The water dispenser is very good. I have 7 cats and 4 of them are addicted to it. They drink from there all the time, even though I have a supplementary container next to it, and if the fountain is turned off, they just wait until we open it! The other 3 cats drink from both containers depending on their mood. I have had it for about 5 months and its performance has decreased. The flow is low, and in the past few days, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The issue lies in the pump. Even though there is a filter, it is not enough on its own. Cat hairs will pass through the container and during the water recycling process, they will accumulate and get tangled in the rotor (the little propeller inside the pump), eventually obstructing its movement and causing the pump to stop working. The photo shows how many hairs have accumulated, even though I change the water almost every day and the filter every month. I cleaned it with a toothpick and paper, turned it on, and it's like the first day! These pumps have a lifespan of 15,000-20,000 operating hours, assuming there are no manufacturing issues. Before you decide to throw away the product because it stopped working or is malfunctioning, take the time to open it and clean the pump. It only takes 5 minutes. Also, in the photo, you can't see another component that is between the rotor and the lid and has a sliding switch that regulates the water flow. If this switch is pulled all the way, it completely shuts off the flow of water. So even if you don't turn on the pump, you need to be careful because during external cleaning of the pump, the switch may turn and the water won't flow.
