Question 1

Is there a way to purchase just the water pump?  Mine stopped working.

Accepted Answer

YES! But Two things 1. Don't buy from Catit. 2. test the USB adapter first!      1.  This green flower model uses a 'USB-1020 3W USB Brushless Submersible Water Pump' this is actually a generic part. Copy that description over to ebay, you'll find it for about $7-8. I did this and it's exactly the same thing.   but.. 2. test your USB adapter that goes into the wall. I got the new pump and then discovered it wasn't the pump, it was the power adapter. You can use practically any usb wall adapter for this.

Question 2

Is it easly flipped? My cats like to flip their water bowls over.

Accepted Answer

Depending on your cat, my cat likes to get into everything. So eventually he was prying his paw underneath the lip of the blue top to get down into the fountain and play with the pump. Most of the time he just knocked the whole thing over. I tried using command hooks to hold it down and then we wrapped duct tape around the whole bottom and there was one time he managed to flip it over. But being a clean freak I didn’t like that whole idea. So we then started putting it in a pot (one wide enough but short enough they can reach their water dish with ease)

Question 3

Is this a plug in or battery operated

Accepted Answer

This is one of the things I especially like about it. The USB plug goes into a regular household plug, and it's very easy to detach. I'd been concerned that it might have to be located where the socket on the wall was hard to reach. - bane of my existence. You know much muscle it takes to pull some plugs out, depending on which way they're aimed? But this, USB just slips right out and back in, no problem. A battery backup might be nice but I don't know where you'd put it. The other thing I like best about this fountain is that it's so simple.

Question 4

How easy is it to clean the pump?

Accepted Answer

I used hydrogen peroxide. We used hydrogen peroxide and then sterile distilled water to clean trache appliance on new trache patients so I figured it would bubble good and clean the pump. I used a clean soft toothbrush because that's all I had and my cat had spit up in the thing. I quit using the filter because it just seemed like i could keep it cleaner without them. The filter just looked nasty really quick in my opinion. I have 2 and so while i am bleaching one out (not with pump in it) then I have a fresh one for her.
