Recirculating fountains all have the same problems

All recirculating fountains have the same problem:  They recirculate the same water, over and over.  The same stale water.  And cats know it.  That's why cats still want you to turn on your faucet.  They want fresh water.

Water flowing in nature is fresh because it is constantly being replenished.  But recirculating the same water in a fountain is just moving stale water.

All recirculating fountains need filters.  Not because the water you pour into the fountain is dirty, but because the fountain makes it dirty.  Cat saliva mixes with the water and grows slime. 

Replacement Filters ◦ Charcoal ◦ Carbon ◦ Foam ◦ Screen

Recirculating fountains have to be refilled. Everyday you need to remember to refill your recirculating fountain, or be reminded by the loud noise of the pump failing because the fountain has run dry.

◦ Daily Refilling Required ◦

All recirculating fountains need regular cleaning.  Even a bowl of water will form a slime in a single day. Imagine the slime buildup in a recirculating fountain in a week!  Cleaning a recirculating fountain means picking the whole thing up off the ground, carrying it to a sink, dumping it out and disassembling the whole thing to begin the cleaning process.  Not a pleasant task.

And what about the slime on the inside of the water pump?  If you don't clean that then the fresh water you refill your recirculating fountain with is immediately fouled.

Cleaning Weekly ◦ Slime Buildup

Recirculating fountains have water pumps that have to run 24 hours a day.  They are noisy, especially when the fountain runs dry.  They fail and have to be replaced.  And they very special effort to clean the slime out of them.

Noisy Pump ◦ Runs 24/7

All recirculating fountains grow slime, no matter what material they are made of.  You eventually need to clean any recirculating fountain.

Ceramic ◦ Stainless Steel ◦ Porcelain ◦ Plastic ◦ Glass

Most recirculating fountains force your cat to drink room temperature water.  While a few fountains offer a mechanism to cool the recirculated water, this is an expensive and complex add-on.

Cool ◦ Chilled ◦ Water

All recirculating fountains have a reservoir of water that the cat can either spill or splash the water out of.

The Best Fountain Does Not Recirculate Water

  • The AquaPurr is a cat drinking fountain that sits next to your sink and connects to your faucet using a diverter valve - your faucet supplies water to the AquaPurr.

  • When your cat steps close to the AquaPurr, they activate the AquaPurr's motion sensor that triggers water flow from the AquaPurr spigot.

  • Your cat drinks from the AquaPurr spigot, and the water they don't drink flows down the drain.

  • When your cat steps away, the AquaPurr automatically shuts off in a few seconds.

  • Because the AquaPurr connects to your faucet with a diverter valve, you still have full use of your sink when you want it.

Recirculating Fountain Pumps have SLIME!

...and they are noisy

Every recirculating fountain pump has slime in it.  Every one of them.

You can try cleaning the pump.
All you do is these 15 steps:

  • Unplug the fountain

  • Pick the fountain up off the floor

  • Empty the water into the sink

  • Disassemble the entire fountain

  • Remove the pump

  • Prepare a cleaning solution

  • Put the pump in the cleaning solution

  • Run the pump for a few minutes

  • Put the pump in fresh water

  • Run the pump for a few minutes

  • Put the pump back in the fountain

  • Reassemble the fountain

  • Fill the fountain with water

  • Carefully put the fountain full of water on the floor

  • Plug the fountain back into the wall

  • Reassemble the fountain

What a PAIN!

You need an AquaPurr

You NEVER clean it.  And, it doesn't have a pump!

The AquaPurr utilizes the water pressure from the faucet rather than pumping the water.  When the cat triggers the sensor a valve opens to allow the water to flow from the faucet through the AquaPurr.

Never Clean a Fountain Again

You are tired of cleaning fountains.
You hate seeing slime in the water your cat drinks from.
You want your cat to be healthy and to drink lots of water.

You are worth it.  Your cat is worth it.

Recirculating Fountains Need Filters
...and that adds up!

Every recirculating fountain has slime in it.  Every one of them.
Filters help, but they are expensive and a pain.

You need an AquaPurr

You NEVER clean it.  And, it doesn't have a pump!

The AquaPurr gets fresh water from the house everytime it runs.  No water is being recirculated the way regular fountains do.  Since the water is always from the house water supply, it is always fresh!

Never Replace a Filter Again

You are tired of replacing fountain filters.
You are tired of buying fountain filters.
You hate seeing slime in the water your cat drinks from.
You want your cat to be healthy and to drink lots of water.

Join the thousands of people who have made their lives better with an AquaPurr.

You are worth it.  Your cat is worth it.
