TIAKI Starfish Plastic Drinking Fountain

We’ve been using this fountain for about a year now. So, apart from the fact that the pumps don’t last very long and need to be replaced every 2-3 months, and apart from the fact that you can only buy the round replacement filter and not the pump filter (so I guess you’re never supposed to change that one? – or maybe the fountain isn’t meant for long-term use?), aside from these points, the fountain is actually good and quiet.

Bought one at first, worked well, very quiet, but within a few months the light stopped working. Zooplus sent a replacement, but that one stopped pumping water after a few months. I descale my fountains regularly and clean them every other day. As long as it works, it’s good and especially quiet, but the durability is a disaster. Now I’m stuck with a stock of filters that only fit Tiaki and have to buy a new one.

In just a few months, it broke—the motor works but no water comes out.

The fountain would be great if the pump wasn’t constantly broken. The cats drink well and really like it. But the pumps are usually broken after about 4 weeks.
