All the stuff i used here would cost under 5 $, includes the 2.5$ water-pump.

I've been looking FOREVER for a decent stainless steel fountain
Thank you so much for this incredible tutorial! Just paid over $50 dollars for a fountain. I’m returning it, and making yours!! Again, thank’s 👏💓
This is such a great idea, I bought a drinking fountain for my cat before and the pump started failing cause our water was too hard, so this is a cheap and easy way to make a cat fountain. Thankyou.
thank you so much for the link to the water pump. I want to make my own fountain and didnt know what type of pump to buy, and the ones i could find were overpriced compared to the 8$ it would take to get the same one you got.
Thanks for the tutorial! I bought a pump which died at 3 months. Now I’ll make my own and when the pump fails I will just get a new one, but not have to throw away the bowl itself. Also thanks for the voltage safety tip!
@TheBeardedCraftsmsn Fabulous, simple & perfect for most people to make. You are a natural born genius. 👏
Keep up your great work. You have a bright future ahead.👍

Great Ideal but why did you not add a filter to purify the water so the cats can drink?
How about adding a water filter and/or filtering cartridge?
maybe glue two little magnets to make the lid stay on instead or something
Glad I found this! Gonna make one of these asap! Congrats on 1000 thumbs ups on the video btw! It was at 999 n I couldn't resist. 👍
Only negative side effect is if the power goes out water is in the bottom of the pot, pump stops working.
Many thanks. Cats need running water as the may not see a water bowl. Also, cats are suspicious of still water, as it may be stagnant.🇬🇧👍
I'm an electrician, all wall outlets are rated at 120v enough to give an alarming shock, but not enough to kill a cat with any breaker your house has. Just saying cause the amazon description isn't always truthful and want to educate people on how this works.
Let me explain: i meant to a case where a cat is chewing the cable or the cable get's exposed and the cat touch it. a usb cable is only capable of 5v, because the re-voltage is being made at the outlet adapter from 220V to USB (5V). a pump which goes directly to the water pump with no lowering the voltage that's the thing that makes me worry.
Thank you for this video! So very helpful!!
That was actually good
Been looking at these for a while but very expensive googled diy first vid I watched ordered the 2 bits I didn't have pump and tubing under £10 can't wait to get the parts and try this out ingenious
Good idea. Thank you.
Wow great... I would like to have such a fountain for my cat I live in India Mumbai but it's not possible for me to make it I wish I could... 😢...coz can't afford those readymade ones and even i was wondering why they are made of plastic material...
mostly because plastic is very easy to manipulate & design on big industries - that doesn't makes it safe though!

