Cat water fountain for tap

thingiverse

There are many cat fountains on the market which create constant movement of the water. Some time ago I took PETSAFE DRINKWELL ORIGINAL DRINKING FOUNTAIN: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PETSAFE-DRINKWELL-ORIGINAL-DRINKING-FOUNTAIN-FILTERS-AERATES-WATER-DOG-CAT/132112805830?hash=item1ec2896fc6:g:NXEAAOSwTM5Yt~mZ It's working well but even if it has carbon filter it requires weekly cleaning (the walls cover with geesy substrate from bacteria) and filter replacement. From other side I noticed that the cat prefers to drink the water directly from the tap. That's why I designed this fountain for tap water and it was really well appreciated from my cat. The idea behind the tap fountain is quite simple - a holder for the tap nose (with small draft to tight to the tap pipe) and a small shallow pool from where the cat drinks the water. The excessive water is coming out from wide and curved channel in beautiful way, the water is fresh and cold (the tap water in our city has excellent quality). I plan to make a second design with even smoother shapes and with more universal tap holder (at the moment the design was made especially for my Grohe tap with 23.2mm diameter end).
