Pet Water Fountain 304 Stainless Steel Cat Water Dispenser
Why does your cat ignore the water bowl?
If you've ever refilled a bowl in the morning and found it completely untouched by evening — you're not imagining it.
Many cats are naturally drawn to moving water. In the wild, still water signals stagnation, while flowing water feels fresher and safer. Your cat's preference for the tap over the bowl isn't stubbornness. It's instinct.
There's also the bowl itself. Even a bowl that looks clean can smell stale to a cat's sensitive nose. Hair settles on the surface. Food particles drift in. Plastic develops a faint odour even after rinsing.
The Sipstream was built around one simple idea: if the water is fresher and the fountain is genuinely easy to maintain, more cats will actually drink from it.
Not all cat fountains are equal — and most owners already know it.
If you've owned a cheap cat fountain before, this section is for you.
Plastic surfaces develop biofilm fast — especially in warm kitchens. What started as a hygiene upgrade becomes a container you dread touching.
Many pumps that start quiet become noisier as water levels drop, or as the motor ages. A fountain that hums at night is a fountain that gets unplugged.
Hidden tubes, awkward corners, non-removable pump housings. Cheap designs make a weekly clean feel like a maintenance job, so owners skip it.
Noisy, poorly designed fountains put cats off. Many owners spend money on a fountain only to watch their cat walk straight past it and head back to the tap.
Built different, by design
The Sipstream solves each of those problems — not just promises it.
Water that never sits still
Water sits in the stainless steel reservoir. A quiet submersible pump draws it through the intake and pushes it up through the flower-style outlet — flowing gently across the drinking surface before returning to recirculate.
The result is water that always feels fresher and more appealing. Especially for cats that already prefer the tap.
Cleaner than plastic — and your cat knows it
Plastic scratches over time. Those scratches trap bacteria and odour. Even clean plastic holds a faint smell that cats — with roughly 14 times more scent receptors than humans — notice immediately.
The Sipstream's water tray and drinking surface are stainless steel. Smooth, non-porous, easier to rinse clean. No biofilm buildup. No plastic smell.
Honest note: the pump unit uses a standard plastic housing, as all cat fountain pumps do. The contact surfaces your cat drinks from are fully stainless.
No lifting. No guessing.
The side window lets you see the water level instantly. When it drops below the marker, top it up. A pump running low can get noisier — and eventually run dry.
Replace filters every 2 weeks. Replacement packs available from SiplyCat.
Your cat isn't being picky. They're being a cat.
Two things drive how cats choose to drink — and most bowls get both wrong.
Whisker sensitivity. A cat's whiskers are packed with nerve endings. Deep, narrow bowls force those whiskers to press against the sides — causing enough discomfort that some cats avoid drinking altogether. The Sipstream's wide, shallow tray lets them drink freely, without any pressure on their whiskers.
The running water instinct. In the wild, moving water was safer to drink than stagnant sources. That hardwiring is still in your cat today — which is exactly why they ignore the bowl and chase the tap. The Sipstream's gentle constant flow mimics that instinct, so drinking feels natural and worth returning to.

A fountain you'll actually keep clean
Three steps. That's it.
The stainless steel components go straight in the dishwasher. The filter snaps out and a fresh one snaps in. There's no awkward scrubbing, no mystery tubes, nothing that makes you put it off.

|---|---|---|
| Top up water | Weekly | 1 min |
| Stainless — dishwasher | Weekly | 2 mins |
| Replace the filter | Every 2 weeks | 1 min |
Replacement filters are available directly from SiplyCat in packs of 5. Your Complete Care Kit includes 6 filters — that's 3 months covered from day one.

Questions we get asked a lot
Most will — but not always immediately. Cats that already drink from taps, prefer running water, or seem fussy around still bowls tend to take to the Sipstream within a few days.
Place it where your cat already goes for water, leave it switched off for a day or two, and let them investigate at their own pace. Cats come around faster when they feel in control of the introduction.
Yes — 23dB in normal operation with water topped up. Customers consistently keep it in bedrooms and living rooms. Honest note: if the water level drops low it can get louder — the side window makes it easy to stay on top of this.
Every 2 weeks. Your Complete Care Kit includes 6 filters — that's 3 months covered from the moment it arrives. Replacement filter packs are available directly from SiplyCat when you need more.
The water tray and drinking surface — the parts your cat contacts — are stainless steel. The pump unit uses a standard plastic housing, as is the case with all cat fountain pumps including premium brands. We're transparent about this because buyers deserve to know exactly what they're getting.
The stainless steel components are dishwasher safe — disassemble weekly and put them in. Swap the filter every 2 weeks and top up water weekly. That's genuinely all there is to it.
If your Sipstream arrives damaged or has a defect, email us within 30 days with a photo and we'll send a replacement or store credit — no return required.
If your cat doesn't take to it after a genuine 2-week try, contact us within 90 days and we'll issue store credit for the full purchase price. All purchases are protected by Australian Consumer Law.
Orders are processed within 1–2 business days and typically arrive within 5–10 business days anywhere in Australia. You'll get a tracking number by email once dispatched. Shipping is free on all orders.
Cleaner water. Less guilt.
One less thing to think about.
You're not looking for a miracle product. You're looking for something your cat will actually use — a fountain that stays clean, runs quietly, and gives you the confidence that fresh water is always there.
