Review on Stainless Steel Cat Water Fountain - Low Noise, Multiple Pets Friendly, 2L/67Oz Capacity by Josh Graham

This is easy to clean, however, would be better with a two section cord. To clean, either the whole fountain must be taken apart, or you must carry the cord with you. The fact that this is stainless steel, and has a filter, means that weekly rinse and wipe clean shows that there is no nasty growth in the bowl of the unit. So, overall, it is not any more time consuming than a water dish. Our cat drinks more water with the fountain, which is evident in the clumping litter. Drinking more water will possibly avoid kidney problems. I must add eight to ten ounces of fresh water, daily, but that is me. You could add every other day. Our cat seems to prefer the water level to be fairly high, so I add water, daily.
