Last updated:<\/strong> July 27th, 2023<\/p>

We were recently contacted by the team at Miaustore.com<\/a> who asked us to review their ceramic cat water fountain, which we were more than happy to do.<\/p>\n

We’re a big fan of cat water drinking fountains<\/a> here, and Smoggy especially loves to drink from one regularly, so we were keen to find out more and pass on our experience with this ceramic water fountain.<\/p>\n

At first, the review had to wait while Inky tested the box for size and comfort – I think she was missing the point of the review somewhat.<\/p>\n

The box of the Miaustore cat water fountain makes an ideal resting place.<\/p><\/div>\n

What’s in the Box?<\/h2>\n

Once I’d persuaded Inky to find somewhere else to supervise from, I opened the box. The box itself is made from sturdy cardboard, so there should be very little risk of your fountain turning up damaged.<\/p>\n

On opening the box, you are greeted with a lot of protective foam sheets, and when you remove the first layer you find the main base of the fountain. The base is handmade in Europe from ceramic, with a waterproof glaze. When this is removed, you can then get to the\u00a0three ceramic towers which sit in the base.<\/p>\n

The ceramic base of the fountain is the first piece to unpack.<\/p><\/div>\n

The three towers are all different heights, and the tallest one has a small electric pump fitted inside. The pump is very similar to pumps fitted to other pet water fountains. However this one is quite unique in that it is attached to the fountain by a flexible tube and is not fitted to the ceramic fountain itself. This should reduce\u00a0any vibrations or noise, which can be a problem with other fountains where the pump attaches to the base by little sucker feet.<\/p>\n

Next to unpack are the 3 ceramic tower pieces. The pump is inside the tallest one (on the right hand side of the box).<\/p><\/div>\n

Another feature which I haven’t seen before is that the pump has a USB connecter on the end of the cable rather than the more typical round connector.<\/p>\n

Installing the Fountain<\/h2>\n

The first thing to do is give the fountain a quick wash, as the parts had\u00a0picked up dust and small bits of polystyrene packing material from being in transit. Once clean and dry, it was time to put them together.<\/p>\n

I was slightly surprised to find there were no instructions in the box, however the fountain was very simple to assemble. There is meant to be a video from Miaustore online with instructions to assemble the fountain, however I couldn’t find it. This wasn’t an issue though, as all you do is place each of the 3 towers into the base, making sure the little spouts are in the right position so that the water flows from the tallest one down to the lower levels then into the base.<\/p>\n

You’ll notice that there are two raised circles in the base – I placed the two smaller towers over these, so both circles would be hidden.<\/p>\n

Using the Miaustore Fountain<\/h2>\n

After filling the main bowl with a few litres of fresh water, I plugged it in and almost immediately water started flowing. The first thing I noticed was how quiet the fountain was – there was no hum from the pump – just a very quiet sound of trickling water. As such I wouldn’t have any worries about being disturbed, so would be happy to put\u00a0this fountain anywhere in my home. You can see how quiet the fountain is from the video below – the faint noise in the background is actually a small fan on the other side of the room.<\/p>\n
