The drinking fountain is now for 1 month in our possession and we are thrilled! In our Ragdollmädchen was found that it has only one normal kidney and a shrinkage of the kidney, so it's important that she drinks a lot. Thanks to the well now this works wonderfully and our two Fellschnutis find it really great, it is played with the stream and the water seems very to taste, both of which are several times a day at slurp. Every Sunday the fountain is cleaned by me, that I find very important, is not an act, is absolutely fast, because everything fits well and virtually disassemble, rinse from the rinse water and with clear water and dry. My tip, I take BRITA filtered water and it calcified nothing! The filter I had already ordered, came as 3-pack and by the 4th week this has been replaced. Is very sweet and fun to watch that Gianni and Fiete already waiting for the water running when the fountain is turned back on after cleaning O) The pump is only loud when not ausrecihend water is present. We have underfloor heating + the baggy ends chicks because after 2 to 3 days, the water tank needs to be refilled, but it is all not so bad! So my recommendation to buy I admit, at least for owners of Purring Fellschnutis = ^ oo ^ =
