Petkit Eversweet Ultra
Ranked #3 in Best Pet Water Fountains
Petkit Eversweet Ultra
1 source$249.99as of Oct 10

The Petkit Eversweet Ultra is a large fountain with a 5-liter fresh tank, a separate 1.8-liter waste tank and a built-in AI pet camera. CNET's Tyler Lacoma scored it 8.5/10, finding it silent in continuous mode and praising the non-recirculating design, water heating and the features available without a subscription. He called it expensive at about $250, large, and slow to learn because of the number of app controls.

Strengths
  • — CNET found it silent in continuous mode over days of testing
  • — Water is not recirculated; it moves from a 5-liter fresh tank to a waste tank
  • — AI camera recognised the reviewer's cat and supports up to 15 pet profiles
Watch-outs
  • — Expensive at about $250
  • — Takes up more space than most pet fountains, per CNET
  • — The many app controls take time to learn

1 sourceall derived$35.99as of Oct 11

The PetSafe Drinkwell Multi-Tier Pet Water Fountain holds 100 ounces and splits it across two bowls at different heights. Reviewers found that especially useful in multi-pet households and for senior dogs or cats that need a raised drinking option. A carbon filter keeps the water fresh, and cleaning is easy as long as you keep up with the maintenance. It isn't completely silent, though most owners called the noise acceptable. Households wanting a low-profile, moderately quiet fountain to encourage hydration should look here.

Strengths
  • — Holds 100 ounces of water, sufficient for multi-pet households
  • — Multi-tier design with elevated upper bowl ideal for senior or arthritic pets
  • — Replaceable carbon filter helps keep water fresh by removing odors and debris
Watch-outs
  • — Requires regular filter replacement every 2-4 weeks

How they stack up

Petkit Eversweet Ultra

The Eversweet Ultra is the only fountain on this page with a camera, and CNET describes it as cycling water between two tanks instead of recirculating it as a pumped fountain does. Its 5-liter tank roughly matches the 168 oz PetSafe Drinkwell Platinum and is smaller than the 2.1-gallon Petlibro Capsule Dog Fountain. At $249.99 it costs several times as much as the Petcube Fountain, the other app-connected model here, and unlike the Petcube it has to be plugged in.

PetSafe Multi-Tier Pet Water Fountain

The Multi-Tier's two bowls at different heights are not found on the other fountains on this page. Its 100 oz capacity is below the 168 oz PetSafe Drinkwell Platinum and the 2.1-gallon Petlibro Capsule Dog Fountain, and its stream is not adjustable as the Platinum's is. It has no app, unlike the Petcube Fountain and Petkit Eversweet Ultra.
