My PetSafe® Drinkwell® ½, 1, or 2 Gallon Fountain is Noisy or Loud

Check that there is enough water in the bowl. If the water level is too low, the pump may struggle to draw water, creating noises. Never let the water level fall below 1 in. from the base of the bowl.

Ensure the fountain is placed on a flat, level surface.

Disassemble and thoroughly clean the pump inside and the pump parts. For detailed instructions, visit our article How to Take Apart My PetSafe® Drinkwell® Fountain Pump for Cleaning.

Place the fountain on a rubberized mat or something similar if the fountain is vibrating on the surface where it is placed.
