The importance of good hydration for animals

Like humans, cats and dogs need adequate hydration to keep their bodies functioning properly. Insufficient water consumption can lead to:
✅ Kidney and urinary problems (stones, infections)
✅ Difficult digestion
✅ A decrease in energy and vitality
✅ Dry skin and dull coat

Veterinarians recommend always leaving fresh water available for your pet.

Why choose a water fountain rather than a classic bowl?

Water fountains offer many advantages over traditional bowls:
✔ Moving Water : Stimulates the animal's natural instinct to drink more.
✔ Continuous Filtration : Removes impurities and keeps water cleaner.
✔ Water Oxygenation : Improves the freshness and taste of water.
✔ Less contamination : Reduces the proliferation of bacteria and dirt.

Cats, in particular, are known to be picky drinkers. A fountain can encourage them to drink more and stay healthier.

The essential role of activated carbon filters

Activated carbon filters play a key role in maintaining water quality. Here's how they work:
🛑 Removal of impurities : Retains particles, hair and residue.
🚫 Chlorine Odor and Taste Reduction : Improves water flavor for better appeal.
🦠 Contaminant Filtration : Captures certain bacteria and toxins for cleaner water.

💡 How often should I change the filter?
For optimal efficiency, we recommend replacing the filter every 2 to 4 weeks , depending on usage and water quality.

🔇 Are water fountains noisy?

This is a common question! Our fountains are designed to be ultra-quiet and do not exceed 30 dB , a sound level that is almost imperceptible.

✔ Quiet pump for a peaceful environment
✔ Night mode for even more discretion
✔ No annoying dripping noise

🛠 Maintenance and cleaning: practical advice

To ensure that your water is always clean and healthy, here are some recommendations:
🔹 Weekly cleaning : Put the fountain in the dishwasher and that's it.
🔹 Filter change : Every 2 to 4 weeks for optimal filtration.
🔹 Descaling : If your water is hard, use a little white vinegar once a month.
🔹 Pump Check : Clean it regularly to prevent residue buildup.
