I have purchased many water fountains for my 3 cats @ the pet stores only to return them for many faulty reasons. I made the investment into Barry’s pet fountain! Words cannot explain the awesomeness! The bowl is always clean, no residue, NO NOISE.. Quiet.. unbelievable.. How its done IDK? but so appreciate it!! My cats are always drinking out of it.. The blue pipe collects a lot of debris. If you are thinking of a purchase and going back and forth with the money part of it, like I did… OH, MY, Buy it.. It is so worth the money, #1 for the product value, #2 the healthy water the pet will be able to drink knowing all the debris is out and not inside your pet, #3 your pet will drink water… and Enjoy it and #4 when I called a normal person picked up the phone and talked to me like my best friend prior to my purchase, so that was reassuring, answering all my questions and was helpful, SO hurry, get your drinking fountain so your pet can enjoy it right now! Thanks for my Fountain… FROM my 3 cats, TT, Sissy, & Sassy
hmmm lets see here. THIS IS MY 3RD FOUNTAIN for my Ragdoll cat, Sophie, and soon I will be acquiring kitty #2.
After having tried the basic Drinkwell plastic fountain and the stainless steel Pioneer Pet fountains, I was ready to give up on fountains all
together. Both Drinkwell and Pioneer Pet were difficult to clean and made of cheap materials that corroded quickly (within a couple months). I had to have a good fountain as Sophie, along with many kitties, has struggled with urinary tract issues in the past.
The Glacier Point Perfect Pet Fountain is really pretty cool. I don’t mind the fact that it looks like a science experiment because it receives 1st place! Easy to clean, made of safe materials, keeps the water ice cold with the chiller and ceramic basin, and most importantly I am AMAZED by the amount of water my cat is drinking! I kept her old water bowl nearby for a few days like Barry suggested, but within hours, all she wanted to do was drink water from the Perfect Pet Fountain. If you have a heart in your chest, and you care about your animals, do the right thing and make a one time investment in this quality product and quit wasting your money on Drinkwell, Pioneer Pet, and other brands of subpar fountains. You will not be disappointed!
This is a follow-up review. In June, 2011 we purchased the basic fountain. We were replacing a plastic Drinkwell fountain mostly because they are so hard to clean. The Glacier Point fountain has operated flawlessly ever since. The ceramic basin looks just like new because it is so easy to clean. I clean the system once a week. I replace the charcoal in the supply pipe every 2-3 weeks depending on when the water flow rate gets too low. We now have three male cats ages 7, 1 and 1. Each has his own way of drinking, and each likes the fountain, so they stay hydrated. Love it that its made in the USA, too.
I just wanted to say that I really enjoyed reading your start up instructions, and I’m glad I came across your product. In particular, I’m glad you recognized the problem that traditional pet water fountains present. I see that you are an animal lover, and I am glad that you were able to use your ingenuity to find a solution.
We just started using the fountain this evening and everything seems fine. Watching my three girls inspect it (I have three black female cats) was the entertainment of the night. They quickly passed the suspicion stage and started drinking from it.
My cat never used a fountain and went right to it and started drinking. She lays next to it like she wants to be sure it doesn’t get away. I had a cat who died from kidney complications and wanted the best for my new baby. This is wonderful. Thank you.
Just set up the fountain…exactly what we needed! The cats loved it immediately. We bought this to help with constipation (which happens in middle aged male cats). It is much quieter than I thought it would be. My background is in Electrical Engineering, so I appreciate the effort put in to develop such a simple design using high quality components. We did have a fountain previously, but it was hard to clean and very loud. After researching your product, it definitely meets and exceeded my expectations. Well done!
I am the mom of 23 rescued kitties and a pug dog! We have a busy thirsty household and I have been through literally 6 different fountains trying to find the right one for this crazy household. Finally! This fountain puts all others to shame! I can literally go a week to 10 days between cleanings and filter changes with 24 animals using this fountain!!! All the other stuff was DAILY cleaning and filter changes! My kids are drinking at least twice what they were drinking which is so much healthier! They love this fountain! They love the chilled water and they love the fountain running… it is a lifesaver for me.. saves time and is worth every penny. I thought long and hard before spending that money.. but I’m glad I did. And I appreciate getting my filters with free shipping too. All in all I recommend this to anyone, especially multipet households! Healthy, cool fresh water all the time for my kids… they deserve the very best! Thank you!
Purchased the basic fountain in july 2013 because i had not tried any other fountains before. I wanted to avoid trying the cheaper plastic fountains as i have two cats with allergies. I have three indoor cats ages 1.5 years to 9 years. It was my younger cat’s interest in drinking from a water faucet that sparked my researching ceramic drinking fountains. This Google search led me to your website. I am so thrilled with my basic fountain and very impressed with the ingenuity of the product. All 3 of my cats drink from the fountain which makes me happy. I also wanted to tell you how proud i am to have purchased an American-made product! The fact that you thought of repurposing the vinegar bottle also impressed me. Thank you so much!
After finally getting a cat, I wanted to review the use of the High Capacity Basic fountain. We have an 11 pound Maine Coon that we rescued from a shelter, there was no adjustment time for him to use the fountain, he’s not at all bothered by the bottle bubbling when it refills or the splashing from the outlet of the filter. Since bringing him home, he has been drinking on average 12 to 15 ounces of water per day. He’s small for a Maine Coon so I’m glad we got the HC fountain for when our other Maine Coons arrive. I am very happy with this fountain and have been telling everyone with animals about it. It’s more expensive than the plastic filters, but it’s advantages outweigh the slight cost increase. Thank you Barry for making such a great product!
I have just ordered my second Perfect fountain from Glacier Point.
These things are incredible. My orange tabby and Maine Coon cat are drinking an amazing amount of water compared to before. In fact I was noticing their consumption had almost stopped just prior to the arrival of my first Glacier Point fountain.
Now that I have two new cats I wanted to add the second fountain upstairs to help the new arrivals rehydrate and be as healthy as they can be.
If you are thinking of getting a fountain I recommend the Perfect fountain which has the water chiller. Worth the extra cost because the cats love colder water.
Also call and talk to Barry. He loves to hear from customers and has provided wonderful advice and fun anecdotes every time we have spoken.
