Elfin Fountain D1 Pro

I waited for ages for this to come out and so glad I did.
I have a large lab service dog. So clearly any help I can get is amazing. I also have two cats.
We go through A LOT of water!
I’ve had so many different pet water bowls and fountains over the years.
Replacing filters, clearing out pet hair, asking for help to pull apart propellers. Ugh. I finally just went back to the old fashioned stainless bowl.
This… is game changing.
I can’t stand the sound of running water. This one is quiet and optional functions. Steady on or timed.
I can’t lift a heavy bowl, fight with cords and then have the energy to tear apart motors and clean little pieces.
This is soooo easy. Lift it from the base, I release two really easy latches with just my thumbs and it lifts apart.
No tiny little corners or tiny little parts requiring tiny tools to clean it.
And the best part is less mobile hands and bodies can use it!
I don’t need to worry about having help, and should I lose more mobility or dexterity it’s still a breeze!
As a bonus I have installed a pot filler above the bowl to refill it between cleanings.
And my cat, who only used to drink from the shower, absolutely loves this dish too.
All three can drink to their hearts content and it holds so much I don’t have to constantly check it!
Truly, I love it.
I do wish I had been able to afford the cordless version but, on limited income I could not. However, still loving every bit of it.
The only thing I do wish is there were washable filters. I don’t care much about the carbon, just preventing the floaters.

All in all worth the wait, worth the money, worth its weight in gold.

Ok, they were a little worried at first, but after about an hour they got over it. :) Now they're drinking more, which means they're staying much better hydrated in this heat wave. It's so much easier to clean than the old gravity-fed waterer, making my chores a breeze. I have 2 dogs - 1 medium size, 1 large - so the tank needs refilling every 2-3 days and needs to be charged about once a week.

This fountain is a great value for the price.

使用して3週間くらいですがもうフィルター3つ目です。毎日洗ってるのですが、1個目は10日週間くらいでカビが生え、2つ目は1週間くらいでフィルターの片側がピンクになりました。フィルターの中身も偏ったりして意味あるのかなと思うことがあります。本体の仕様は良いのにフィルターが不満です。

I got the wireless Elfin Fountain. I have two large dogs and I kept finding the water bowl empty. Now that I have the Elfin there is plenty of water and on the hot summer days is a game changer. I did get the wireless version and recharge it every other day - I would have gone with the wired version otherwise. Still very happy.

以前はお水の入れ替えが頻繁で大変だったのですが、4ℓを２台使いしているので本当に楽になりました。
何と言ってもお手入れが楽で、綺麗なお水が好きな時に飲めるのは安心です。
お水を入れると並んでお水を飲んでいるのが可愛いです😍

Excellent water fountain for my rescue dogs. Quality components are easy to clean.

Works well. Easy to clean.

The dog loves it!! 😍 At first she was scared of it but in hours she started drinking from it. I noticed that she drinks very deeply when she uses it...I would say its a success!

I love that this fountain is so easy to clean. It’s quite easy to use and does not have a motor under water.

他の自動給水器を以前まで使用してましたが、猫が受け皿をひっくり返して遊んでしまうため、ロックのついたこちらを購入。水遊びさせないよう低い天井の棚に設置しましたが、いたずらせずに飲むようになりました。
洗いやすさは今までの自動給水器の中でもピカイチです。
ワイヤレスタイプだと、充電の時間が長く、充電切れを起こしてから満タンにするまで結構かかるので、サブバッテリーがあれば使い勝手も良いと思ってます。ターミナルの部分だけ別個で販売して欲しいです。

Big capacity is great

When we first got this fountain, it was loud due to the pump hitting against something. It was so annoying that I was going insane. There was no refund so I reached out to customer support to see if this was actually how loud it’s suppose to be or if it was defective. They were supportive and recommended to replace the pump. However we had the kit to replace the pump already so I wasn’t really expecting it to be fixed by that. However, they sent us a replacement base and that actually solved the problem. It is actually quiet and I don’t even noticed any sound. I’m glad that I can actually use it and didn’t just waste money on this. 10/10 customer support as well. Love the product now and thank you to the support team for being compassionate and supportive.

My pets love water fountains, but I hate how quickly the pumps get clogged and slimy/moldy. I also hate how cumbersome they are to disassemble and clean. This fountain is such a game changer! I can easily remove the water basin from the base without having to unplug anything, and I don't have to worry about getting any electrical parts wet since they are completely separate from the pieces that get cleaned. All the internal parts come apart easily and nothing is inaccessible. Those standard pumps were always a pain to try and clean, even when I completely disassembled them I never really felt like I got all the hair and gunk out. The design of the fountain also means that there are fewer places for hair to clog and reduce the water flow. I bought one for my inlaws' cats and am planning to buy a second one for our bedroom. So glad someone finally solved the water pump issue that has been a constant plague to all pet fountains!

