2. Product Features
- More Attractive to Pets: FOFNON's cat fountain simulates a natural waterfall of living water, which attracts the attention of pets. They may even drink the water out of curiosity, inadvertently increasing their water intake. Effectively reduces health problems caused by cats not drinking water.
- More Time for Owners: Compared to traditional water bowls, Cat water fountain does not need to refill water every day, giving you more time. The water level window allows you to see how much water is left at a glance, so you don't have to lift the lid as often. 3.2L capacity is enough for cats to use for 8-12 days. Even if you go out to work, take a short trip or come home late, your pet will not be thirsty.
- Advantage: SUS304 Material: Stainless steel cat water fountain is made of high quality stainless steel imported from Germany. It is resistant to high temperature, corrosion and oxidation, fully reflecting the quality and safety. Compared with plastic materials, stainless steel cat water fountain can effectively prevent black chin in cats.
- Advantage: Very Quiet: Whether you are working or sleeping at home, the pet fountain will not disturb you. Have you ever heard the sound of falling leaves? The sound of falling leaves is close to 20 dB, which is difficult to hear on a daily basis. The pet fountain runs at only 30 dB, which is fairly low volume.
- Advantage: Multiple Filtration: Stainless steel cat water fountain uses multiple filtration systems. The carbon filter is made of various materials to effectively filter out dust, fine debris and soften the water. The pump filter attracts floating hairs in the stainless steel cat water fountain. Purifying water quality, pets can drink water without worry.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial to ensure the longevity and hygiene of your pet water fountain.

- Filter Replacement:
- Carbon Filter: Replace the carbon filter every 2 to 4 weeks, or more frequently if you have multiple pets or notice reduced water flow/quality.
- Sponge Filter: Replace the sponge filter (around the pump) every 1 to 2 months, or when it appears visibly dirty or clogged.
Replacement filters can be found by searching "FOFNON filter" online.
