Her water bowl is full. But why won't she drink?
There's a reason she keeps walking away. And it's probably not what you think.
Here’s what’s happening ↓
You probably think shes just being picky
Cats evolved from desert-dwelling ancestors. That instinct still influences them today—which is why a still, stagnant bowl of water may not be very appealing.
Smarter Hydration requires a different approach💭
What's really going on..
It isn't the water. It's the movement.
In the wild, cats are more likely to encounter fresh, moving water from streams and rivers than water sitting in a bowl. Moving water is naturally more noticeable and can signal that it’s fresh and safe to drink.
Which raises the obvious question: what if the bowl moved too?
The Problem With the Traditional Water Bowls❌
Plastic, ceramic, or traditional bowls can all develop that nasty, slimy film over time. It can cling to the surface, trap grime, and leave the bowl smelling funky and stale—sometimes before you even notice it. And once it smells wrong to her, she’s not thinking twice about walking away.
A bowl is just an open container sitting in a room. Hair, dust, and whatever else is floating through the air can land in it and stay there until you change it.
Would you want to drink water that’s been sitting out since last Tuesday?
What a fountain needs to do right
A fountain shouldn't just move water. If it's going to replace the bowl in your kitchen, there are four things that matter:
-
Water with continuous movement
Many cats walk past still water. Keeping it flowing is the natural instinct.
-
Quiet enough to leave running
Must stay under 20dB. Keep water moving without adding a constant hum to your home.
-
A material you can easily clean
You'll wash this monthly for years. Some materials hold a film; some wipe clean.
-
Filtration that works
Gets rid of Hair and grit once and for all.
We made one that does all four✅
This is Everlo🐾
A 2.2-liter stainless steel fountain that keeps water moving and filters it as it circulates, giving your baby fresh, filtered drinking water—the way cats naturally prefer to drink.
It starts when she does
The pump only runs when she’s actually there. A built-in sensor starts the flow when she approaches and shuts it off 30 seconds after she leaves.
At under 20dB, it’s virtually silent while running—and completely silent when it isn’t. Less energy used, less unnecessary wear, and a fountain that’s built to last.
Goodbye, Plastic. Hello, Stainless Steel.
Everlo is made with 304 stainless steel, so the surface wipes clean easily instead of holding onto that slick film — it’s called biofilm. And when it’s time for a deeper clean, just throw it in the dishwasher. Easy.

The details, in full
- 2.2L capacity — suits cats, small dogs and rabbits
- 304 stainless steel body — non-porous, so it wipes clean rather than holding the film that builds up inside plastic
- Water-level window down the side, so you can check without lifting the lid
Every filter is a triple-stage cartridge:
- High-density cotton — first pass, traps fine particles
- Activated carbon — reduces odor and taste impurities
- High-density cotton — second pass, polishes the water
A sponge pre-filter catches hair and debris before they reach the cartridge, which is what stops the pump clogging and burning out — the single most common way a fountain dies.
UV sterilization runs on the circulating water, so the water is treated continuously rather than only when you refill.
- The Everlo 2.2L stainless steel fountain
- Motion Sensor and UV Sterilizer built in. 5V USB Cable
1. The motion sensor saves energy
Everlo automatically turns on when your cat or pet comes near, and switches off 30 seconds after they leave. This helps save power and reduces unnecessary use of the pump and filter. Just make sure the motion sensor is connected between the fountain and the power source.
2. Plenty of water, less refilling
With a 2.2L capacity, Everlo holds plenty of water for your cat and other small pets — so you can spend less time refilling and more time enjoying them.
3. Keep the filter fresh
The filter helps catch impurities as the water circulates. For the best performance, we recommend replacing your filter about once a month. Be sure to use filters designed for your Everlo fountain.
4. A quick monthly clean goes a long way
To keep everything running smoothly, give the pump a quick clean once a month. If you notice the water flow slowing down, or the fountain stops working, cleaning the pump is a good first step.
5. Powering your Everlo
Everlo works with a 5V/1A USB power source, making it simple to plug in and get fresh, flowing water ready for your pet.

Questions cat parents ask
Some cats take to it in a day. Some never do — we can't promise which yours will be.
What helps: put it where the bowl already sits, leave the bowl out for the first few days so she can choose, and then leave it alone. Many cats are drawn to water that moves, and curiosity tends to do the rest.
If she's still ignoring it after a couple of weeks, that's what the 60 days are for.
Fair question, and we won't pretend every cat takes to every fountain.
The two things cats most often object to are noise and smell. A pump that whirrs gets avoided, and plastic holds a slick film — biofilm — that cats can smell long before you can see it. Everlo runs under 20dB and is 304 stainless steel, which is non-porous — so it wipes clean rather than holding that film.
If she still isn't interested, the 60-day guarantee is there for exactly that.
Give it three to seven days and don't rush it.
Keep the old bowl out so there's always a choice, put the fountain somewhere your cat already goes, and then leave it alone — moving it around resets her progress. Many cats approach on their own once it stops being new. If yours hasn't after a week, email us.
Under 20dB. For reference, a quiet library is around 30dB — this sits below that.
At that level it's unlikely to carry to the next room, and it's fine to leave running overnight in a bedroom. If a fountain ever gets loud, it's almost always a clogged pump rather than a fault.
It comes apart and rinses under the tap. Give it a proper clean when you change the filter each month.
Nothing needs soaking or scrubbing — that's the advantage of a non-porous surface.
Once a month. Rinse the pump at the same time — the two jobs go together, and a pump kept clean lasts far longer than one that isn't.
Each filter is a triple-stage cartridge: high-density cotton, then activated carbon, then high-density cotton again.
Yes. It holds 2.2 liters, which suits cats, small dogs and rabbits.
The motion sensor starts the water for any pet that walks up, so it doesn't matter who gets there first. In a multi-pet house you'll just be refilling more often — the water-level window on the side means you can check without lifting the lid.
The UV works on the water as it circulates inside the fountain — continuously, rather than only when you refill.
It's enclosed within the unit rather than exposed. If you want the exact specification for your model, email contact@everlo.us and we'll send it on.
Very little, and the motion sensor keeps it that way — it shuts the pump off 30 seconds after your pet walks away, so it isn't running around the clock.
That saves power and takes wear off the pump and filter.
