PETLIBRO Replacement Wireless Pump for Cat Water Fountain PLWF005/PLWF115/PLWF105, Cleaning, Super Quiet Pump for Pet Water Fountain Dog Dispenser

Great fountain! Update 60+ days later- Still silent, as long as it’s on a flat surface and clean. My cat kept switching from the spout to the edge, where it spilled out and but they sell a spill guard for it! So I guess this is a thing with many cats. It’s $9, and works very well, shield the sides from your cat drinking off the ledge. Still love the fountain, love being able to see how much my cat drinks, and how it reminds me to clean and refill the water. Love it still and no issues. Update 30 days later- The noise sometimes gets louder or a slight ticking sound, and I have to shake it a little so the piece inside readjusts to make it stop, but it’s still pretty dang silent. Seems as long as you keep it clean, and it’s perfectly flat it will stay silent. My cat stopped using the spout part after a week or so, and started drinking from the very edge, so water would spill out on the floor and under the base. I’d have to dry underneath it everyday. I removed the spout and used the fountain as a bubbler which seemed to fix the issue, but after a week or so, again started drinking from the edge. I added the spout back, and again she started drinking from the spout. Trying different things like elevating it to see if it will make a difference. Edit: I’ll add a video of the whirring sound I mentioned below, but again, unless you’re pushing your face right next to it, you won’t hear it. You can see when I film above the fountain it’s virtually silent. A foot away, you won’t hear it. My cat didn’t want to use her other plastic fountain anymore for some reason, she would only drink out of a random cup I would purposefully leave out for her. I set up a camera near that area and noticed she was only drinking maybe once a day. Which isn’t enough. So I decided to give this rather expensive fountain a try and I’m so glad I did. My cat loves it! Why? I’m not sure and I don’t care. She is drinking up to 6 times a day now and I’m so happy. I thought she would be put off with the falling water from the spout so for the first week I just left it off to act as a sort of bubbler fountain. I added the spout shortly after and she loved it more. So good news! The fountain is right near my bed, and it’s very quiet. Not completely silent, if you put your face right next to it, you can hear the whirring but it’s so low that you can’t hear it from a foot away. It had a very classy and has a nice look so it complements the room nicely, and it’s easy to clean. My only complaint is taking off the top part to add a new filter, it’s a bit scary because you think you’re going to break it. I’ve only changed the filter once since I bought it so I can’t say if it eventually will or not. Will update if it does! Haha The app is pretty good, as long as it on a flat surface, it will notify you when your cat drinks. I know that’s accurate because I have the camera set up still and it has recorded the same times. As to how accurate the intake amount is, I’m not too sure, that would be hard to keep track of, but it does tell you how long your furry friend has been drinking and logs the time and also if they have met the water i take goals you can set. Besides that, I love this fountain and I’d gladly recommend it. The stainless steel bowl part is a good touch as well, as cats tend to get terrible chin acne if plastic bowls aren’t cleaned daily, so this is much easier to handle. I rinse it down every 2 weeks. You won’t be disappointed. Filters are cheap too.

My Cat and I Love this! It's so easy to clean! I can order extra filters on a subscription so they'll get here when I need them to. And the water looks nice and clear and clean everytime! The app has messed up a few times, for example, after I clean it and put in a new filter and I reset it in the app. It'll at first say I have 14 days until I need to clean and replace the filter again. But sometimes, and not all the time but sometimes it will act like I didn't hit reset when I go back into the app and it'll say my cleaning and filter is overdue. So if you want to have an accurate date on when you need to clean it again? I just close the app after resetting it and reopen it an hr or 2 later to check if it's still reset or not. Because atleast then you can reset it that day. Rather than the next day and it being a day off. I hope that made a little sense. Anyway, other than the app just being funny sometimes. It's a really good fountain and it tracks my cats drinking habits. And I just use the free version, which still tells me when to clean and replace the filter, and how much water my cat drinks during the day. It's also nice that it tells me if the fountain is disconnected or not synced and also it tells me when the water is low and needs to be refilled. Which is really nice! I say it's pretty worth the price for a fancy water fountain for your animal. It's very Durable and can't be knocked over, easy to clean, plugs into the wall easily and has a long cord, it's very quiet and you can't even tell it's there most of the time. So if you're asking my opinion and experience? I'd say I recommend this. And It's been great!

