NPET Replacement Pump for WF020/WF050/WF210/WF210Plus Cat Water Fountain

I bought this as a replacement when the pump died on my WF020 NPET water filter. It's shaped differently than the one that originally came with my water fountain; however, it works perfectly. It fits into the machine and the water flows through it perfectly.

i thought the original pump that came with the fountain had died, so i bought this one to replace it. i unboxed the new one and gave the original one one last go, and it worked. so i never got to use it. and the original one is still going. even after its been run dry a few rare times, even after its cleaning is delayed, it still goes. that really speaks to the quality of the pump. the replacement has been waiting in a drawer for two years now; i'm honestly a little let down i won't get to use the updated design for a while longer. but that's a silly problem to have.

I like the blue light on this pump motor. I was afraid my cat wouldn't come near it because it is pretty bright and I thought it might intimidate her, but she doesn't seem to mind it. It's really nice to see the strong water flow again. I didn't think about how weak the old one was, and then it died and I had to get a new one. This one is such a big improvement!

I needed a replacement motor for my fountain (NPET 3L WF020). I had the previous motor for 3 years and it lasted a long time. This works perfect. It came with the little rubber pipe conector that helps the pump conect to the tube. It is much quieter than the original motor and has a little led light. It is easy to open and clean. If you clean it eavery week the motors last a very long time. I would definately recommend this as a replacement, as it was worth not having to buy a whole new unit.

5/19/25 UPDATE - I don't like this pump. Needs to be cleaned every week. Flow was very strong to start but now is quite week. Of course I am 3-days past my return window - which means in just over a month, this pump is junk. I need to check original description to see about warranty.ORIGINAL REVIEW - Seems to work ok. This is not the specific pump for my Catix model of water fountain, but came much more quickly. It does not come with a plastic flex tube - glad I saved my old one. It is a tighter fit into that flex tube that motor that came with product. It was not working well, so I tried to clean it within the first week - and noticed the motor had slid down on the tube. I'm not sure if that decreased suction or what happened. But since I snugged it back into place, it seems to work ok. Less than 1 month of use as I am writing the review.

I’ve bought a handful of these now. My cat has one of the popular water fountains that’s clear plastic. I like the lighted pumps for two reasons: it’s a backup in case I’m not paying enough attention to the water level and it can remind me to refill it, and it acts as a night light for her food area.The pump comes apart very easily for cleaning and it is very convenient to clean inside the pump with small bottle brushes to get any film or gunk out. It snaps back together easily.It runs very quietly. The only time I hear it is when I have the fountain in my sink for cleaning and plug the pump in to help flush it out with soapy water and it’s a very soft hum. You don’t hear it at all during normal operation, in fact the water trickle is more noticeable than any pump noise.I do have a few complaints. The water level does have to get pretty low in order for the red light to come on at all; the pump is basically functioning intermittently by that point. So you still need to check the water level regularly. The other issue is that every one I’ve bought has eventually failed. One of them just wouldn’t even turn on anymore (light or pump) regardless of what USB block or outlet it was plugged into. The most recent one that failed had a functional light and was still pumping water but at a very low rate and I worried it would completely fail while I was at work and my cat wouldn’t have water. However I still bought the same kind to replace it because I think this is a good pump. I recommend it to anyone looking for a lighted pump.

Like other reviews said very powerful pump. I have a catit pixi fountain and it shot over the edge with the spout. But with it removed it works just fine. Great price and we'll see how long it lasts with proper care.Update: Last about 7 months before the pump stopped and the light was the only thing that worked.

The pet water fountain I bought on Amazon is no longer available and the pump recently stopped working, so I couldn’t find the exact replacement pump. But I figured another available pump could work if it was designed similarly. This pump worked perfectly: it lined up well with the fountain spout, the water flow was strong enough, and also has a water level sensor/light like the previous one. The last pump lasted two years, so hopefully this one works at least as long.

Shuts itself off when water level drops too low. Love it
