If you are sold on the "active charcoal" b.s., have at it. The gurgling starts as soon as the larger particles clog the intake and/or the water is too low.ģ. There is no "tight seal" between the water entering and the pump intake). The pump gets staved-thanks to the obtrusive filter that gets in the way and is in the wrong location entirely. The water will get "shallow" at about the half full line. the design of a shallow basin, enclosed filter, and allowance of return water to enter the reservoir as well as, biggest peeve, the necessity to remove the power cable from the filter housing in order to clean it ARRRRGGGGHHH!!!Ģ. With the perspective of 6 years of usage and realization that I lost too many hours to quantify (time lost that I could've spent researching other products on Amazon-loving you), I feel like I just discovered self cleaning ovens or something akin.ġ. That's about all I can come up with now.īACKROUND data collection: At the time I purchased this fountain, it was just about the only game in town. It's quiet until inevitably the gurgling starts unless it's refilled (which means the quickly deteriorated quality of the water should be changed altogether-"topping off" as my original review species is not going to provide enough "fresh" water to restore the adequate volume of water and clarity/taste/color, etc.)Ĥ. Suction cups are not great, one tore off and has ever since created a PITA to keep it seated while reassembling the filter pump housing-major flaw-see cons for clarification.Ģ.

No more gimmicks, scams, misrepresentations or false advertising will prevail. I take it to the next level (the next lower level is 5 tiers down) before I can make an informed decision including the obvious reviews as well as working examples and feedback from YouTube (aka beginner stuff). I am the grandmaster and by admission I should feel shame or pride depending upon your perspective. If you think you're the GOT product reviewer, think again.