I bought this to replace a battery-operated Petlibro fountain (essentially the same model but with a wireless charging base) that malfunctioned.I saw this has a notification when water is low and some other features like changing the water flow settings, but I haven't really explored those because the app is useless. Here are the issues: 1. Refuses to calibrate. I have followed the instructions exactly and all I get is a notification that the base must be calibrated without the fountain on it and a suggestion to watch the video. The fountain is not on the base and there is no video, just a photo of the fountain. It will never send a notification that the water is low because it can't calibrate and monitor how much water is left in the fountain. 2. Connecting to wifi is obnoxious and hit-or-miss. Most home wifi networks these days have both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz bands and are able to use the same network name and password for both, so they appear as though it's just one network. A lot of devices can only use 2.4Ghz but the network is supposed to be able to automatically route it to the appropriate connection. Not the Petlibro - I had to go into my FiOS account, create a new name specifically for the 2.4 network (which meant I had to reconnect every other device that used 2.4Ghz) and then connect the Petlibro to that one. It took - no joke - 15 tries to connect after that. I both through Bluetooth and the device's hotspot, and it just would time out. at around attempt 10, it connected, but then dropped the connection almost immediately. 3. Cannot be reset to factory settings. Each time I try, it times out. 4. Cannot install firmware updates. Each time it tries, it times out. 5. Cannot remove the fountain from the app. This isn't because anything times out, but that's because there's no way to even attempt it. 6. Cannot reset the fountain manually. The only button is to start the wifi connection process which is a nightmare. The app also requests access to a LOT of data and is not clear about how that's used. At this point I've just disabled the wifi and am using it as a regular fountain - it's great at that, very quiet and the water stays extremely clean, filters are reasonably priced, it's incredibly easy to clean - but I basically spent $30 to fight with the app, since there's now no difference between it and the basic model. Even though the fountain is fine, I am giving it one star because the app is just so frustrating to deal with.

I originally purchased this because my cat loves water, and I thought this would be a fun and healthy way to keep him hydrated. The setup was super easy, and the companion app works really well. Pros: Easy to assemble and connect to the app My cat absolutely loves it and drinks more water than ever The design is sleek and quiet Cons: The automatic cleaning cycle isn’t enough on its own. I found that this fountain really needs to be rinsed every 2 days and refilled with fresh water. At least once a week, I fully disassemble the tank (the parts that separate) and wash them in lukewarm water with a drop of dish soap. Make sure to take apart the motor and clean the tiny propeller and other small pieces — this is where buildup happens. After noticing my cat had mild eye irritation, I researched more about maintaining pet fountains and discovered the motor propeller had developed a pink, slimy film. Since then, I clean it regularly and use distilled water, replacing the filters every two weeks. The difference in both my cat’s health and the fountain’s performance has been huge! The replacement filters are a bit pricey, but Amazon sells compatible options (just note that they don’t include a new cleaning brush). I did have to contact customer service once when the sealing ring came loose — they were a bit slow to respond, but the product does come with a 2-year warranty. Despite the extra cleaning effort, I’d definitely recommend it. My cat loves it so much that he actually stalks me when I remove it for cleaning until I put it back — that says it all! 🐾

Edit: the gasket/bezel breakage in some pictures happens if you pull the filter cover above the tray straight up. It’s also very hard to remove that way. Unfortunately, the instructions and videos don’t show you how to remove it properly—they just skip past that part. To remove it correctly: Hook your index fingers into the water drain holes on each side and gently pull them towards you. This unlatches the front of the cover without pulling at the part in the bottom. Swing up the front of the top cover then remove the back. When you replace the cover after changing the filter, hook the back first then snap down the front. Not doing this right is part of why my first fountain started getting very noisy over time. I was pulling the cover straight up because I didn’t know any better, and it allowed the bottom portion under the tray to get loose so water dripped around the filter. PETLIBRO should document how to remove the cover. Original: I’ve been using this fountain for a few weeks now. I love the fountain itself, but I don’t trust the app monitoring. I was using a competitor’s fountain with a corded pump and a filter that bisected the reservoir, and that was such a pain to deal with I found myself shirking on maintenance. Having the cordless pump and the reservoir be wide open makes refills and cleaning a snap. I also like the big wide bowl so there’s no whisker fatigue and that the cat’s chin rarely touches plastic because the bowl insert is steel. It’s a shame the spout and filter housing is still plastic, though. The pump itself is almost completely silent. You can hear pulsing if you put your ear right up next to it but it’s inaudible from more than a foot or two away. That part is nice, as my previous model had a distinct hum you could hear across the room. But while the pump is much quieter than my previous fountain, the water action does make fairly constant trickling sounds, coming either from the small waterfall it creates on top or from the return path into the reservoir. I took the fountain apart and carefully reassembled it a few times, and made sure it was completely full to the max line, but no change. I ultimately had to move it out of my office into the kitchen because the trickles were distracting. On the plus side, the pulsing water makes very visible ripples and I suspect the trickling noises attract the cat and remind him to drink, even if it did bug me. The one major criticism I have is the app monitoring. Either my cat is part camel and gets by on 4oz a day or, as I suspect, the app itself is missing about half his hydration. Supporting this theory, I actually watched it go almost a full day missing all of his sessions, along with intermittent “network error” messages coming from the PETLIBRO app on my phone. This wasn’t a WiFi issue—the app could see the fountain just fine, and immediately noted me taking it off the base, dumping and re-adding water, etc. His hydration visits that I personally saw just never showed up in the app that day. I think PETLIBRO has a back end internet service that has to be up and accessible exactly when the water is consumed so that it can be logged (ie the fountain has no way to store it and send it later) and it was down at the time. That was probably the cause of the network errors on my phone’s PETLIBRO app. Maybe that service is also intermittently missing sessions all the time, or maybe the scale in the base just isn’t that accurate within fractions of an oz and that’s adding up to a large error. But there’s simply no way a 10# cat on a dry food diet drinks only 4-5oz a day. I’ve reset and recalibrated the scale multiple times, and while the app always notices my refills and reports a reasonable water weight for them, this problem persists. The other criticism I have is that the included instruction manual *never* mentions calibration, either as a setup step or a troubleshooting procedure, and it has zero information on how to disassemble the pump for cleaning—even though the cleaning brush comes in the box. For that information you either need to check listing information or go to PETLIBRO’s website. Yet, PETLIBRO says calibrate first thing. Since I didn’t even know I needed to do that, as I went by the manual, my initial setup was uncalibrated. After reading the listing more closely I reset the fountain, pulled the filter, and did it all from scratch again, but who knows if that’s part of why things are inaccurate? PETLIBRO needs to update their manual with *all* the needed usage info and not rely on people discovering it elsewhere. That’s especially true for *setup* steps. So I recommend the fountain itself, but consider buying the “dumb” one that doesn’t use the app, doesn’t need calibration, etc. It’s much cheaper, and I suspect it’ll give just about as much value. It’s a shame the cheap model doesn’t come with the steel tray or I’d simply say buy it, not consider it.