The pot to look cute, needed some Spray Paint.
Cooking pan from Brazil! =D
Cheers mate
Does the plastic tube not have the same issues you mentioned that the plastic drinking fountains would have?
Well it is, but i guss there's not cheap way to create this setup with 100% stainless steel pump & tubings.
I’m sure you can find stainless steel tube and use it for your project with the taping method he used
Why don't use stainless straw ?
I would love to do this. Can you just drill holes for the water release slots - maybe a series of small holes side by side, as I don't think we have that kind of grinder....
yes, i guess there are many ways to achieve the same :)
I was wondering what was going on with the grinder too! Lol. It's for the pump water to return to the bowl underneath I think.
I love your video! Thank you for sharing! :)
Using stainless steel due to bacterial concern is good. But isnt the pump plastic?
i'm not aware to any other pump which is not based on plastic or polymer material... see this as a hint for the most greatest inventions!
can you post link to that water pump, please?
thanks for reminding, I've just added the link into the description. basically, i looked for USB interface with low water flow around 50 Gallons per hour
Very good video my friend !!
I am worried about the chemicals leeching off into the water from misc glues and tape? Any thoughts ?
you can skip the tape part and let gravity do her thing, with that said - if you have a clumbsy cat, i would recommend to tape it anyway - it should not touch the water at all anyways
Cool informative video thanks! Yeah I heard that aluminium fountains were better. but they're so expensive online!
This hack is just awesome.😃😃😃
If you really want clean water for your pet that will never have bacteria or hard water build-up, just put distilled water in it. Stays pure and stays clean. I keep water from tap in a dispenser and distilled water in another one--she always chooses the distilled. She will be age 20 this year no health problems! Distilled water keeps kidney problems away too since the hard water rock substance doesn't lodge inside the kidneys.
respectfully, for anyone who sees this in the future: please do NOT give your cats distilled water! distilled water is acidic whereas a cat’s body is alkaline and giving them this increases risk of urinary infections and related conditions. and because the water doesn't have electrolytes and minerals like potassium, the water will essentially leach these minerals from the cat to stay at a state of parity causing sodium and potassium deficiency, which for the record can occur in humans the same way. we NEED electrolytes to have water flow correctly from place to place in our bodies and cats cannot easily get enough in their diet, it is supposed to come in their water already as it naturally does. i don't mean to sound like an internet vet but one person saying their cat is anecdotally fine doesn't mean yours will be. no senselessly sick cats.
@@hnktbt you wrote a great deal but didn't say what should be used instead of pure water
@@venusxcharlie just... water 😅 (depending on your area) you may know whether your tap water is safe or not, bottled, etc. just as long as it isn't distilled.
Hi! Thank you for this youtube video you made. I want to ask you something. Could you tell me, what is the Fontaine measures? I mean how deep is the bowl?
i will make this! thank you somuchh! u help a lot seriously💖🙏🏻🥺
Great!
Nice I will try this
While I agree with plastic allowing more germs to germinate. Stainless steel doesn't prevent germs. Slows sure, but doesn't prevent.
Is it possible to fit a water filter in this setup so the water is cleaned up and then recycled out by the pump?
guess that it's possible, but you'll need to find a proper filter in terms of dimensions and compatibility
I need specs on the water pump, please. I realize that you're overseas, but if possible can you either give us the specific information of the pump? Thank you so much.
Honestly, my 20 bucks 2,5 Volt water foutain from BPA free plastic is cheaper than that cooking pot XD plus it stays very clean since it has a filter.
I don't know if I would like to have a plastic straw and tape in/close to my water fountain + the fact that it's not easy to clean every few days.
yea id say do some modifications suck as putting screens on all the drain holes and making a cut for lid to easily slide onto the pot and be able to removed so dont have to take off tape or hot glue every cleaning becuase its more like ever few days you gonna have to clean it. wish i had the tools to do it.
Hello,just wanna ask a question,can i spray paint over the stainless steel? Also can i use a regular usb adapter?
dying still is more complicated than that from my experience. what makes life easier is an epoxy paint or any primer which can bond with steel. not sure that the regular paint spray will cover without a proper primer layer
Won't bacteria get on the plastic straw tho?
i notice most the fountains use a USB plug now in the pump? is that safe? i heard USB is dangeorus for humasn thugh and convientrly has JUST ENUGH to kill tho a human. so why they come with USBs? are peaople like bringing these things to hotels and tents without power or something? cats usaly not good campers.... cat gets out tent, byebye kitty.
How long can it be left running
does the water pump heat up the water?
i guess physically it is (and thank u my friend as i didn't thought about it myself), but it's not very noticeable either for me or the cat.
How would we install a filter in it if we wanted to?
Where would I put a filter?
How about if I don't have any tools how can I make a safe drinking fountain for my two cats?
Kalaxy u can use plastic bowl and top, and in order to make the hole just do it with a heated tip of a screwdriver
The Bearded Craftsman DIY are ceramic planters safe to use for a pet drinking bowl?
Kalaxy yes ;)
The Bearded Craftsman DIY it's confusing because i some research I've made people say it's toxic and meant just for planting and other websites say it's ok.....I guess it has lead in the clay? Idk lol
Kalaxy it depends on the tampering (the chemical event which blocks the ceramic from liquid like mineral oil used on wood
How to put filter inside?
usually those pumps got those little suction cups on the bottom...

Can you make a mod for it to run on batteries??
put 3 AA batteries in series it will give you around 4.5 which is enough voltage
but dont use alkaline because its a waste
I was looking for a solution and i think i'm just trying with a power bank
Cant see itt😭😭😭
Nurfa Azwar try opening your eyes mate !!! 😐😐😐😐
@@kezzachadda8175 I think Nurfa is referring to inside the pot that's been repurposed as a cat fountain.
