The stream of water is adjustable!! There is a tiny switch on the motor.
This fountain works well. I was concerned at first because the stream of water was sort of strong and it freaked out my cat (doesn't take much). I wanted to turn the flow down but there was nothing in the instruction book about doing that. I asked the question to the community here on Amazon and every answer said you could not change the flow of water. Well I studied the matter a little more and found a tiny little switch on the motor with a "+" symbol and a "-" symbol. If you move the switch to the minus symbol you restrict the flow of water so that solves the problem. I just wanted to let people know this.
My cat is still not drinking out of it as she is used to the faucet in the bathroom. She has gotten to the point where she won't drink water out of a bowl she only wants us to turn the faucet on for her. So we bought this thinking that it looks like a faucet. It's only been a few hours so hopefully she'll use it soon. But I think it's a good product so I'm giving it five stars.
UPDATE - It's been 3 days and the cat finally started using it. So hopefully she will like it and continue to use it and stop hanging out on the bathroom vanity. I had the flow turned down as far as it would go. This seemed to cause the stream to splash and make noise and also splash out onto the floor. I decided to try increasing the flow and now it's very quiet and not splashing. Hopefully this won't cause my cat to not like it as much. We'll see.
Update - it's been several months now and our cat still likes it. It seemed a little low to the ground for her. So I made a little wooden thing to lift it up higher. She seems to like it even better now.
