Gravity water bowl

[David & Mochi]

Not sure if we can post non diabetic related things here but idk of other pet forums yet. I was trying to find a gravity water bowl that wasn't plastic but every single one I've found on amazon that is stainless steel i see reviews talking about them rusting. Can anyone recommend a glass/ceramic (which I havn't even been able to find) or stainless steel version that is known to be rust/lead free? I've spent hours searching to no avail.

Yes you can post questions like this on main health.
Can’t help you with it though but I’m sure someone will be able to.

What about a pet fountain? There are stainless steel, glass, and ceramic version. These do need to be plugged into an outlet and the motor can be noisy (no different from an air pump for a fish tank IMO).

I had better luck with the fountain, my cats splashed the gravity bowl water everywhere but love their fountain and don’t make a mess anymore

She's liked the gravity water I just don't like it being plastic and I've yet to find a stainless steel one on amazon without reviews mentioning rust so I was hoping maybe someone has found one that doesn't

What fountain do you use? Everyone I found on amazon all had reviews of the pump breaking easily or the filter not working well

Sorry you were waiting on me! I stepped away to check on Kobe and his brother. We have the Catit. I think we have had it over two years.

We also had this cupcake one. Our cats showed a slight preference for the Catit, but I liked both. Both are easy to clean. I use a bottle brush and a little baby bottle brush intended for cleaning out the small spaces. Very hot water and just a tiny amount of dish soap.

Our original pump is still going strong, but the Catit has a replacement pump for $15. The Catit replacement filters are on sale right now. I should be getting some money from Catit! lol

I like this model: https://www.chewy.com/petsafe-drink...u-v8VJT5Gsm0FGypB5qWzwkCQ5khU-WsaAoYQEALw_wcB

The link is to chewy, but I got mine at PetsMart. I like it cause it’s easier to take apart and fully clean than others I’ve used

What kind of brushes seem better for cleaning? Are stainless steel tube brushes better or will they scratch parts and want like a softer bottle brush type of thing?

Softer bottle brushes. Big one like you'd use for a water bottle, and a little one that you'd you'd use on a smoothie straw.
