Overview
A cordless, battery-powered cat water fountain from PETLIBRO's Dockstream 2 line, holding 3 liters (101 oz) with a stainless steel tray and app monitoring over 5GHz WiFi.
Because it runs on a lithium-ion battery rather than needing to sit near an outlet, it can go anywhere in the room, and an AC adapter is included for owners who would rather keep it plugged in. App monitoring specifically requires a 5GHz WiFi network.
- Cordless, lithium-ion battery (AC adapter included)
- 3 liter / 101 oz capacity
- App monitoring over 5GHz WiFi
- Stainless steel tray, multi-layer filter
Who it's for
Cat or dog owners who want a fountain placed away from an outlet and have a 5GHz-capable router for the app. Not a fit if your home network is 2.4GHz only.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Cordless battery operation with AC adapter backup
- 3 liter (101 oz) capacity
- Stainless steel tray
- App requires 5GHz WiFi specifically, not all routers
- Battery power adds a recharging and monitoring step
- Body is ABS plastic despite the steel tray
Performance notes
The lithium-ion battery powers the pump cordlessly, with the AC adapter available as a backup power option. A multi-layer filter and pump sponge handle filtration, and the stainless steel tray catches drips around the base.
