Cat Water Fountain, Cat Fountain with Stainless Steel Tray, 2.5L/84oz Dockstream Water Fountains, Cordless Pet Water Fountain Battery Operated, Pet Fountains for Cats Indoor

Pre-washed all the pieces before assembling -- unit is easy to put together. Comes with a tiny brush to help with routine maintenance cleaning that is recommended bi-weekly. Filters are easy to install but should be pre-soaked to reduce tainting the water. Our cat was initially put off. (I would recommend cycling water for 2-4 hours, then rinsing the filters and fountain again to clear any lingering "flavor".) The 2-piece configuration with power and inductive pump motor is a great configuration. You can remove and refill or service the upper water container and not worry about having the electrical portion exposed to water: i.e. the water basin sits on the power/electromagnet base and can be removed separately. The inductive pump motor sits in the water basin and pushes water up the outflow spout above to serve your cat. The sub-pieces of the water basin and pump can be removed and separated for cleaning then reassembled. The unit is silent -- not just quiet as compared to our previous cat fountain. Even the outflow from the spigot falls so quietly that it seemed to unnerve our cat. It took several days for him to get used to using it (which included the use of treats to get him close to the unit). Because the proximity switch makes him jumpy as it starts when he gets close, we've opted for continuous running -- continuous flow only occurs if the unit stays plugged in. The unit is smaller than expected for 2.5L but works well for our single cat household. The base will alert you with lights when it needs to be recharged (if running on battery) or if water level is low. Very nice unit and highly recommended

This is, by far, the best cat water fountain I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned at least 6 different fountains over the past 10 years. It is extremely easy to set up, easy to fill, and easy to add water. It’s also very quiet and was the first water fountain that did not scare my black scaredy cat who’s afraid of her own shadow. It’s also ridiculously easy to clean! It took me less than 5 minutes to disassemble and clean the well, pump, and stainless steel water tray. I was done before the new water filter was done soaking in water (the manufacturer recommends soaking the filter in water for 5 minutes, followed by rinsing for 30 seconds). The manufacturer recommends completely cleaning the entire fountain and pump every two weeks. This will be an easy schedule to stick to because of the ease of cleaning the entire unit. In the past, I dreaded cleaning our water fountains because they weren’t easy to clean. This fountain was designed to have no 90° walls or corners that are hard to clean and get any and all gunk out of. The pump comes apart completely and easily for easy and convenient cleaning. Everything goes back together quickly and is ready for the new filter in a snap. The manufacturer claims that you should only have to fill the fountain once every two weeks, but we have three very thirsty cats, so I refill it every couple of days. It would probably last the two weeks if it was used by only one cat. The base has a battery strength indicator, which is helpful if you keep the fountain in a spot that doesn’t have access to an electrical outlet. Otherwise, it simply indicates that the power is on and the battery is fully charged. There is also an indicator that lights up if the fountain needs more water added. If you’re on the fence on whether or not to buy this pump, know that it’s truly worth every penny. The ease of cleaning the entire fountain is enough for me to buy this one again and again (we all know that fountains don’t last forever)… but this one may just be the one that does last forever.

I’m going to be honest, I didn’t think I was going to like this fountain, but the wireless pump drew me in enough to try it. I’ve had numerous fountains - different brands, different materials - over the past 10 years. Some were more expensive than this one, some were less expensive. So, as I write this review, I’m using the experiences I’ve had with ALL of those fountains for my comparison, and I’ve had the PetLibro for about 2 months now. FIRST: Set up - The set up of this fountain is SUPER simple. The instructions are clear, but you really don’t even need them. Everything is intuitive, and the fountain really only fits together one way. You can’t even put the motor in backwards thanks to the notched design that makes it fit neatly in the bowl. SECOND: Operation - Full disclosure, I’ve only used the constantly on function, so I can only speak to that. It stays plugged in, so I don’t use the cordless function, though I do like that it’s an option. The water flow is excellent, and it is very quiet. The lack of a window to monitor water level is what kept me from purchasing this sooner. I didn’t think the the red light that notifies you when the water level is low would be noticeable enough, but it really is. And surprisingly, the motor shut off when the level is too low actually works. When operating, the fountain is VERY quiet. I don’t hear any motor sound at all, and very little water sound. Refilling is quite simple - you can remove the bowl from the base, remove the top and fill it per the instructions. I know the instructions say not to just top off the water by adding from the top, but honestly, as long as you don’t overfill, I don’t see why you can’t do that in a pinch. I have four small dogs, so we have to refill at least once a day, and it doesn’t need to be rinsed out every day, so I do sometimes just top off. THIRD - and this is the kicker - CLEANING: The one thing that has always been painful about pet fountains for me is the cleaning. The taking apart and putting back together. We have always had at least two fountains, and with some of the fountains we’ve had, cleaning them was a chore. Lots of parts to take apart, clean, replace the filter and put back together. This fountain is SO easy to clean. Fewer parts, easy to put back together, and because of the wireless motor, so much easier to clean without worrying about the power end of a cord getting wet while you’re struggling to take the motor apart for cleaning. This fountain cuts the cleaning time in half at least, and because of the ease of cleaning, I’ve been much better about cleaning more frequently (every two weeks as recommended). For some reason, this fountain also doesn’t seem to get as gross as other fountains I’ve had get. FOURTH - Expense - The replacement filters for this are no more expensive than the filters for other fountains, and you can get them auto shipped, which is nice so you don’t run out or have to remember to re-order. They are smaller than most of the other fountains filters I’ve used as well. I’ve been surprisingly impressed with this fountain, and have replaced two of my three fountains with the PetLibro so far. When that third (least used) fountain dies, it will be replaced with a PetLibro.

