Product Information
Full details
The Cat Mate 2.2 Litre Stainless Steel Cordless Fountain is designed for cat owners seeking a hygienic, convenient hydration solution that encourages better drinking habits. Its primary benefit is the combination of a high-quality food-grade stainless steel bowl and cordless operation, which allows for placement anywhere in the home without the constraint of nearby outlets. While the unit provides excellent filtration and quiet performance, it is important to note that the system relies on battery power and regular filter maintenance to ensure consistent operation.

FAQs
How often should I change the filter?
It is recommended to replace the filter monthly to maintain optimal water quality.
Is the stainless steel bowl dishwasher safe?
Yes, the stainless steel portion is food-grade and can be cleaned in a dishwasher for easy maintenance.
Can I use this fountain for dogs?
While designed for cats, it can accommodate smaller dogs, though the 2.2-litre capacity may require more frequent refilling.
How do I know when the batteries are running low?
If the motion sensor response time slows down or the pump fails to activate, the batteries likely need to be replaced.
Is the pump silent?
The pump is described as whisper-quiet, making it ideal for quiet homes or bedrooms.
Troubleshooting

Check the battery level and ensure the sensor lens is clean and unobstructed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is designed to be intuitive: simply insert the batteries, install the filter, and fill the reservoir to the indicated line. Ensure the stainless steel basin is seated correctly to allow the pump to circulate water effectively. For cleaning, disassemble the unit monthly to wipe down the bowl and housing with mild soap and warm water. The filter should be replaced regularly to ensure the water remains fresh and free of debris. Always keep the pump submerged to prevent dry running, which can shorten the lifespan of the motor.
