Dog Water Fountain, 2.1Gal/270oz Capsule Dog Fountain for Medium to Large Dogs, Automatic Pet Water Dispenser for Drinking, Anti-Splash, Ultra-Quiet Dog Water Bowl Dispenser Easy to Clean

We have tried at least 4 different dog water fountains over the past 10 years. We have tried plastic and stainless steel fountains. All with different styles of waterflow. Whether the water dripped or fell gently. Our first complaint was how quickly the plastic ones would get slimy and constantly needed a thorough cleaning. Then we went to stainless steel and those did not get slimy they were just difficult to clean because of the style that we got having to balance the water to get the bowl to the sink to clean. Another issue that we have always had was one of our dogs is EXTREMELY messy when she drinks. She likes to make as much of a mess as she can when she drinks that we have a mat around the water fountain. We decided to get this fountain because the flow looked more like a stronger current which would hopefully prevent slime build-up. We also liked how it looked easy to keep clean. It also looked like it may be good to prevent our dog from making a pond around the dish. We have had it for a couple of months now and I can say we love this fountain! The filter is insanely easy to not only take out and rinse every few days but we can change it often and the whole thing is just really easy to keep clean. Best of all our dog has not made a mess AT ALL around it. The way this fountain is styled the water that she splashes automatically gets caught and drains into the bowl. No more lake to clean up! Added bonus... it is by far the quietest fountain that we have ever had. It is also super easy to fill up. We just fill it where the splash guard is with a water jug that we fill and it does not take forever to fill it. It is very well made and holds about 2 gallons of water. You can tell dog owners designed it. It really is a great fountain!!

The tank is deep; we refresh the water every 3-4 days with 1 dog and 2 cats. Easy to disassemble for cleaning and/or changing the filter. We found third-party filters, because the Petlibro ones are expensive, and they fit without problem. In general, Petlibro's pumps seem to be smart and well made. There seems to be a battery inside this unit's, so that if power is cut, it will still provide water for a while. Haven't tested it, so I don't know how long it lasts. The pump also automatically stops if there is not enough water, so it shouldn't break because of overworking in bad conditions. When the tank is filled, you barely hear anything. Only when it's got about a third left did we start to hear the drizzle of water falling, but never the pump itself. One piece of advice: once it's filled, it is HEAVY. 8L of water is no joke if you have no muscle on you. Once you place it, you may not be able to change it or clean it easily until it has been emptied a bit.

Fresh running water for your dog, they drink better than me now.

I seriously LOVE THIS THING!! This is the best invention for pets. I searched high and low for a pet fountain and they all seemed to have their flaws. This is the best you could get, even if you were willing to spend more money, you wouldn’t get one as good as this. And it’s priced very fair. It’s very large. As you can see in my picture, there is a line showing the max fill line. I honestly disregard that. I’ve filled it up all the way. There is a little cut out in the back where you feed the power cord for the pump, and I fill the water up until it’s right below that cut out so it doesn’t spill out. I’ve owned this unit for months and I’ve always used it that way with no issue. I estimate that it holds almost an extra gallon filling it up to below that cutout. I have two French bulldog Boston terrier mixes and several cats. Before this fountain, I would fill two large water dishes full of water every day. It was a pain and would get disgusting. Never realized that my animals weren’t drinking enough until I got this fountain. Now they all love to drink water and none of them have ever made a mess out of it. When it first arrived, I would fill it all the way up and it would last exactly one week until it needed to be refilled. I would clean all of its parts and refill it during my weekly refill. But after two weeks, I think my animals decided that they really loved this thing and they all started drinking way more water. So then it went from lasting a week to only lasting 4 or 5 days before it needed a refill. All the cats regularly conjure together at this and take turns getting their fill. Moving water is much healthier for them all anyway so I love to see them enjoying it so much. Now that I’ve owned it for several months I’ve found the best way to use it that makes the most sense for me and my household. Instead of breaking all the parts down and thoroughly cleaning the whole thing every time it needs to be refilled which would be at least once or twice a week (bc I have so many animals), instead I fill it to the tippy top, and when it gets low halfway thru the week, I take a jug of water and pour it directly into the fountain to top it off. Then when it gets low again, I’ll top it off with fresh water again. I let it go about 2 weeks or so before I break it down completely, thoroughly wash every single part, and give it a new filter in the basin and a new sponge filter at the pump. I get way more life out of my filters this way instead of replacing every week I manage to get about 2-4 weeks out of them. To make the filters last the longest, once a week I pull the filter out of the basin, give it a good rinse and stick it back in when I top the fountain off. When I do this I also pull the filter out and wipe it off and rinse the sponge filter. All my animals love this fountain and so do i. It works amazingly and is very well constructed. I would love to see a stainless version of this big one like they did for the smaller cat fountain. This petlibro company has done a great job creating this fountain and it’s extremely consumer friendly. They sell the filters, and they even sell the replacement pump for less than $10 if something were to ever happen to yours. It’s great. Nowadays so many companies create their products where if one little thing goes wrong with a part of the item, the whole thing is trashed and can’t be used. So I love that they sell the replacement pumps. It’s also super quiet. It makes no noise at all. Idk what other ppl are talking about referencing sound this thing might make bc it doesn’t.. like at all lol.

Hold a good amount of water and is very quiet even when the water is low you don't ear it highly recommend
