The Premier Pet Fountain is nice, Everything you need to get started is in the box and easy simple Instructions. You have different settings in the motior that allows you to adjust the flow. We did really good in the middle in settings and it didn't splash out or make any mess. The water stays clean longer and fresh I can't deny that at all. You can use for Multiple pets, I use it for my cats. At first they were not sure about it but after long stares and watching it they finally drink from it and now seem to really enjoy drinking from it. Helps your cats as there whiskers have room and don't bump the sides of the bowl so they can feel free and not hurt while trying to simply drink water. The fountain doesn't make much sound just a little sound as normal with a motior running.The quality of this Fountain is nice and holds up strong. Easy reading when you need to clean and add more water. Overall very happy with this Fountain.
