I had bought these wells already 6-7 years ago once and could remember that he was only briefly in use! After that I had the 2L drinking fountain from Cat it and was really super! Only the pump was often broken! As now, the pump broke again I am at 5 Cats again opted for this well! The distribution shutter immediately went kaput! Well still running but unfortunately somewhat geräuchvoller! The water does not spread on the dome because I can push as much rum as I want! For one of my cats is a very nice toy and would not lead to it would have transported the well through the house! ;) So I only had the kitchen something under water! So is not very firm! I'm going to buy but definitely not the round 2 liters fountain back to the present a little farther away from the bedroom! The pump is too loud! Is also perhaps habituation thing! And I want that my cats drink a lot and not just play! To have it both ways!
