How the self-cleaning and filters work
Water flows through the foam pre-filter, the filter element and the hair catcher. Every so often the fountain purges the drinking dish, pushing floating fur and debris into the hair catcher. Hold the power button for 3–5 seconds to run a 30-second purge yourself.

Fresh water without the fuss
Four reasons pet owners switch to the Nugget.
Cleans its own bowl
An automatic purge sweeps floating fur and debris into the hair catcher, so you are not fishing it out every morning.
Refill without the mess
The drinking dish and pump lift out and stand upright, so refilling never means a puddle on the floor.
Fresh, filtered water
A foam pre-filter, filter element and hair catcher work together to keep water clean and inviting.
Made to blend in
A soft ribbed design that looks like home decor, not pet gear. Quiet enough for the bedroom.
