Your pet’s overall well-being is your sole responsibility as a pet owner. You must provide all the love and support your furry friend needs to stay healthy and happy. But you can only do this when you understand what is expected of you. One of these expectations is providing your pets with a regular supply of safe, clean, healthy food and water. Cat water fountains help to meet this need partly.

Why Is Water Essential to Your Cats?

Your pet’s internal organs can only function effectively when sufficient water is in the system. Water also facilitates quick food digestion and ensures effective absorption of the nutrients from the food. Water also serves as a medium for transporting these important nutrients to all the cells in the body.

Water is an excellent lubricant for joints and cushions your pets’ internal tissues and spinal cords. Another body function where water plays an important role is in eliminating waste—drinking enough water makes urination easier for your pets.
Dehydration and illness often develop when your pet does not drink sufficient water. The early signs include dryness of the skin, pale and dry gums, and sunken eyes. Your pet may also show signs of lethargy or depression if he does not get enough food and water.

Why Get a Cat Water Fountain?

The regular feeding bowls usually force cats to bend their neck when drinking water. Young and healthy cats may not have an issue with this, but older cats may over-burden their spine if this continues. This posture also exposes the cat to dust and may cause hairs to fall into the water. These issues are eliminated when your cat drinks from a water fountain.

A water fountain provides constant running water for your pets without compromising their posture. This means your pets can drink more water without any inconvenience. Considering drinking fountains are designed to re-circulate and filter water, your pets get to drink fresher and great-tasting water with no impurities. This is another way to encourage your pet to drink more water.
PAWAii FunFlow Cat Water Fountain includes a UV germicidal lamp, which sterilizes the water to achieve up to 98.79% purity. Every drop of water from the fountain is clean, pure, and sterile. A four-stage fine filtration setup circulates soft water, ensuring the frequent removal of debris and hairs. Your pets can enjoy clean drinking water whenever they are thirsty.

How Frequently Should You Change the Filter?

For example, the PAWAii FunFlow Cat Water Fountain relies on a multi-stage filtration process powered by FunFlow UV Sterilization Cat Fountain Filters. These filters are made from safe premium materials, such as a non-woven fabric and resin that reduce hair, dust, and chlorine, as well as advanced activated carbon. The filtration process also removes the hardness in the water to improve the taste significantly.
The inbuilt filter in this water fountain should be replaced at least once every four weeks. This will help to maintain the freshness of the source water.
PAWAii FunFlow UV Sterilization Cat Fountain Filter provides you with six packs of replacement cat fountain filters. That means your cat fountain stays running for six months, ensuring your furry friend never runs out of pure drinking water.
