dishwasher because it might melt
the plastic or soap might get stuck between corners....so I clean by hand)
This morning as I was cleaning the fountain, I dropped the little motor by
mistakes. I'M GLAD...Why?? Because there were THICK brown slimey-gooey
stuffs fell out onto the floor. As it turns out, all the dirts/salivia are
trapped INSIDE the little motor where you just cannot get to it. (Keep in
mind - I thorough clean the fountain every few days and we only have 1 cat.)
I NEED SUGGESTION - I did some research it seems like Pioneer Pet Stainless
Steel Fountain Raindrop Design is the easiest to clean BUT I want some
feedback...Anyone here use this product? If not, what do you recommend?
I want something that is:
1) Easy to clean
2) Does not encourage bacteria / mold / germ to grow
3) Will NOT tip over (Java WILL play with his water bowl...) so it has to be
heavy
4) Durable (Ceramic will not work)
I saw other fountains such as Drinkwell, Drinkwell Platinum, Drinkwell 360,
Cat Mate...etc. They all seem to have a bacteria/mold growing and hard to
clean issue...
PS. Sorry this is in English....I can read but I can't type Chinese =( |

发帖数: 5148 | 6 I have this stainless steel water fountain. It's a cinch
to clean. However, cats can definitely move it, even
when filled with water. So when this fountain is out
(I alternate between different ones), I have to place it
inside a thick glass baking pan so that the spilled water
doesn't get to the floor.
The filter for this fountain is quite expensive, at about
$10 each. So after the one that came with the fountain
met with its destiny, I never replaced it. The cats are
just fine with the non-filtered water.
The water pump needs to be cleaned quite often. I didn't
know it could be taken apart until I took it to a shop to
get a replacement after it stopped working. The shop owner
disassembled it, rinsed it with water, and it was like new
again. From then on, each time I clean the fountain, I rinse
the water pump. No sweat.
The one 'complaint' I have with this fountain is its noise.
It can be very quiet if you place the pump just the right
way. But any slight change of position can make it noisy.
I guess I have a low tolerance to noise. The cats don't
seem to care though.
One other thing, stainless steel can look dirty with water
stains all over it. And when there is water, and cats
playing with water, there are always water stains. So don't
expect your water fountain look like those spotless ones
on the net. |

发帖数: 235 | 13 Hi!! Since you didn't provide a link, I can't really tell which fountain you
're referring to, however, I bought the Pioneer Water Fountain in stainless
steel. I hope Java will like it.
From the review, it looks like it's the easiest to clean and the filter is
easy to replace. I bought the larger size for 2 reasons:
1) This fountain doesn't have a reservoir and I want to make sure Java will
have enough water in case we're away for the weekend.
2) The small size is waaay smaller BUT it's the price is very similar to the
larger size.
I'll post a photo below...if anyone is interested, I can post a review after
Java uses it >^-^<

发帖数: 228 | 16 如果猫对玩水兴趣比喝水大怎么办？
我家只是那种水盆上方倒置的水瓶，因为猫发现把水拨出去新水流下来就会咕嘟咕嘟响
，于是他就拼命拨水到外面……实际上稍微大一点的水碗他都要试着拨水出来…… |

发帖数: 181 | 18 I bought both the stainless steel and the ceramic fountain, same size, same
design, and my cats obviously like the ceramic one better. I guess the cats
might be turned off by the shiny/cold texture stainless steel has? The
ceramic is actually pretty durable...I had the fountain for more than a year
and it still looks just like new. |
