Cat water fountains · Choose by your needs
For a scheduled flow pattern on battery, Catit PIXI UV-C #43761 and PETKIT EverSweet Max 2 UVC #P4116 both document interval operation, but not the same cadence: Catit runs 12 seconds every 15 minutes; the linked PETKIT guide gives a 25-second-per-hour battery baseline. PETKIT EverSweet Max Cordless #P4115 also documents a battery interval plan. Compare the schedule you want—not just the word 'timed.'

| Model | Exact model/plan | Battery interval | Other relevant distinction |
|---|---|---|---|
| Catit PIXI Stainless Steel UV-C Fountain 43761 | PIXI Stainless Steel UV-C #43761 | 12 seconds every 15 minutes | 5 L; supplied UVC; battery continuous flow not documented. |
| PETKIT EverSweet Max 2 UVC EverSweet Max 2 UVC P4116 | EverSweet Max 2 UVC P4116 | 25 seconds per hour in linked battery guide | 3 L and UVC pump; wired continuous is a separate plan. |
| PETKIT EverSweet Max Cordless EverSweet Max Cordless P4115 | EverSweet Max Cordless P4115 | 25 seconds per hour in linked battery guide | Coated stainless tray; separate wired continuous and interval modes. |
Choose it when: The #43761 manual identifies a scheduled interval plan that runs 12 seconds every 15 minutes while using the rechargeable battery.
The limit: Its up-to-45-day claim applies to timed mode, not a generalized guarantee. Continuous circulation needs a compatible adapter; the charging adapter is not in the package.
Choose it when: The exact P4116 guide documents its battery interval baseline as 25 seconds each hour, alongside a separate wired operating plan.
The limit: Current motion-sensor advertising does not spell out the same power/firmware terms in the linked guide, so do not treat it as a verified battery interval or sensor hybrid. Direct Wi-Fi is not established.
Choose it when: The P4115 guide documents a battery interval arrangement with 25 seconds of flow each hour; its current U.S. page identifies a nonstick-coated 304 stainless-steel tray.
The limit: The coated surface is not bare stainless and the current FAQ says components are not dishwasher-safe. No direct Wi-Fi or measured individual-cat intake is established.
The maker's intervals describe when a pump runs; they are not measurements of each cat's daily drinking. A longer pause or shorter burst does not establish better hydration or water freshness. Check the exact guide, battery charge, reservoir and cleaning directions for your chosen model.
The battery interval pool is narrower than the general interval-flow list. PIXI Smart #43751, for example, is included in the general interval answer but uses an outlet; it does not meet this cordless combination. If outlet power is available, compare the broader interval answer too.
No. The exact guide separates battery interval dispensing from the wired continuous/intermittent mode. Do not transfer a wired mode to the rechargeable plan.
No. P4115's exact source identifies a black nonstick-coated stainless tray; P4116 is assessed as a stainless tray without that coating. The matcher treats coated steel and steel as different surface needs.
No. Continue checking the water and following the maker's cleaning schedule; the timer does not report consumption or guarantee a time between refills.
