Adding a smart water fountain to your home might seem like a luxury—but when it comes to your cat’s health, it’s actually a smart necessity.
Cats, especially those fed mainly dry food, are prone to dehydration and related health problems like urinary tract issues. That’s why we designed the Fresco Ultra, a smart cat fountain that does far more than just dispense water—it filters, sterilizes, monitors, and keeps your cat hydrated in the safest and cleanest way possible.
Let’s explore why every modern cat parent should consider switching from bowls to a smart fountain.
Why Hydration Is Critical for Cats
Cats are notoriously bad at drinking enough water. If your cat eats mostly kibble (which contains only about 10% moisture), they may not be getting the hydration they need to support digestion, nutrient absorption, and urinary health.
A flowing water source like the Fresco Ultra encourages cats to drink more. Studies show that animals are naturally drawn to moving water, which they instinctively recognize as cleaner and safer than stagnant sources. This helps reduce the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, and bladder issues.
4-Stage Filtration for Clean, Fresh Water
The Fresco Ultra features a high-density filter system combining:
- PP Cotton – Traps hair, dust, and larger debris.
- Coconut Shell Activated Carbon – Removes odors and improves taste, encouraging more drinking.
- Ion Exchange Resin – Softens water and helps prevent the buildup of minerals that can lead to urinary stones.
- KDF Media – Reduces heavy metals and inhibits bacterial growth.
UV-C Sterilization: The Extra Layer of Safety
Still water can harbor bacteria that may cause issues like cystitis, urethritis, and ear infections. That’s why the Fresco Ultra integrates NSF-compliant UV-C sterilization—a safe, chemical-free method that destroys bacterial DNA and keeps the water clean.
UV-C light is commonly used in medical-grade sterilization and now brings that same powerful tech into your home, safely and silently.
Real-Time Water Quality Monitoring
Unlike basic fountains, the Fresco Ultra has built-in silvered TDS probes to measure Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)—an indicator of water purity.
- Low TDS = purer water
- High TDS = potential presence of contaminants
You can monitor TDS values in real-time through the app, ensuring your cat always drinks high-quality water.
While some TDS (like calcium and magnesium) isn’t always harmful, monitoring levels helps prevent long-term health risks—especially for sensitive cats.
Smarter Alerts & Remote Control
The Fresco Ultra connects to an intuitive app that:
- Notifies you when to replace the filter (based on usage)
- Lets you monitor TDS values and sterilization status
- Allows remote control of the fountain—whether you‘re at work or on vacation
No more guessing when to change filters or worrying about water quality while you’re away.
Final Thoughts: Tech That Truly Cares
The Fresco Ultra isn’t just another pet gadget—it’s a health investment for your fur baby. With smart features tailored to hydration, hygiene, and ease of use, it ensures your cat always has access to clean, fresh water.
In a world where we use tech to improve our own lives, why not do the same for our pets?
