Filtration for cat fountains is available in two types. One is mechanical filtration, which keeps cat hair and other debris out of the pump. The other one is chemical filtration, which cleans the water. No fountain should be without the first, but not all of them do. The thickest part of the filter covers the intake part of the pump, so nothing like cat hair or food can enter the pump using mechanical filtration such as the food-safe foam or sponge filter. Not only does this help keep the pump running, but it also eliminates the need for weekly pump cleaning, ensuring that the water is always fresh and pure.

Cleaning the Cat Fountain Filter

Using Vinegar and Hot and Cold Water

Give the cat water filter a thorough rinsing with hot and then cold water every time you clean your cat fountain (a spray nozzle is best). Put a few drops of vinegar in a bowl of hot water and soak for a few minutes every now and then. Rinse the dish thoroughly after that. Even if you microwave it for a minute on high, you can be certain that all undesirable elements have been removed. Keeping cats happy and healthy requires a steady supply of clean water, and nothing does that better than a handcrafted ceramic, food-safe cat fountain with proper filtration.

Vets often say that water is an essential component of your cat's diet, critical to the distribution of all other nutrients throughout the body, and it is vital that water be as clean as possible. Keeping the pre-filters in your pet fountain clean is a simple and effective way to help keep your pets happy and healthy.

Using Activated Charcoal

Natural toxin remover, activated carbon, or activated charcoal, is a type of activated carbon. Emergency rooms in hospitals and veterinary clinics frequently keep it on hand. If taken internally, there is no harm, and it is extremely effective at removing toxins. It is not uncommon for a doctor or veterinarian to order a patient to ingest activated charcoal if they have ingested toxins.

In a cat water fountain, charcoal is used to remove odors and tastes caused by impurities in the water. Nylon sacks are used to contain activated carbon pellets in the carbon filters of cat fountains. Impurities are drawn in and absorbed by it 66 times as much carbon is used in each of our filters, which comes to a total of 20 grams. In contrast, many commercial cat fountain manufacturers frequently require the carbon filter's replacement every two weeks or more.

This is why cat fountain carbon filters last at least six months and up to one year. The filter can clean the water continuously because the fountain's water is constantly recirculated. When using the same filtration media, it is common practice to suspend the filter from the aquarium's rim and let it dangle in the water to collect waste.

Final Thoughts

No need to spend too much on cleaning your water fountain for cats. You can use hot and cold water with the help of vinegar to effectively get rid of the bacteria on it. Cleaning it regularly can keep the water clean and safe for your cats.
