ONECUTE SMA-800 Replacement Pump for Stainless Steel Cat Water Fountains, Side Pump, Ultra-Quiet, Low Voltage DC 5V

The ONECUTE SMA-800 is a cat water fountain replacement pump built as a side pump for stainless steel fountains. It measures 2.7 x 2.7 x 1.2 cm (1.1 x 1.1 x 0.5 in) and is made of white plastic. Compare the model number with the pump you are taking out before ordering.

Before buying, check the pump you are replacing

The SMA-800 is made for stainless steel cat water fountains from a range of makers, so the match that matters is the pump itself. The manufacturer asks buyers to check the original pump model before purchasing, and the model number on this unit is SMA-800.

The pump is a side pump and is intended for indoor use. A replacement fits where the old unit sat only if the original was the same model, so the old pump is the reference point rather than the fountain's brand alone.

How the SMA-800 fits into the fountain

• The pump produces a noise level below 20 dB, which is the figure the manufacturer gives for its running sound.
• A universal USB cable carries the power, so the same cable serves the pump wherever it is placed.
• The outer casing and the inner components can both be removed, which opens up the pump body for the cleaning routine.
• The pump is a side pump in white plastic, sized at 2.7 x 2.7 x 1.2 cm.

Several reviewers mention quiet operation and easy installation, and a few describe good water flow. Two reviewers note that it fits the existing bracket, while several others mention a short lifespan.

Running the pump from a USB power source

The pump runs on low voltage DC 5V and connects through its USB cable to a power socket, a computer or a power bank. Which of those three you use is a question of what is near the fountain, since the cable is the same in each case.

You will need a USB adapter you already own, because none ships in the box. The manufacturer recommends cleaning the water fountain pump every two weeks.

What customers say

Customers find the water pump easy to install and appreciate its ultra-quiet operation, with one noting they can't even hear it running. The product receives positive feedback for its quality and value for money, and customers report their pets enjoy using it. However, the pump's reliability and water flow receive mixed reviews - while some say it works great initially, others report it stops working, and while the flow is steady for some, others find it insufficient. Additionally, durability is a concern as many report it only lasts four months before failing.