So, first, my 4 star rating is due to my two 1 year old cats destroying it and turning it into a play thing. It simply isnt big enough for them, and they move it and dump it over, spilling the water everywhere. It is quite, I can not hear it working at all, it is very nice and easy to clean and refill. I used the battery function a few times, but my cats where not please that they couldn't get more water, they are greedy. The battery option worked fine, turned off until the cats came around, however, if they sat there too long, it would turn off, and then cat mayhem, This puts out a decent supply of water and there is plenty of it for a happy, un-terroristic cat.

Works as advertised. Same part as one that comes with the original fountain. Needed to replace the motor after 2 years. Noticed that the flow was weak even after replacing filters but once we replaced the motor/pump the flow went back to being strong. A bit pricey for what I think it is but it’s not something you buy very often.

I love this pet fountain. They offer clear easy instructions on how to take apart the pump for easy cleaning on a regular basis. Also my curious cats can't flip the cover off & spill water thanks to the clips holding it in place. No cords inside it as well. It's made with a lot of thought.

I love this cat water fountain! I had a different water fountain before and I had nothing to trouble with it. I love it because it is easy to use and the filters are easy to change. I don’t have to worry about my cats, turning it off and it has a continuous flow and is really nice. My neighbor had a fountain just like this and loved it so I bought one and I found out why she loved it because it is perfect.

