We’ve had our ThirstyCat Fountain for 4-5 years now, and it’s still going strong! Due to my heavy handed scrubbing once per month, the glaze is starting to get thin in some areas, but it’s still perfectly functional & beautiful. Our 5 cats prefer the fountain over any other water bowl we’ve ever provided. As you can see in the photo, one of our cats, ‘Milo’, especially loves his bubble up drinking fountain! You won’t find a better built cat fountain anywhere, that lasts for many years, and is absolutely adored by your kitty family! THANK YOU Keith & Jackie!!!
NOTE FROM THIRSTYCATS – The glaze doesn’t get thin. It is part of the fountain inseparable from the ceramic body. What happens is mineral deposits, specifically calcium, builds up if you have hard water and makes it appear the glaze is wearing. It isn’t. Simply clean with 1 tbs. salt to 1 cup white vinegar and the calcium will completely vanish. HERE IS A POST ON THAT.
