A stainless fountain that helps keep hair out of the pump

$179/year Annual Care: the fountain and a year of filters in your first box. Renews yearly until you cancel. Cancel online anytime.

Hair and debris can clog a fountain pump and slow the flow. HydraFeline fits a foam ring around the pump intake to help catch them first, and Annual Care keeps you stocked with fresh rings. Here's how it works.

1 · Protecting the pump

Two filters help keep hair away from the pump

Foam ring: fits around the pump intake to help catch hair and larger debris before they reach the pump. Fountain makers say hair and debris can clog a pump and slow the flow.

Filter pad: a 76.5 × 42.5 mm pad sits in the filter holder and catches hair and debris as the water circulates.

Keep the pump running well: rinse the foam ring and clean the pump regularly, change the pad as directed (filter makers typically say every 2–4 weeks), and keep the water topped up so the pump never runs dry. Filters don't sterilize water or replace cleaning.

2 · Fresh filters

A fresh foam ring whenever you need one

Annual Care ships 48 foam rings and 48 filter pads with your fountain, so a clean ring is always on hand when the old one needs replacing. That's enough for a fresh pad every week. Filter makers typically suggest changing pads every 2–4 weeks, so you'll have plenty to spare.

There's nothing to reorder, and each yearly renewal ships a new supply of filters. Renewals don't include another fountain.

3 · The fountain

304 stainless steel, with a tray that lifts off

The drinking tray and water bowl are 304 (18/8) stainless steel, the grade most used for kitchen sinks and saucepans. It's smooth and easy to rinse. The pump, filter holder and small fittings are plastic.

The tray lifts off and is dishwasher-safe. Unplug the fountain and take out the pump and filters before you clean it.

The bowl holds 3.2 L (108 oz), so you refill less often, and a lit window shows the water level at a glance. Refresh the water every few days and clean the fountain regularly.

4 · Coverage

Replacement cover while you're a member

If your fountain develops a covered fault while you're an Annual Care member, email us. We'll troubleshoot it with you first, then send a replacement part or a replacement fountain (up to one fountain per 12 months).

A fountain bought on its own has a 30-day warranty. Damage from drops or misuse, running the pump dry, and normal wear of filters and foam rings aren't covered. Read the full terms.
