Hey,
So I have a 17-ish pound Maine Coon who is ~ 1 year 3 months old.
I use Catit Water Fountain for his water. I have a problem with SLIME and Yellow-ish water… According to that instructions - the filter can last up to 1 month. LOL NO!
I have to change his water + filter TWICE weekly to avoid "yellow-ish" water… and even with twice weekly change, the water/fount = slimy. Once weekly changing = Slimy water/found + yellow-ish water.
Cleaning it… is a PAIN! I place the entire fountain my dishwasher and wash it twice (one washing still feels slimy). The motor is the worst!!! I have soaked it in vinegar, dish detergent soap… still slimy. So now I go through two soakings - first soaking, I use my retainer brite dissolvable tabs (tablets used to clean my retainers - the "trays" you use at night to keep your teeth straight), then soak it soapy detergent water.
What’s worse is – this Friday I’m getting a new Kitty!
I’m going crazy – there has to be a better solution to use. Better water fountain? Better cleaning ways?
ANY… and I mean ANY advice is appreciated!!!!
