Catit Design Fresh and Clear Cat Drinking Fountain allows freshwater to continuously run, which helps make water drinking fun for cats in the household.
Thanks to the constant supply of freshwater in the household, you can protect your cats from certain urinary diseases.
The fountain can hold up to 100 oz of water.
This pet drinking fountain has an elevated style designed to let cats drink comfortably since they do not have to bend over to enjoy freshwater.
Freshwater bubbles up at the centre hole.
Using a multi-stage filtration system, pet cats will surely enjoy clean and freshwater since it always gets filtered.
The filters also function as a screen, preventing cat hair and other debris from getting in contact with the water.
Separate filters are sold if the replacement filter has already been used up.
Replacement of cartridge filter should be scheduled once a week if you have multiple cats.
In case of a single pet cat, cartridge filter can be replaced once a month.
The Hagen Catit Design Fresh Pet Drinking Fountain is ideal not just for cats but also to small dogs.
Once this pet drinking fountain runs out of the water, it creates a noise indicating that the water level is low so you need to refill it.

How the Hagen Catit Fountain Works?
The unit has a 100 oz capacity to provide pet cats with enough water they need.
It also has a large plastic bucket which holds the water.
Water bubbles come from the middle part of the fountain.
The water pump is found at the bucket, while the filter is located at the bottom part.
The pump pushes water to come out of the center hole in the middle piece then drops the water back to the bucket for re-circulation.
Cats can either lick from the sides of the unit where water runs or they can bubble up the water.
Hagen Catit Fountain does not provide flowing or falling stream rather a circulating and bubbling source of water.

- Some cats might be allergic to plastic, and some may also develop chin acne from using the unit
- Irregular water bubbling and the cat’s nose becomes wet which may cause discomfort to them

Tips
The fountain should be kept clean at all times so cats will enjoy a quieter fountain and well-functioning water pump.
The water pump has to be taken apart or disassembled for this to be cleaned up and maintained.
Other cats might find the fountain a bit scary at first so there is a need for them to use the fountain every now and then so they can get used to it.
It the unit gets noisier, putting more water in it or cleaning the unit will eradicate the noise.
Cleaning should be done after every two or three days, while the filter requires replacement every three to four weeks.
Disassembling and cleaning the water pump depends on the number of cats you have at home.

Hagen Catit Design Drinking Fountain functions well, and offers you a good value for its price.
The capacity of Hagen Drinking Fountain is good, just like the Catit version Fresh & Clean.
