No confirmed cat fountain meets a 10-liter reservoir minimum
No product in the documented catalogue meets a strict 10 L minimum reservoir. The largest confirmed operating-plan value is 9.5 L for PetSafe Healthy Pet Water Station Large, which uses a gravity-refilled stainless bowl rather than circulating water. If that is acceptable, set the minimum to 9.5 L; if battery operation matters more, 8 L is the documented Capsule Dog threshold with only a short outage reserve.
- Minimum confirmed reservoir capacity: 10 liters.
- Do not round 9.5 L up to a 10 L minimum.

No documented match for this combination
No documented operating plan reaches a 10 L minimum. The largest confirmed value is PetSafe Water Station Large at 2.5 U.S. gallons, rounded by its maker to 9.5 L, which is below 10 L. Lower the minimum to 9.5 L only if a gravity-fed still bowl is acceptable; for a powered fountain, 8 L is the documented Capsule Dog threshold, but its battery reserve is only a short outage bridge.
Why there is no result
No documented operating plan reaches 10 L. PetSafe Water Station Large is listed at 2.5 U.S. gallons and rounded to 9.5 L on the manufacturer's size chart, so it falls below the requested minimum. PETLIBRO Capsule Dog is 8 L, also below the threshold.
User-adjustable alternatives
If a gravity bowl is acceptable, lower the minimum to 9.5 L to consider Water Station Large. If you want a powered fountain, lower the minimum to 8 L to consider Capsule Dog, but treat its battery as an up-to-16-hour outage reserve, not a multi-day off-grid plan. These alternatives deliberately change the requirement; neither is presented as a 10 L match.
When to choose something else
- PetSafe Healthy Pet Water Station Large (2.5 gal): Its documented 2.5 US gallon reservoir is rounded to 9.5 L, below the required 10 L minimum.
- PETLIBRO Capsule Dog Fountain 2.1 gal: Its exact manual lists an 8 L reservoir, below the 10 L minimum.
Questions that change the choice
Can I count 2.5 gallons as 10 liters?
No. The exact PetSafe model is 2.5 U.S. gallons; the manufacturer's rounded chart says 9.5 liters. Do not round it up to meet a 10-liter minimum.
What is the largest confirmed gravity reservoir?
The PetSafe Water Station Large is documented at 2.5 U.S. gallons, rounded to 9.5 liters, and gravity-refills a still bowl.
Is the Capsule Dog a 10-liter fountain?
No. Its exact manual states a 2.1 U.S. gallon / 8-liter tank. Its battery reserve is a separate short outage feature.
