Hey guys
I'm having some fountain related thoughts, thought I might ask for opinions.
I currently have a catit for my 2 guys. They really like having the water circulating and I enjoy not having to deal with a conventional bowl.
about a week or two ago I noticed that my fountain has started gurgling more often than usual, and the water doesn't spill over the edge of the dome the way it usually does. I've been cleaning both the filter (it's a new one this week actually) and the pump itself regularly....of course I'm cleaning the bowl too! I just think that after 2 years of use, the pump itself may be dying.
So I have some options to consider before it completely blows:
1) I could try to order the pump online from the states or the UK...shipping would probably make it just as expensive to buy a whole new unit but I wouldn't be throwing out a big hunk of plastic.
2) Buy a new catit when I find them on sale next.
3) get a different kind of fountain. I have experience with the freshflow and they're ok, was wondering about some reviews of the drinkwell though.
4) I've seen a couple people on here build their own fountain, and that's kind of appealing because it'd mean it'd be easy to replace the pump on. However, it'd have to be something low to the ground, because dynah lays on the ground when she drinks (no we don't understand why).
Any opinions?
