FAQ
Is this as durable as the Water Office line?
It's BPA-free plastic, built for a second water station rather than daily heavy-duty use. For the primary fountain in the house, we'd point you to the stainless steel Water Office line.
How often do I replace the filter element?
Every 4 to 6 weeks for the best flow and odor control.
Will it fit multiple cats?
The 3L reservoir and wide bowl work fine for one or two cats sharing a water station.
Every Minho & Ralph order is carefully packed to ensure it arrives safely and ready to delight you and your cat. From our store to your home, every detail is handled with the care your feline deserves.

Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 30 reviews.
Two cats share this one in the hallway and it keeps up fine, though I'd probably grab the steel version for a house with more than two.

Not the fanciest fountain but it does the job for a second station and the price made it an easy yes.
Hannah J.5/5Verified
Filter needs changing every month or so but that's a small price for water that doesn't get gross by day three.
Rachel T.5/5Verified
Runs off USB which is nice, I just plugged it into a power strip near the litter room. No cord drama, no outlet hunting.

We already have the steel fountain downstairs but wanted something for the upstairs bedroom so our older cat doesn't have to walk down two flights at 3am. This one does the job perfectly. It's lighter and plastic instead of steel, but for a second station that's honestly fine, it's not getting the same daily abuse as the main one. The bowl is wide and shallow so her whiskers never touch the sides, which she seems to actually notice and appreciate. Filter change is easy, just pop it out every month, and the pump barely makes a sound even in a quiet bedroom at night. Would recommend to anyone who needs a cheap, solid backup fountain without buying a second premium one.

great little fountain for the price, does exactly what it says
Elizabeth M.5/5Verified
This is our second fountain and it's honestly just as good as the pricier one for a bedroom setup. The 3L tank lasts a couple days between refills for one cat.
Zoe N.5/5Verified
Simple, does what it promises, and the shallow bowl means no more spilled water everywhere from her pawing at the edges.
Brittany R.5/5Verified
shallow bowl is a hit, no more whisker stress apparently
Amanda B.5/5Verified
I was skeptical since this is the budget option in their lineup but it's held up great after two months of daily use. The 3L reservoir is plenty for one cat and even keeps up with two if you top it off every other day. What sold me was the filter setup, hair and debris get caught before it reaches the bowl so I'm not fishing out fur every morning like with our old dish. The pump has a low hum that's really only noticeable if the room is dead silent. My cat took to it almost immediately, she used to avoid her water dish entirely and now she's at this thing constantly. For the price this is a no brainer if you just need a simple second fountain.

White one matches the kitchen and the pump noise is low enough that it doesn't bother us at dinner.
Kayla P.5/5Verified
Good little fountain, only gripe is the reservoir is a bit small if you're gone all day and have two cats sharing it. Have to top it off every morning.

Runs off USB which is nice, I just plugged it into a power strip near the litter room. No cord drama, no outlet hunting.
Sarah C.5/5Verified
Bought this as backup after reading the filter pulls hair before it hits the bowl. So far the water stays clear way longer than a regular dish ever did.
Mila S.5/5Verified
This has become the water station in our guest bedroom where one of our cats likes to hide out and nap most of the day. It's compact, plugs into USB so I didn't need to find another outlet, and the wide shallow bowl seems to be exactly what she prefers over a deeper dish. I was worried plastic would feel cheap after reading it's the lighter option compared to their steel line, but honestly for a secondary fountain it's more than sturdy enough. The filter is simple to swap out and keeps the water from getting that stagnant smell. Only real maintenance is remembering to change the filter every month or so. It's a solid, no fuss purchase for anyone who just needs a reliable backup fountain.

quiet little thing, works great as a second bowl upstairs
Nathan L.5/5Verified
set it up in five minutes, just plug in usb and go
Katherine C.5/5Verified
My cat used to only drink from the sink faucet, now he checks this thing multiple times a day instead.
Courtney E.5/5Verified
Bowl shape is great for whiskers but I noticed a faint plastic smell for the first few days of use. Went away eventually and my cat has had zero issues with it.
Brandon D.4/5Verified
cheap but doesn't feel cheap, plastic is sturdy enough
Courtney S.5/5Verified
Product is exactly what we needed for a second water station and works great. The only issue was the long wait for it to actually arrive, tracking barely updated the whole time.
Scarlett H.3/5Verified
Got this for my office so my cat has water while I work. The pump is genuinely quiet, I forget it's even on half the time.
Emma M.5/5Verified
My cat is extremely picky about where and how she drinks water so I was nervous ordering a fountain she'd never seen or tested. Turns out the wide shallow bowl was exactly the fix, she used to barely touch her old dish and now she's drinking from this multiple times a day. It's quiet enough to sit right next to my desk without being distracting, just a soft low hum you stop noticing after the first day. The filter does a good job keeping hair and debris out of the water so it stays fresh looking way longer than a regular bowl. USB power means I can plug it into basically anything without hunting for an outlet near her favorite spot. Really happy with how this turned out, especially for something marketed as the budget backup option.

Picked the black one for the laundry room and it blends right in, plus the pump is quiet enough I don't notice it running.

cheap but doesn't feel cheap, plastic is sturdy enough

Bought this after our main fountain broke and needed a stopgap, ended up loving it enough to just keep it as a permanent second station. The BPA-free plastic doesn't feel flimsy at all, and the reservoir holds enough water for a solid day and a half with one cat drinking regularly. What impressed me most is how quiet the pump actually is, I have it in my home office and it never once interrupted a work call. The shallow wide bowl design keeps my cat's whiskers from brushing the edges, which apparently was bothering him more than I realized with his old bowl. Filter changes are quick and painless, maybe five minutes every month. If you need an affordable secondary fountain that doesn't skimp on the things that actually matter, this is it.

cat drinks so much more now that the water actually moves
Skylar R.5/5Verified
The wide bowl shape was the selling point for me since my cat hates when her whiskers touch the sides. She drinks from this way more than her old dish.

my kitten found it within an hour and hasn't stopped drinking

perfect backup for the bedroom, barely hear it running
