It took a while, so be patient. We initially placed the fountain near their food bowls, and while it didn't deter them from eating (very little deters them from eating), it also didn't encourage them to drink. When I moved it to the bathroom counter and steadfastly refused to turn the sink faucet on, my boy gave in and started drinking from the fountain. I haven't actually seen my girl drink, but my husband has.
The noise level is really nothing at all, in fact, when the fountain was in the kitchen, the refrigerator motor was louder than the fountain motor! It's more noticeable in the bathroom, but nowhere near intolerable unless the water level is low. Then it really does produce some truly unique vibrations.
I've cleaned it couple of times now with no issues other than forgetting how to get the flow control back on. It's fairly intuitive, so a little fidgeting and we're back in business. The benefits of not being woken at 3:00am by a yowling, thirsty Siamese who wants the faucet turned on far outway any nuisance.

My cat loves running water. After tirelessly trying to keep her out of the bathroom sink, I went looking for a pet water feeder.
I originally purchased the Petmate Fountain because that is all that was available. It didn't have running water, but trickled water over a chute. It wasn't really easy to clean, but my cat seemed to like it.
I then saw this unit and thought it looked like a faucet. Upon installation, my cat LOVED it!!! She drank and drank from the running fountain. She also likes a lot of ice in her water, so when the ice swirls around the bubbles, it gives her much amusement and makes her want to drink more.
Cleaning is easy requiring only 15 minutes every two weeks. It is important to clean the pump as well as the bowl. I read where other readers commented that a filter would be a good idea to prevent debris from getting into the pump. I have found that cat hair especially gets stuck in the intake valve and very little makes its way to the pump. As far as noise goes, if you don't mind the sound of running water from a faucet you will love this unit. It took a few days to get used to the sound, but now I don't notice it.
I highly recommend this pet water feeder.

My kitties love it. I would recommend buying the resevoir though b/c you have to fill it a lot! I have 3 kitties too.

We've tried several other drink fountains and this is the one my cats prefer! Just add more water to the bowl to keep it going. I tried the catgrass add-on but my cats didn't get into it.

I thought this would be perfect for my cat since she loves when I fill up the sink and let her drink out of it. But my cat seemed weirded out by it. It was a little noisey so I think that scared her. She wouldn't drink out of it until I unplugged it. Unplugged there was no point having it because it was just a water bowl.
