How it works
Steel, moving water, three parts
Cats drink from water that moves and walk past water that has been standing since breakfast. This keeps 3.2 litres moving all day, on the kitchen floor.
Surgical-grade steel
Tank and cover are 316 stainless, the grade used for surgical instruments. No open grain, nothing scratched for a film to settle into.
Filtered three ways, then UV
Water passes a sponge, then activated carbon, then ion-exchange resin, and a UV lamp in the pump housing runs on it as it goes.
Three parts, no tools
The cover lifts off, the pump unclips from the tank floor, the tank empties. Nothing unscrews, and all three go in the dishwasher.
Before you buy
Six things worth knowing first
-
-
It comes apart in your hands.
Cover, tank and pump separate with no tools, and all three are dishwasher safe.
-
Moving water is the whole trick.
They walk past water that has been still since breakfast and drink from water that moves.
-
Check it without opening it.
A round window in the front wall shows the water line from across the room.
-
3.2 litres, moving all day.
108 oz in the tank, on a 5V pump quiet enough to live in a kitchen.
-
It fits beside the counter.
9.17 × 7.56 × 6.77 in, with a 3 ft USB cable to any wall adapter.
Why choose it
Why choose the Steelbrook
The filter is the running cost
Every fountain in this class takes a fresh cartridge every two weeks, and that never changes. The box of filters, not the fountain, is what you go on buying.
They drink where you can see them
A cat that has ignored the same bowl all year will still stand at the sink and wait for the tap. Moving water is what they hold out for.
The level reads from the doorway
A round window sits in the front wall. The water line shows through it, so you check it on the way past instead of lifting the cover.
Nothing to reach into
There is no narrow channel to push a brush down and no spout to fish out. The parts come apart by hand and go on the top rack.
Their warranty is longer
The other steel fountain on the table is covered for life. This one is thirty days from delivery, money back. Their line, not ours.
Fill the tank, seat the pump, run the 3 ft cable to any USB adapter.
Put it where the bowl was, and leave the bowl out for the first few days.
Read the level through the window on the front wall. The cover stays put.
A fresh filter every two weeks; on wash day the three parts go in the dishwasher.
Straight comparison
Three fountains, three ways the year adds up
A steel fountain is not the only way to run moving water. The cheap way in costs less at the till and more every month after — the table is what each seller publishes.

Plain terms
Three things before you order
The filter is a consumable on a two-week schedule, here and on every steel fountain in this class. A box of twelve covers six months, so it is one order in spring and one in autumn.
It is not a self-cleaning object. The tank and the cover still need washing, the same as a bowl does. The three parts separate without tools and go in the dishwasher, which makes it quick, but a person still runs the dishwasher.
And some cats keep going to the tap. A cat that decided years ago that the faucet is the correct source of water may go on believing it, and no page can tell you which kind lives in your house. That is what the thirty days are for.

Questions & answers
What if my cat ignores it?
Put it where the bowl was and leave the bowl out beside it for the first few days. Cats go to water that moves and walk past water that has been standing since breakfast, and most come to investigate on their own. If yours stays loyal to the kitchen tap, send it back within thirty days.
How do I get my cat to switch from the bowl?
Do not take the bowl away. Set the fountain next to it, let it run, and let your cat choose. The sound and the movement do the work, and a cat that already jumps on the sink when a tap drips usually takes a day or two.
How hard is it to clean?
The cover lifts off, the pump unclips from the floor of the tank, and the tank empties. Nothing unscrews, there is no narrow channel to push a brush down, and all three parts go on the top rack of the dishwasher.
Does it run all the time?
Yes. The pump is 5V and quiet enough to leave running overnight in a kitchen, and running is the point, because water that keeps moving is the water they come back to. It draws about as much power as charging a phone.
What is in the filter, and what does the UV do?
Water passes a pre-filter sponge, then activated carbon, then ion-exchange resin, and a UV lamp inside the pump housing runs on it as it goes through. The cartridge is a consumable and changes every two weeks.
What does 316 stainless mean?
It is the grade of the alloy — the one used for surgical instruments. 316 carries molybdenum, which resists corrosion better than the 304 most kitchenware is made from. The tank and the cover are both 316.
How often do the filters change, and what do they cost?
One every two weeks, which is the rhythm on every fountain in this class. A box of twelve covers six months and costs $39.90. The nearest fountain with the same published specification charges $114.00 for those same six months.
Their warranty is lifetime and yours is thirty days. Why buy yours?
It is, and that is the one line where the other page beats this one. Ours is thirty days from delivery, money back — the window that answers the only question that actually decides this, which is whether your cat drinks from it.
