Pet water fountain unpacked, assembled, filled and running. I set it up in the right spot, test the pump, and show you how to maintain it - fresh circulating water that encourages your pets to drink more.
### Your Pet Needs Water (But Hates That Boring Bowl)
Cats especially are rubbish at drinking enough water. **Pet fountains fix this** - the movement attracts them, the filter keeps it fresh, and they end up drinking way more. Better hydration, healthier kidneys, happier vet bills.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Cats instinctively prefer running water (stagnant water = dodgy in the wild). A fountain taps into that instinct.

### Why Get Someone Else to Set Up a Water Fountain?
Fair question. Here's the thing:
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Done Wrong | |--------------|---------------| | Pump running smoothly, no weird noises | Pump rattling or vibrating | | All filters fitted correctly | Water not filtering properly | | Positioned where pets will use it | In a spot they ignore | | Cables safe, tray underneath | Trip hazards, water on floor |
Half the fountains I set up, the owner's tried once, given up because it was noisy or leaked, and shoved it in a cupboard. **I know the tricks** to make them run quietly and work properly.

Good to Know
> 🐱 **Multi-pet household?** Get a fountain with higher capacity - refilling constantly defeats the purpose. I can advise on sizing if you're still shopping. **Noisy fountain driving you mad?** Often fixable - pump position or water level. If you've already got a problematic one, I can troubleshoot it. **Older house with few sockets?** I'll help you find a safe spot that works electrically without cables trailing across rooms - important with pets around. **Hard water area?** (Exeter definitely is) - you'll need to descale the pump every month or so. I'll show you the quick method when I set it up.
Frequently Asked Questions about Pet water fountain setup in Honiton
What actually is a pet water fountain?
It's an automatic bowl that circulates and filters water continuously. Cats especially love running water, so they drink more - better for their kidneys. The filter keeps it fresher longer than a static bowl.
Do you supply the fountain or do I need to buy it?
You buy the fountain (Amazon's full of them), I set it up. Most people already have one in the box looking intimidating. I'll unpack it, assemble it, fill it, test the pump, and show you how to maintain it.
Where's the best place to put a pet fountain?
Away from food bowls (pets prefer it), on a mat or tray to catch splashes, near a plug socket but not where someone will trip over the cable. I'll help you find the right spot that works for you and your pet.
How long does setup take?
Half hour to 45 minutes usually. That's unpacking, assembling, positioning, filling, testing the pump, checking for leaks, and showing you the maintenance routine. Quick job.
What if my cat ignores the fountain after you set it up?
Some cats take a few days to try it - leave their old bowl available too at first. The sound of running water usually wins them over. Position matters too - I'll suggest a couple of spots if the first one doesn't work.
