Customer Rating:      Summary: EXCELLENT PRODUCT! Comment: I've tried other water delivery systems for "Ernest," but he didn't drink from them and had more fun taking them apart. After continually picking up the pieces, I got the hint. I then offered water from a bowl, but he rejected that, too, in favor of drinking directly from a faucet.
When I saw the Cat It Fresh & Clear at PetsMart, I had hopes again that Ernest might like it. While I was cleaning it in the kitchen sink prior to filling it with water, Ernest immediately pounced on it. The bubbler fascinates him. He's drinking far more water than before. And, he hasn't tried to take it apart.
The product is easy to put together, and easy to keep clean. The filter actually works, as it fits snugly in the system. Though the system does require electricity to run, it's very quiet.
It's easy to give this product five stars.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Cat stopped playing with water Comment: I tried every plastic, ceramic and tin bowl, every placemat, rug and tray, I tried the Drinkwell and the other popular fountain and my cat would not stop playing with her water. She would paw it out of the bowl and onto the floor, this has been happening for years. Finally I saw this at the popular pet store (the one that is always out of stock of what you need) and I bought it on a whim. Gracie instantly stopped playing with the water!! I guess it's because it doesn't have a bowl, the water just bubbles up. Now I know her water's clean, no dirty paws in it and my floor is dry!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Big hit with the kitties Comment: The cats weren't sure what to make of it initially but now are big fans. They no longer knock over glasses of water meant for humans just to get "fresh water." It can be a little loud but that usually means that you need to add water to it. I would recommend it to anyone.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Great product! Comment: I love this water bowl. It is the easiest that I have found to clean because there are no small, hard to reach areas. The other great thing is that it is hard to get cat food in the bowl because it sits higher off the ground. So far this is the best and easiest bowl I have found. And my cats love it! Did I mention that the assembly and re-assembly is also the easiest. Sender was awesome and I got my product fast. Thanks!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Good fountain, could use some improvements Comment: At first my cats were afraid of it, but after about a week of keeping it on they have grown used to it and do prefer it over the bowl of water. I keep a separate bowl of water available too though because if the power goes out, there is no water.
Suggestions for improvement:
1. the plug in the wall gets pretty warm so that is a concern of mine - I'm worried it could cause a fire. So, I just keep the fountain on during the evening when I'm home. (the cats have a separate water bowl during the day)
2. the cats splash a lot of water on the floor/walls when they drink out of it so a splash guard would be a nice improvement.
3. keeping it running constantly must take a lot of electricity (not environmentally friendly) so it would be great if there was a motion detector so it only ran when a cat was near it.
