Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Noisy, clogs easily requiring frequent cleaning and started leaking after only four months.... After extensive review, starting with the bad reviews first, I came to the conclusion that all these commercial fountains are problematic. On a quest to build a better mouse trap I found this DYI fountain on YouTube: Filtered Pet Water Bowl It uses a 10 gallon external fish tank pump and I have it attached to a Hamilton Beach mixing bowl with the intake tube covered with a piece of stocking mesh. After four months now I can state it is easy to clean, very quiet, inexpensive to put together and my cat loves it. See the image I've added of my own setup, at this point #30 of the customer images below the Drinkwell images.