I have the Petlibro Dockstream cordless rechargeable fountain in black. I bought this because I was wanting something that did not have an electrical cord in the water and I wanted something that didn’t have a rechargeable component in the water, in case of batteries somehow leaking. I wanted a safer fountain. This fountain fits the bill, for now. The only thing inside the water tank is the pump and that’s it. I’ve had it for 3 months now with 4 cats testing it out, and here’s what I like and don’t like: PROS: ***No energized cords in the water for safety, no battery components in the water that my cats drink ***Pump has zero wires and runs by induction *** Light weight, easy to clean, very few nooks and crannies, NO cord to deal with ***Aesthetically pleasing, if that’s something you’re looking for ***** Super quiet! ****** Very EASY to fill, no need to unplug because there’s NO cord. Just pick it up and fill. ****** Pump is easy to disassemble and clean(and I’ve had my fair share of dealing with pumps), the included cleaning brush has a metal loop on the end that makes it easy to remove the cover & impeller. **** Option for two flow modes to suit timid pets(bubbler or spout) and continuous run(plugged in) or motion sensor activated. ****My cats definitely are drinking MORE water with this, so that’s a good thing! ****** I’ve had no issues with the pump getting nasty or sludgy like some users. I think some of this comes down to water quality (wells vs. city water, filtered or non-filtered water, hard vs. soft water)and it’s going to vary in quality and the mineral makeup and hardness of water depending on where you live. I have city water and use filtered water from the fridge, which is a GE that filters chorine, chloramine, trace pharmaceuticals, cysts, arsenic, mercury, lead, and a whole lot of other stuff. If you have a GE fridge with the same kind of filter then you know what I’m talking about. Also, it might depend on the individual pet and whatever particular bacteria that gets into the water from their mouths. I do a water change and rinse well after one week and then a complete washing with hot soapy water after two weeks, along with cleaning the pumps and installing new filters. I use vinegar for hard water buildup as needed. I’ve had no issues, and have never had issues with slime or weird growths in any fountains or pumps that I’ve owned over the years. *******Battery life seems pretty good. I get close to a month from one charge. NEUTRAL: ****The tank is solid on the black version and you can’t see the water level(it’s opaque on the white model), it’s not a deal breaker for me since I wash them every week and it does indicate if I need to add more water. I can pick it up and guesstimate how much water is in it, but sometimes it would be nice to know at a glance. ***** Has a stainless steel drinking tray, which I’ve had no issues with such as rust, but I would like the tank to be stainless steel too and some alternative safer option for the spout like food grade silicone. It would be great to have as little plastic as possible. ***** Hand wash only. Not a deal breaker for me since it’s quick and easy to clean, but if you hate doing dishes then this might not be for you. CONS: Concerning LEAKS— some users have reported leaks down the into the dock, but can’t find any apparent source of the leak. Some users say they don’t see their pets being the cause of the leak. My observation is that this DOES NOT LEAK(provided you don’t overfill it). But I DID have the issue of having water pooling in the dock and around it and what I found is it absolutely was MY CAT making the mess! My cat would drink at the very edge of the tray on the back side and flick half of the water out of the tray down the side of the tank and into the dock and surrounding area. I solved this problem by moving the fountain against a wall so he couldn’t access the backside and then I had a splash guard 3-D printed that covers around the back. But then my cat would still make a mess drinking along the edge of the sides and front. The problem is that the drinking tray needs slightly higher sides. Also, Petlibro should make a splashguard for optional purchase similar to the one they have for one of the higher priced “smart fountain” models. I have another different brand fountain that I also use that has a slightly deeper drinking tray and no mess is made when my cat drinks from that one. After about two months, my cat learned how to drink from the water spout and now there’s no more mess and I’m happy about that. To those that have had this same mystery leak, it’s not a leak at all and is 100% your pet drinking and splashing water out from the edge of the water tray. ****** Motion sensor could be better. Sometimes my cat just stands there waiting for it to turn on and the sensor doesn’t detect it. It’s nice that it’s not being triggered by movement 5 feet away, but it needs to be more sensitive. It seems to do better if the pet approaches from the sides but can be slow to respond when the pet approaches from the front. *******Doesn’t run automatically every hour like it says. The description says it will cycle for 42 seconds every hour in order to keep the water circulating through the filter. It doesn’t. Maybe I got a bad one, I don’t know. I watched it for a solid hour and got NOTHING. I walk by to trigger it myself every so often just to get it to circulate. ****Filter holder tray does not disassemble for cleaning. It probably could be forced apart, but I don’t know if it would go back together very well. For those that get slimy pumps and buildup, this could be a problem area. *****Battery takes a very long time to charge. Sometimes a good 8 hours or more. ******* Water tray dries up. I’ve seen other users having this problem. THIS particular issue has been the biggest let down with this fountain. Everything was fine at first and the water stayed in the tray until I did my very first filter change. Ever since then there’s been problems with the water not staying in the tray. I found another user that investigated the issue further and it seems to be connected to the gasket that lays under filter tray that sits on the top side of the water tray. It seems that removing the filter cover for that first filter change loosens or shifts the gasket and it doesn’t sit properly after that and it allows the water to drain back into the tank too soon and not remain in the drinking tray. I am able to press down on the tray area and sometimes it’ll fix the issue for a week or it might be just a day. If my fountain automatically activated every hour like it was supposed to, then the tray would replenish and this wouldn’t be such a problem. The dry tray is also how I know the fountain isn’t automatically activating every hour like it’s supposed to. So again, I walk by to trigger it every so often to try to keep the tray filled. This problem, coupled with the sensor not always activating might leave your pet thirsty when they come for water. I could simply plug it in and then the fountain would run all the time, thus keeping the tray full and water circulating through the filter more but then that would defeat the purpose of purchasing this more expensive rechargeable model so that it can be placed absolutely anywhere over the less expensive non-rechargeable model that is plug in only and must be near an outlet (for power only, still has no cords in the water and I have that model as well in white). I’ve had many fountains over the years, some were a pain to clean, some were ceramic and heavy and got broken by a cat, some were just not quite what I was looking for. This Petlibro rechargeable fountain is not too bad on some levels, but overall it’s middle of the road for me. There are things I love, like no chance of a shock hazard from cords in the water, but there’s definitely things that Petlibro needs to improve and make it work properly, especially the water tray drying up. It’s clear that they did little if any testing to see how it worked in the real world. If they would fix these flaws, then it would definitely be a 5 star product. I hope this is helpful information for anyone considering purchasing this fountain.

Got these on an offer and the perlibro is defo the better fountain where mold and gunk build up is concerned, as you dont really get it. Occasionally a bit of pink mold very minute and easy to clean. Unlike the cheaper fountains

War sehr gut

Funciona muy bien para nuestras 3 gatas, se limpia fácilmente y aunque los filtros son caros, uno aguanta muy bien unas dos semanas de uso continuo siempre que no le caiga algún contaminante al agua.

Capsules de la marque PETLIBRO je trouve que les filtres de la marque sont de meilleure qualité et durabilité par rapport à des filtres d'autres marques

Love that the pump is cordless as cords in water fountains tend to get slimy easily. Very quiet especially when it's on the bubbling mode. One minus point is the filter cover is very hard to remove. Had to pull it open with quite a bit of force and I was afraid of breaking it! Petlibto should look into improving the design of the filter cover