This is the only fountain I have bought that doesn't suck. It has one of those proximity electricity bases (idk what it's called, the same thing where you set your phone on a charging pad and it charges wirelessly), so you can clean the entire fountain without worrying about shorting something about. You pick the entire fountain assembly off of the base. The base just stays there. You don't even have to unplug anything. You set it back down on the base after it's cleaned and refilled, and voila, it works again, every time. Why does nobody else do this? Absolutely 100% silent. It only gets noisy if the water level gets low -- and that means you need to clean it anyway, so take 5 minutes to do it and give your kitties clean water. It has a slightly different impeller design than 99% of the other drop-shipped fountains, and it has yet to fail or start clipping against the impeller housing. Easy to disassemble for cleaning. I do not bother with the app. I am sure it can help somebody, particularly with senior cats or monitoring health issues. But I do not use it. I plug it in and it works. That's it. It has outlasted 3 other models now. I have had it for several months, and I have yet to encounter a single problem. The cats use it, it's quiet, it stays relatively clean of debris thanks to the filtration. It's good. I recommend it heartily. If something goes wrong, I'll come back here. But for now, it is good. I would absolutely buy this thing again if I need a second one as opposed to even considering another brand.

I've had this water fountain for 5 months now. These are my thoughts: Pro: - Cleaning and filter change are only required once every two weeks. App provides reminders - For my dog's water intake, I only have to refill the water tank 1-2x in a two week period. - Continuous mostly-clean water flow Cons: - I religiously clean the entire fountain the the suggested 14 days if not sooner. Cleaning all the parts takes about 20 mins. There are a few small parts as well as nooks and crannies to clean. If cleaning and refilling a water bowl takes me to 30 seconds per day (7 mins across 14 days), then I'm not actually saving time. - The continuous flow of water is mostly clean but I have found food particles and fur. In a regular water bowl, that water would be discarded by the end of the day. In this fountain, the floating particles remain there until the next clean or I remove them myself. - If you are concerned about wasting water (my dog gets 🫣 drinking water), you may want to know that about an inch of water is wasted every time you clean the tank. Water does not properly dispense when it goes below this minimum water line. - The app - oh the app. I only use it to remind me when I need to clean and change the filters. As many users have said, it is absolutely inaccurate in monitoring water intake. I turned off the notifications because I kept getting notifications that the tank was empty (it was not) or that there were irregularities. Recalibrating the fountain requires dumping out all of the water. And sometimes the device doesn't even connect to the app. - Lastly, the cost of the Petlibro filter. It's the most minor con to me as there are knockoff brands that are more affordable and effective. Ultimately, the fountain does an ok job at what it promises. My experience leads me to believe that it's not actually that convenient. I was actually considering buying one for my sister who has two dogs and a newborn. But after owning this for several months, I would not burden her with yet another thing to manage.

We love this for our 3 cats. They are drinking a lot more water, because it doesn’t run out like bowls did in the past. It’s easy to pair with the app to see how often it’s being used and to see if it needs to be refilled and for reminders to clean and replace filters. We clean it once a week and replace filters every 2 weeks so that it will hopefully last along time. We’ve had it for 9+ months. It didn’t take our cats long to get used to it as it’s quiet. They love having continuously flowing water - similar to drinking from the bathroom faucet which they used to crave.
