Just so you know: I am not sponsored by or paid to promote the Aqua Purr fountain. I genuinely love and recommend this product based on my own experience as a cat owner.

Gift Idea Spotlight: The Aqua Purr Cat Fountain

If you’re looking for one product this Christmas that delivers on feline health and makes life easier, the Aqua Purr cat fountain is it.

I’m speaking from personal experience here! My own cats were driving me absolutely crazy. They constantly demanded that I turn on the kitchen faucet so they could stand in the sink and have a drink. While many pet parents think this is adorable, it quickly becomes annoying when you have multiple cats! I first saw the solution at a client’s home and immediately inquired about them.

Now, with a playful 5-month-old kitten who thinks the bathroom sink is her personal swimming pool, I needed a fix! I moved the unit from my kitchen to the bathroom (it was incredibly easy, thank you Steven!). All of my cats knew the new location instantly.

For years, we’ve loved the hydration benefits of fountains, but we always hated the constant cleaning, the slime, the noise, and the recurring filter costs. The Aqua Purr is a game-changer because it eliminates all of those issues. It connects directly to your faucet. It delivers fresh, clean water every time your cat activates the motion sensor.

Aqua Purr Key Features for Cat Owners

  • Never Needs Cleaning: Water never sits in a reservoir, so it can’t grow the slimy biofilm found in traditional fountains.
  • Always Fresh Water: The unit provides cool water straight from your tap and flushes unused water down the drain.
  • No Filters to Buy: There is no need for costly and recurring filter replacements.
  • Cat-Activated Flow: Motion sensor technology starts the water flow whenever your cat approaches, encouraging natural drinking habits.
  • Silent Operation: It utilizes faucet pressure instead of a pump, meaning there’s no constant, annoying hum.
  • Sink Stays Functional: The simple diverter valve allows you to use your sink normally without unplugging the unit.

To learn why the Aqua Purr is the must-have cat product of the season, we sat down with company owner and engineer, Steven, for an exclusive interview on his revolutionary design.

An Exclusive Interview on Feline Hydration and the Aqua Purr

Q&A with Steven, Aqua Purr Owner

The Frustration of Fountain Slime

JFB: For many cat owners, the biggest drawback of traditional fountains is the weekly, slimy deep-clean and the recurring cost of replacing filters. What inspired you, as an engineer, to design a product that completely eliminates both the reservoir and the filter? How did you ensure the ‘fresh from the faucet’ design is truly the most hygienic water solution for cats?

Steven: “My fiancée introduced two beautiful Siberian cats into our relationship. I quickly got a crash course in all things cats, including the weekly cleaning of their drinking fountain. This task was unpleasant at best. We had to completely disassemble the whole thing once a week. Then we cleaned all the accumulated slime and muck from the fountain’s nooks and crannies. The pump was also a bit noisy, and we needed to refill the water daily. All of this inspired me to invent the AquaPurr!”

How Self-Discovery Encourages Drinking

JFB: We know that cats are instinctively drawn to running water—often demanding it from the sink—due to an instinctual preference for fresh, non-stagnant sources. How did you utilize motion-sensor technology and the ‘on-demand’ flow to effectively train cats to use the Aqua Purr and ultimately encourage better hydration, which is vital for feline health?

Steven: “Cats notice everything you bring into your home, and the AquaPurr is no exception. When they check it out, the sensor detects them and water immediately begins to flow. They can self-discover the AquaPurr’s function, which is great news for training. The unit has two main components: a sensor and a solenoid valve. No pump! The sensor detects the cat and tells the solenoid valve to open. That allows the pressurized water in your home to pass through the AquaPurr and out the drinking spigot. When the cat walks away, it turns off. The solenoid valve is a long-lasting device compared to a pump that runs 24/7.”

Installation and Long-Term Value

JFB: Because the Aqua Purr connects directly to the faucet, many potential buyers might worry about difficult installation or losing access to their sink. Can you walk us through the simplicity of setting up the Aqua Purr, and from a financial perspective, how does the initial investment compare to the long-term cost of constantly buying filters and replacing worn-out pumps of traditional fountains?

Steven: “The AquaPurr can connect to a faucet, a plumbing shut-off valve, a garden hose, and more. When connecting to a faucet, you first remove the aerator. That allows for the installation of the diverter valve. The diverter valve lets the owner send water to the sink or to the AquaPurr. After using the sink, you leave the cold water on. You then use the diverter valve to send water to the AquaPurr. The water flow to the AquaPurr stops until the sensor triggers it. The cost savings come from both time and reduced expenditure for filters. The AquaPurr always flows fresh water from the faucet, so there is no reservoir to clean. Since the water is always fresh, you don’t need to purchase filters. If you worry about faucet water quality, I offer a standalone water filter kit with large 2″ x 5″ water filters that are long-lasting and affordable. Leaving the faucet on has no negative effect, even in the winter. Think of it as just an extension garden hose on your faucet with the hose-end sprayer closed off.”

Client Testimonial: Why This Is a Top Gift for Cat Owners

We always love to hear from clients who have found solutions to their cat’s finicky hydration habits. Stephanie Z not only uses the Aqua Purr but has been a devoted user since 2020:

“We bought our first Aqua Purr in January 2020. Trish loved drinking directly from the sink, but there wasn’t always someone around to turn the water on for him. As a boy cat, I knew getting him fresh water was very important. He was getting a little more finicky about using the usual recirculating fountains.”

“At first Trish was a little skeptical, but once I showed him how to use it, he loved it. He picked up on how to turn it on himself very quickly. I think it is probably one of the best purchases for him I have made. I would (and have) recommended this product to other cat owners.”

Stephanie’s story perfectly illustrates why this fountain is a game-changer: it encourages even finicky cats to drink. It provides the consistent, fresh water essential for male cat health. Plus, the dedicated support she received proves the company stands behind its product.
