This has been a great hit in my household. I have three cats and two large dogs who like to have a community water bowl. I can put out four bowls, but they will all use just one. Due to this I had issues with the water becoming dirty or they could not see when there was water in the bottom of the bowl. My elderly cat has significantly improved his water intake due to being able to hear the water flowing and knowing where it is. This is a great solution to providing your animals with clean drinking water no matter how many animals use it. We love it!
