Has anyone tried the PetSafe Outlast fountain? The pumpless thing caught my attention

I’ve been looking at cat water fountains again because one of my cats has developed this weird little routine where she just sits next to the sink and waits. Not meowing. Not doing anything dramatic. Just sitting there like she’s expecting me to turn the faucet on for her. And if I don’t, she’ll look at me like I’m the one failing the assignment.

So naturally I started looking into fountains again.

One that keeps popping up is the PetSafe Outlast, mostly because it apparently doesn’t use a pump. That’s the part that made me pause for a second. Every fountain I’ve seen before has that little pump sitting in the water that eventually gets gross and needs cleaning.

This one supposedly uses some kind of spinning cone system to keep the water moving instead. The motor sits away from the water so you don’t end up with that whole “disassemble the tiny pump pieces and scrub mystery slime” situation every week.

In theory that sounds great.

It holds around 90 oz of water, which seems like a decent amount. I only have two cats so I’m guessing that would last a few days before needing a refill. Apparently there are different sizes too, but the 90 oz one seems to be the one most people get.

Another thing I noticed is people saying it’s pretty quiet, which I care about more than I thought I would. Some fountains have that constant low humming sound and I feel like that would slowly drive me insane if it’s sitting in the living room.

It’s also pretty simple overall. No app, no smart features, no battery to charge. Just plug it in and let it run.

I was also looking through this comparison while deciding and it helped a bit with what to look for across different fountains: https://technomeow.com/best-cat-water-fountains/

The only thing I’m slightly unsure about is the design. It’s pretty basic looking and made of plastic, which I know some people try to avoid with fountains.

But the no pump to clean idea is honestly really appealing.

So I’m curious if anyone here has actually used it for a while.

Did your cats take to it right away? And does the pumpless design actually make maintenance easier, or is it basically the same amount of cleaning as other fountains?

The PetSafe Outlast caught my attention because it uses a pumpless design instead of the usual submerged pump. That means less maintenance while still providing fresh, flowing water for your cats. If you're comparing cat fountains, this discussion is worth checking out.
