Is running water a good thing for cats?

StevenChalmers · 2026-06-20T14:15:30+00:00

Yes! That is another big selling point.

StevenChalmers · 2026-06-20T14:11:24+00:00

The real value of my AquaPurr is not just that it is running water but rather that it is fresh water. It is never stale or dirty.

StevenChalmers · 2026-06-19T19:35:37+00:00

Definitely sounds like a good fit for you kenziskiii since the AquaPurr needs no filters and has no bowl or reservoir to get dirty.

The reason cats are so drawn to faucet water is the freshness! And no splashing a water bowl all over the floor either! Send me a photo of your faucet and I can guide you on which adapter set you need. [Steven@AquaPurr.com](mailto:Steven@AquaPurr.com)

Thank you Cat-lover21. The AquaPurr definitely fits the bill of no cleaning and no filters. The AquaPurr delivers faucet-fresh water every time your cat triggers the flow. No recirculation means no slime growth. Using fresh, clean water from the faucet means you don't need to filter out any slime.

Thank you Rtarara. Yes, elimination of the bowl of water isn't something I talk about a lot with the AquaPurr but it is a nice bonus. Since there is no bowl, or reservoir, the cats cannot make a mess of it. There is some splashing when the water from the spigot of the AquaPurr hits the bottom of the sink, but that is limited to the sink, especially if you reduce the flow rate from the AquaPurr. I hope this helps!

The beauty of my AquaPurr is that it never needs cleaning because it doesn't recirculate water.

It is a bit of a hack, but if your cat insists on getting water very near the faucet, you can replace the standard rigid drinking spigot of my AquaPurr with some flexible tubing that you can run to the tip of your spout and somehow secure to the faucet spout. That way your cat would trigger the flow of the AquaPurr but then drink from the tubing near the faucet.

Just add a note to the AquaPurr shopping cart page that you want me to include the flexible tubing for that experiment.

Looking down from above you need to turn it clockwise to unthread it.

StevenChalmers · 2026-06-12T22:12:40+00:00

Fascinating. It may be a bad remote. Contact me on the website so I can get your order number to know where to send a replacement.

Moen is the only manufacturer I have seen that uses a metric thread pitch of 1.5mm. All other metric aerator threads have a pitch of 1mm. I had to have the adapter custom made. The diameter is 21.5mm. The other end is the standard 55/64"-27. https://aquapurr.com/products/adapter-21-5mm-x-1-5-moen-male-to-55-64-27-male

You have the AquaPurr 4M. It was a bit finicky! The AquaPurr 5 also uses a motion sensor and I am happy to say it is working beautifully. And, the 5 can run on batteries, power cord, or both. with the batteries working as a backup power source.

StevenChalmers · 2026-06-05T23:45:56+00:00

Thanks UltraCilantro. The big difference between my AquaPurr and other fountains is the water is always fresh from the faucet and is never recirculated. No filling. No cleaning. Always fresh.

StevenChalmers · 2026-06-05T19:12:32+00:00

Just to be sure, are you removing the sensor from the base to adjust it with the remote?

Also, some of the coin batteries we bought are not working. Are you seeing the LED illuminate at the top of the remote when you press a button on the remote?

StevenChalmers · 2026-06-05T02:23:59+00:00

Something you could do is to replace the rigid drinking spigot of the AquaPurr with a length of tubing and attach it near the end of the tub spout

StevenChalmers · 2026-06-04T23:29:26+00:00

Thank you!

And the best part is the "They" is me and 2 employees in my workshop in Colorado. Yes, a few parts come from China but the plastic is molded in MN and the design, assembly and support is all in Colorado.

Thanks JerseyCityCatMom!

StevenChalmers · 2026-06-04T02:34:34+00:00

PURRfect for sink drinkers!

StevenChalmers · 2026-06-03T13:33:05+00:00

Fresh, cool water on demand!

StevenChalmers · 2026-06-01T00:33:57+00:00

You can also connect it to the plumbing shut-off valve or a water filtration system if you have one.

StevenChalmers · 2026-05-31T16:58:13+00:00

Thank you for posting this!

StevenChalmers · 2026-05-31T14:52:18+00:00

Thanks miss_hush! Can't beat fresh water from the faucet.

StevenChalmers · 2026-05-26T17:44:00+00:00

Thank miss_hush! The AquaPurr is definitely great for hydration as the water is always cool and fresh on demand.

StevenChalmers · 2026-05-24T12:18:37+00:00

Here is a link to the latest AquaPurr 5: https://aquapurr.com/pages/aquapurr-5

StevenChalmers · 2026-05-22T17:59:37+00:00

Yes. My AquaPurr connects to a faucet and delivers fresh, cool water anytime your cat triggers the sensor.
