The Uah Pet Zero Wireless Cat Water Fountain is a winner, and this review says why.
When it comes to ease of putting together and cleaning, the Uah Pet Zero Wireless and Automatic Cat WaterFountain tops the list, making it a real winner.
It is the simplest water fountain that I have found. It took a few minutes to figure out where the water filter was placed, but after looking at their website (https://uahpet.com) it was easy to see it went at the front and the exterior water pump at the back.
As a writer and blogger, I am happy to try out products that might benefit my four cats, ranging from less than a year to a 15-year-old long-haired Ginger Tabby that could be part Maine Coon. So, when Uah asked me to review the water fountain, I jumped at the chance.
Keep in mind, water Fountains are a great way to get your cats to drink more water. It’s not something felines particularly like to do. The fountain guarantees they are getting fresh, clean water, and not water that is stagnant with dirt and germs.

I just love the fact that the cat water fountain does not have a chord limiting where the water fountain can be placed, and making it easy for felines to get entangled in the chord and tip the fountain over creating a huge mess.
Another really great point is the battery can be recharged using a USB port, making it easy to be sure there is always power to run the fountain, inside or outside. That makes placement very easy, whether up on the counter, on the floor near the food dish, in the bathroom, or outside on the deck.
The fact that the fountain only needs to be filled every 10 days is a real plus too, just another reason the Uah Wireless Cat Water Fountain is a winner. You don’t need to check the water level every day to be sure your cats have access to clean water.
Other Pros that make the Uah Wireless Cat Water Fountain a winner are:
Extra-large tank
- With the 2L (67.6 OZ) storage tank of ZERO automatic cat water fountain, you won’t have to.
Long-lasting battery
- There’s up to 120 days of battery life.
Rechargeable with USB
- As the fountain is rechargeable with USB, there’s no need to change the battery frequently.
Ensure your pets enjoy the cleanest water possible
This fountain contains KDF, quartz sand, coconut-activated charcoal, and ion exchange resin, so it’s perfect for cats and dogs that love to drink fresh-tasting water which helps keep them safe from urinary tract diseases.
Two water flow modes
- Your pet gets the best of both worlds: a source of water that is continuously flowing and free from outside contaminants.
MOTION-ACTIVATED MODE
- It can simultaneously run when your pet comes within a 2-meter distance in a 120-degree area.
Antibacteria and BPA-free
- Preventing dirt buildup to ensure your feline friend has safer drinking water.
My cats seem to love playing in the water, and they are not so keen on the smoothness of the water on the fountain. They like the bubbles coming up. However, the wide bowl does prevent whisker fatigue (where the kitty’s whiskers touch the side of the drinking fountain.
Cons:
- Changing the filter will be a breeze. That’s always one of the negatives of most cat water fountains.
- While the literature says the bowl won’t tip, that is correct. But kitties can still move the fountain so the water slops on the floor. Having laminate floors is a real negative.
- The fountain is not noisy, but it is not super quiet.
- One size does not fit all. Not all cats like the same water fountain. I’ve seen my cats drink from the fountain (see video), but they are intrigued by running water. The fountain is more like a placid pond.
- Don’t really see how the motion-activated flow mode works.
- TIMER MODE: It provides your pet with cool, fresh water automatically every 15 minutes. With multiple cats, this does not work well.
According to the FAQ’s on their website:
We recommend replacing the filter and filter sponge every 3-4 weeks depending on use. Replacement filters are available on our website in convenient packs of six.
For optimal usage, we recommend replacing the water every 4-7 days, though the fountain is designed to be safely used for up to 10 days at a time.
- The steps are simple:
- Step 1: Turn the power off.
- Step 2: Pull off the water pump, and remove the drinking water tray and filter compartment from the bucket.
- Step 3: Scrub all except the filter itself with soapy water and then rinse well with clean water. Gently remove any solid debris (hair, dust) from the surface of the filter.
- Step 4: Reassemble. We recommend you clean your water fountain once every 4～7 days, perhaps at the same time as you change the water.
Because the water pump is located external to the water bucket, the risk of leakage is greatly reduced.
The fountain is certified to be IP6X waterproof, which means it can easily withstand heavy rain or other heavy blasts of water. You can safely put it anywhere.
If the water level in the bucket runs low, the sound of water trickling may become louder, but in normal circumstances, the water fountain operates in near silence, and is almost undetectable, even in the middle of the night, so it is perfect for light-sleeping owners (and pets!)
The lights indicate the following:
- Indicator for charging status:
- The red light indicates running out of battery;
- Blinking blue indicates that charging is in progress;
- Solid blue light indicates a full charge.

Battery life varies by the number of cats, use frequency, and many other factors; actual results will vary.
100-120 days battery life is based on 20-30 times trigger.
60-80 days battery life is based on 30-50 times trigger.
30-45 days battery life is based on 70-100 times trigger.
We recommend replacing the filter and filter sponge every 3-4 weeks depending on use. Replacement filters are available on our website in convenient packs of six.
