Pros and cons

βœ“ Pros

  • The cheapest way into a real filtered fountain, and the best-selling one in this roundup
  • Stainless steel lid over antibacterial PP, a step up from all-plastic bowls at this price
  • LED level window means you can see it needs a refill without opening it
  • Quick-release parts and top-shelf dishwasher safe, so cleaning is genuinely quick

βœ— Cons

  • 2.5L is modest for a multi-cat home, so expect to refill more often than with a 3L+ bowl
  • Plastic body still needs diligent weekly cleaning to avoid the slime film steel resists
  • USB powered, so it needs an adapter and an outlet nearby

The Petsup Automatic Water Dispenser is the cheapest honest fountain here and the one most Filipino cat owners actually buy. 2.5L, a replaceable multi-stage filter, an LED water-level window, and a stainless steel lid over an antibacterial PP body, at around β‚±199 as of August 12, 2026. It holds a 5.0 rating from 819 raters with 4K+ sold, which is the most owner feedback behind any fountain in this roundup.

What do you actually give up at this price?

Less than you would expect, and the gap is specific. You give up the all-steel bowl of the Rojeco 3.2L, and you give up published noise figures. What survives is the part that matters most day to day: a real replaceable filter rated for hair, odor, and chlorine, and a body that comes apart properly for cleaning.

The stainless steel lid is a genuine step up from the all-plastic bowls that dominate this price bracket, since the lid is the surface a cat’s chin actually rests against while drinking.

Is it easy to keep clean?

This is where it earns the rating. The quick-release structure means it comes apart without a fight, and the parts are rated for the top shelf of a dishwasher. That matters more on a plastic fountain than a steel one, because plastic is the material that punishes a skipped week. If you are the sort of owner who will genuinely rinse it weekly, this is enough fountain. If you know you will not, spend up for steel.

The LED level window is a small feature that changes the routine: you can see it needs water from across the kitchen instead of opening it to check.

Is it worth the price?

At around β‚±199 as of August 12, 2026, this is close to the cost of a couple of bags of treats, and it does the core job of a fountain: moving, filtered water that encourages a cat to drink more. Cats are chronically under-hydrated, and urinary problems are expensive, so the cheapest fountain that gets used every day beats the best one you never buy. Filters are the ongoing cost, as with every fountain here.

Who should buy it

Buy this if you have one or two cats, you want to find out whether a fountain changes your cat’s drinking habits, and you would rather not spend heavily to answer that question. It is our Best Budget pick in the best pet water fountains in the Philippines roundup. If you are weighing plastic against steel before committing, read our pet water fountain buying guide first.

Alternatives to consider

If your cat has had chin acne, step up to the Rojeco 2L stainless steel fountain, which swaps the plastic bowl for 304 steel at a similar capacity. If you want the largest bowl and the quietest pump instead, the Rojeco 3.2L stainless steel fountain is our Best Overall pick.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a β‚±199 pet fountain actually safe for my cat?

This one is built from antibacterial PP plastic with a stainless steel lid, and the parts come apart for cleaning in the top shelf of a dishwasher. The materials are fine. What a cheap fountain asks of you is discipline: plastic needs a genuine weekly clean, because a neglected plastic bowl grows the biofilm linked to feline chin acne.

What does the multi-stage filter actually remove?

Petsup rates the replaceable filter for hair, odor, and chlorine. That is the standard job for a pet fountain filter. It is not a water purifier and does not replace using drinkable tap water in the first place.

How often does 2.5L need refilling?

For one cat, roughly every three to four days before the water wants changing anyway. For two or more cats, expect to top it up every other day. If you have three cats or travel often, a 3L+ fountain is a better fit.

Does it need to be plugged in all the time?

Yes. It runs off a USB cable, so it needs an adapter and an outlet within reach of wherever you put the bowl. There is no battery option on this model.
