It’s been a year (March 2014) since I purchased the Glacier Point Fountain for our cat, Hobbes. After years of using other not-to-be-named fountains, I was looking for a fountain that was easy to clean and a more healthy alternative for our aging buddy. I stumbled upon your fountain in my search, and have never regretted the purchase. It is by far the best fountain around. Thank you for inventing such a high-quality product that is easy to clean, easy to set up, and inviting for Hobbes to drink from. When my grand kittens visit, they love drinking out of the fountain as well…much to Hobbes’ dismay.
I have to share a little fun I have with Hobbes when I clean the fountain. After I fill the basin with water, I usually run the pump without the tubes for a few seconds which causes water to shoot up about 2 inches. Hobbes thinks that is just GREAT fun!
Thanks, again! Best fountain ever!
Satisfied customers,
Karen and Hobbes
I purchased the V90 Perfect Cat Fountain for my 6 yr old cat four years ago. He took to it immediately & drinks from it frequently. I bought it due to its unique features and its potential for promoting my car’s health. Before finding this fountain my cat suffered from an intestinal parasite similar (but far worse) than giardia. Treatment required me to administer a capsule of suspended pigeon poison every day for a week. By day 4 the drug had stopped the digestive problems, but caused days of seizures after I stopped it. As a result of the convulsions, the vet doubted he would reach full size or live a full life.
To flush his system and aid recovery, I shopped for a mechanized water filtration system with a chiller. I found exactly what I wanted in Mr. Farris’ brilliant invention. It is truly without peer on the pet fountain market.
After four years of use I couldn’t be more satisfied. My cat loves it, and I attribute his excellent health and growth to normal size to its use.
The relatively high cost of the product is offset by its utility, reliability and inexpensive replacement parts such as filters and tubes. The expenditure of 20-30 minutes a week of my time for cleaning it are all well worth the healthfulness and happiness of the smallest member of my family.
I highly recommend this product.
My younger cat will only drink from fresh running water and will refuse to drink from a regular bowl. In fact during Hurricane Sandy when we had no electricity for 10 days to power the motor she found the one faucet that dripped and drank from that. I have had this fountain for a couple of years now and I can’t say enough good things about it. Previously I had gone through numerous fountains which I ended up throwing away because of the mold and icky stuff that I couldn’t reach to clean off no matter what brushes I used, not to mention how time consuming it was. Now, I just run the basin through the dishwasher and cleaning or sterilizing the pump just takes a few minutes.
Besides the easy maintenance, my cats love drinking from this fountain and I recommend it above any others.
After much experience with various brands of cat fountains–and a lot of headache!–I took a chance with the Glacier cat fountain. What a difference!! It is so easy to keep clean, it’s so much healthier for my cats, and, best of all, my cats love their two fountains. I have six happy cats. The customer service is also superb.
Thank you, Mr. Barry!
We received our basic fountain in March of 2014. Our cat started drinking from it immediately and we really appreciate it because he now drinks a lot more water. In July we were cleaning the fountain and pump. The pump wouldn’t restart. We performed all the suggested checks to no avail. At 4:00pm Central time we called Glacier Point expecting a run around. We spoke with Patricia. She sounded very concerned and sent a new pump priority mail FREE that SAME day. We received the pump immediately. We installed the pump and it is working great. We were going to send the old pump back for their research of the failure but we first tried it again and to our great surprise the pump now operates.
We were willing to pay for the new pump since the old pump now works but Barry said as we were honest about the situation we could just keep both pumps.
Imagine that type of Customer Service in this day and time.
I bought the fountain for my dachshunds. It is easy to keep clean and change filters. I like that the ceramic basin is made in USA. I have had my fountain now for almost 3 yrs with no problems.
Wow! I literally just received the fountain about a half hour ago.
I unpacked it (very safe packing almost to the point of overkill), filled it up, and put it on the floor and waited. Did not wait long at all. As soon as I stepped back one of my cats was there, sniffing around and doing the things that cats do with new things. Then, she sat down and immediately started drinking. And hasn’t stopped!
Granted, it’s only been here an extremely short time but I am very impressed. I’ll give it a couple weeks to see how the filtering does–as well as how cool the water stays. I live in Arizona, so the coolness is very important.
Barry…
Great product. I have really enjoyed my fountain. So much better and easier to clean than the store one I used to have.
Thanks for designing a great product. I also appreciate the fact that you tell people to just use empty vinegar bottles (and designed it that way) and that you sell recharge kits for the filter. Both show a consideration besides just making money… Refreshing.
Sincerely
Chris
My cats love their Glacier Point Fountain! We had tried other fountains only to have them clog and burn out, usually right after the 30 day warranty expired. My cats are snobs who only drink moving water so the typical bowl set up wasn’t cutting it. I decided to spring for the Glacier Point after my 2nd cat was diagnosed with CRF. I knew it wasn’t going to reverse her condition, but maybe it would help the rest of our cats avoid the same fate. Set up was extremely easy, and the videos make it almost stupid proof. We were up and running 3 minutes out of the box and the cats were using it within 5 minutes of setup. We haven’t had any problems with sediment or clogging regardless of how many catnip mice my cats dunk. Thank You Barry, you make a great product that truly is good for our pets.
Let’s see Barry says about three minutes to set up. — Yep took me three minutes from box to water.
Barry said cats should have no issues drinking from the fountain. — All four cats started drinking from the new fountain by the time I finished cleaning the old fountain. No need for break in time.
Glacier Point Pet Fountain is everything Barry says it is. Good old USA product with clear instructions and our Cats love the fountain
