A real tap-style spout
Water arcs out of a curved steel spout and lands in the bowl, just like the tap your cat already loves.
- Curved spout — a stream to drink from
- Open bowl — for cats who prefer to lap
SenseFlow · stainless steel cat fountain
For the cat who'd rather drink from your tap.
SenseFlow is a stainless steel fountain with a real tap-style spout. Your cat walks up, the water starts running.
How it works: an infrared sensor notices your cat coming and starts the water, so there's a running tap waiting for them at floor level. No paws on the sink required.
- Runs when they arrive — an infrared sensor starts the water as your cat walks up
- 304 stainless steel — a food-grade steel bowl, not a plastic one
- 2.2 L bowl — with a window so you can see the level at a glance
- Quiet pump — rated under 25 dB by the manufacturer
- Easy to clean — the top lifts off and rinses under the tap

Sound familiar?
If your cat appears the second you turn on a tap, they're telling you something: they like their water moving. Here's what most of us try first.
The bathroom tap
Works every time. Until you have to leave the house.
A fresh bowl, twice a day
Lovely for an hour. Then it's just water sitting there.
A plastic fountain
Plastic scratches over time, and scratches are hard to get properly clean.
An always-on fountain
Runs around the clock, whether anyone is drinking or not.
A tap that turns itself on
Lots of cats love running water. That's why yours comes trotting in the moment a tap goes on.
SenseFlow puts that same running stream at floor level, in a bowl that belongs to them. An infrared sensor notices when your cat walks up and starts the flow. They can drink from the stream or from the bowl beneath it, whichever they like best.
Starts when they arrive
An infrared sensor picks up your cat and gets the water running.
Steel where they drink
The bowl is 304 food-grade stainless steel.
Quiet enough for the bedroom
The pump is rated under 25 dB by the manufacturer.
Three steps, then it's theirs
-
Fill it
Add water up to the MAX mark on the window. The bowl holds 2.2 L.
-
Plug it in
Connect the USB cable to any USB charger, like the one for your phone.
-
Let them find it
Set it near their usual bowl. When your cat wanders over, the sensor starts the water.
The little things cats notice
304 food-grade stainless steel
The bowl is made from 304 stainless, the grade widely used for cookware. It wipes clean and doesn't scratch up the way plastic does.
- 304 stainless — food-grade
- Steel bowl — not plastic
2.2 L, with a window
A window on the side shows the water level, with MAX and MIN marks. You'll know when to top up without lifting a thing.
- 2.2 L — fewer refills
- MAX / MIN marks — top up at a glance
- 17.9 cm wide — about 7 in
Quiet and low-voltage
The pump is rated under 25 dB by the manufacturer, and the fountain runs on 5V USB power.
- Under 25 dB — manufacturer rating
- 5V USB — works with any USB charger
Comes apart to clean
The top lifts off by hand, so you can rinse the steel parts under the kitchen tap and put it back together.
- Lifts apart — by hand
- Rinse and refill — done

Questions, answered
Will my cat actually use it?
Most cats are curious about running water, so there's a good chance. To make it easy for them, set SenseFlow next to their current bowl and leave the old bowl out for the first week. Let them investigate at their own pace.
Some cats take a few days to trust anything new. If yours still isn't interested after a couple of weeks, that's exactly what the guarantee is for.
How does the sensor work?
An infrared sensor on the fountain notices when your pet comes close and starts the water. There's nothing to press and no schedule to set. Your cat walks up, the tap turns on.
What's the Thirsty Pack?
It's the fountain plus a pack of six replacement filters, for $5 more than the fountain on its own. In your cart you'll see two lines, the fountain and the filter pack.
Is it loud?
The manufacturer rates the pump at under 25 dB. We haven't run our own lab test, so we're passing that on as their figure. And if it's louder than you'd like once it's in your home, the guarantee covers you.
How do I clean it?
Unplug it first. Lift the top off, rinse the steel parts under the tap, wipe out the bowl and refill. We'd do that every few days, and a little more often if several pets share it.
We haven't confirmed that it's dishwasher-safe, so please wash it by hand. And don't let the pump run dry.
How often should I change the filter?
It depends on your water and how many pets are drinking. Check the leaflet in the box for the maker's guidance, and as a rule of thumb, swap the filter when it looks discoloured or the flow slows down.
The Thirsty Pack adds six replacements, so you won't be hunting for the right ones later.
What's in the box?
The SenseFlow fountain, with a filter fitted. The Thirsty Pack adds a pack of six replacement filters.
How big is it?
17.9 cm (7 in) across. The bowl is 11.8 cm (4.6 in) tall and the spout rises another 8.2 cm (3.2 in) above it, so allow about 20 cm (7.9 in) of height. It holds 2.2 L.
Is it OK for dogs?
Yes, for small dogs. A big dog will empty a 2.2 L bowl quickly, so it isn't the right fountain for one.
How does it get power?
Over USB. It runs on low-voltage 5V power, so it plugs into any standard USB charger, like the one for your phone.
Treat it like any other plug: keep it dry, keep the cable away from pets that chew, and unplug before cleaning.
How long does delivery take?
Allow 5–10 business days from order to doorstep. That's 1–3 business days for us to process and hand it to the carrier, then 4–7 in transit. Shipping is free in the US, and we'll email you tracking as soon as it ships.
Will this help with kidney or urinary problems?
No, and we won't tell you otherwise. SenseFlow is a drinking fountain. It makes water more inviting. It is not a medical device, and it does not prevent or treat any condition.
If your cat has been diagnosed with something, or has suddenly stopped drinking or started drinking far more than usual, please see your vet.
What if my cat never takes to it?
Email us inside 30 days of delivery and we'll sort it out. The returns conditions are in our refund policy, and they're worth a read before you order.