Having tried many pet fountains from Pioneer to HomeKit and others in between, I thought the D1 Pro would be perfect for our 2-small dog household. So, I backed this fountain on Kickstarter. Larger tank, pumpless, ability to keep running if the power goes out. It looked perfect. Where this fountain fails is in the filter. Despite the larger tank, the D1 uses the same surface area filter as the smaller E1 series. The filter clogs and standing water sits in the white tray long before one uses a fraction of the water in the large tank. We have to change the filter *weekly* and dump so, so much water. The pump gets gross as does the tank. I feel like I'm cleaning this thing constantly, literally every other day. It has not made life simpler but more complex. And the flow rate never looked as robust as the promotional video, to which Elfin said it was normal. I just cleaned it for the last time today and it's being donated.

The D1 Pro Fountain is fabulous! Furry friends will love having fresh water available via several modes (smart, timer, and continuous). Pet parents will love having a choice of power mode (plug in or battery) giving them the flexibility to place the fountain wherever they choose. The fountain has a sleek modern design with a semi- transparent water well which makes it easy to see when it’s time to add water. The ease of cleaning, the whisper quiet mag drive technology, and the fact that there is no pump or other electrical components in the water well make this fountain one of the best and safest pet fountains available today.

My dogs ane cats like this fountain. It’s so easy to clean, and we don’t hear water trickling, which can be annoying.

We got the D1 for our cats, since there's three of them and it's scorching where we live. They stand on hind legs to use it like a human water fountain, which is adorable. They love having fresh running water all the time, and I love knowing they're hydrated. On my end, I appreciated the efficient packaging with little waste. Setup of the fountain was very easy and fast. I waited to write the review until after I had done a filter change and clean, and I think that process was also simple. No complaints. I'm most impressed by how quiet the fountain is. I'm autistic, so that was exceptionally important to me since I really struggle when there is continuous noise happening. Honestly, this fountain is so so much quieter than I thought possible. It makes less noise than my refrigerator, which I am SO grateful for. It's quiet enough that I don't even have to use the timed feature. I'm cool with it just filtering water continuously. Also, in an age where so many appliances use AI and WiFi even if it doesn't really need it, I super appreciate that this fountain can be run entirely analog.

Easy to use and keeps a full supply of fresh water available for our two dogs. Only need to refill the water every five days!

Love the large size, minimal parts and easy to clean. Easy to visualize amount of water in fountain. Very happy with multiple option on fountain flows.

We’ve had pets for over 2 decades, now. Both spouses are ADHD, and keeping up with mundane daily tasks is hard. These fountains are (quite litterally) life saviours. Easy to upkeep, same filters for everyone, no non-sense « pump ». Alleluia.

Only downside on the D1 : I wish it would spoil less water. The tank is super big, and there is still quite a bit of water in it when it reaches « low level ». Maybe have a funneling bottom design would help this. My two cents. ;)

I have two cats, and I was using the E1+ for over a year, but one of my cats is a very messy eater/drinker. I had to put the fountain inside a mat with elevated sides because she constantly sent water over the side, enough that the fountain was always sitting in a puddle of water inside the mat (without the mat, my floor would have been asolutely destroyed). When I saw the D1 Pro I hesitated because it's larger and made for dogs, but I also didn't want want to keep an electric water fountain sitting in a puddle 365 days a year, so I decided to give it a shot.
Due to the size and engineeering of this fountain, my messy drinker can no longer send water over the sides and I can maybe finally retire the mat.
My other cat is a little bothered with the size, but she has quickly learned to drink in it too (by standing with her front paws on the top). Thankfully it's sturdy.

Got my D1 Pro & was impressed with its quality & sturdiness.
It was a breeze to assemble & set up.
My dog (4 yr old Lab) however was not as impressed & infact won’t drink from it . We gave it a try for several weeks before deciding to put it away & resort back to the old stainless steel bowl at least till the warmer summer temperatures arrive , then will try again.
Is there any suggestion from anyone else who may have run into a similar situation?

Love that it has a continuous flow mode. Don’t love that it is the only metal option with continuous flow as it is a bit too big for cats.

I've used 3 different fountains and so far this one's the best. It's easy to clean and works well.

My dogs took to it quickly and are drinking a lot more water. Extremely easy to maintain. Highly recommend

The water fountain is great. I wish it was a little shorter for my little dog. The big dogs love it.
