NANZA Tl;dr
The YeaPaw Pet Water Fountain is a beautifully engineered, cordless, and pumpless water fountain designed to deliver clean, flowing water to your pets while eliminating the most common pain points found in traditional pet fountains. Unlike conventional designs that rely on submerged electric pumps (which are often noisy, difficult to clean, and prone to breakdowns), YeaPaw uses a magnetic-driven impeller located outside the water basin to quietly and efficiently circulate water. This eliminates direct contact between electronics and water, drastically reducing mold and bacteria buildup and enhancing long-term hygiene.
Powered by a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 30 days on a single charge, the fountain operates wirelessly and can be placed anywhere in your home without being tethered to an outlet. With a minimalist, sculptural form made from stainless steel and food-safe plastics, YeaPaw is also designed to complement modern home décor rather than stand out as a pet accessory.
Summary
Cordless, Rechargeable Design
Traditional pet water fountains require a constant connection to a wall outlet, often limiting where they can be used. YeaPaw’s rechargeable battery-powered system eliminates that restriction entirely. With up to 30 days of use on a single charge, you can place the fountain anywhere in your home—on a kitchen island, by a sunny window, near a pet’s bed, or even outdoors during warm weather. This is especially valuable for households where outlets aren’t conveniently located, or for pet parents who value clean, cable-free spaces.
Pumpless Magnetic Circulation
YeaPaw’s core innovation lies in its external magnetic impeller system, which uses magnetic force to spin a fan-like rotor beneath the basin—without ever submerging an electric pump in water. This not only prevents common issues like algae buildup, gunk formation, or mold on motor parts, but also drastically reduces noise and the need for deep cleaning.
Long-Lasting Battery
The built-in rechargeable battery allows the fountain to run autonomously for up to 30 days per full charge, depending on use mode. It charges via USB-C, the universal standard for modern devices—so no proprietary cables needed. This means fewer interruptions, less clutter, and the ability to maintain your pet’s hydration even during power outages or travel.
Intelligent Motion Sensor
YeaPaw includes a smart infrared motion sensor that detects when your pet is nearby (within ~1.5 meters) and automatically activates water flow. Once your pet walks away, the fountain shuts off after 15 seconds. This makes hydration feel interactive and fun for pets, while preserving battery life and reducing water movement when it’s not needed—minimizing noise, wear, and energy usage.
Triple-Layer Filtration
The filtration cartridge is made up of three distinct layers: cotton mesh to trap hair and debris, activated carbon to remove odors and impurities, and ion-exchange resin to soften water by reducing calcium and magnesium levels. This combination helps protect pets from contaminants that can contribute to urinary tract infections, kidney issues, or bad breath. The filter is easy to replace and securely housed in the base so pets can’t tamper with it.
Sleek, Minimalist Aesthetic
Many pet fountains are bulky, utilitarian, or visually disruptive—but YeaPaw was clearly designed with interior style in mind. The soft, round contours, ambient LED glow, and premium stainless-steel bowl offer a refined, high-end look that resembles home décor or kitchenware. Available in neutral colors like matte white and pebble gray, it blends into a home rather than standing out. It’s ideal for pet parents who value thoughtful design and want functional items that enhance rather than clash with their living space.
Whisper-Quiet Operation
Thanks to its external, magnet-driven circulation and low-vibration design, YeaPaw is virtually silent during use. You’ll only hear the soft sound of trickling water. This makes it a great fit for households where noise is a concern—such as homes with anxious cats, sleeping babies, or remote workers who want a distraction-free environment.
Easy Cleaning
Because no motor sits inside the water, the basin stays cleaner longer and is easier to wash. The stainless steel tray is removable, food-safe, and dishwasher-safe. There are no small, gunky crevices that require brushing or soaking. The device breaks down into a few intuitive parts for weekly rinsing, with replacement filters and impeller covers available. This reduces both the time and effort needed to maintain it—important for busy owners or those with multiple pets.

What We Love
1. Two Smart Modes
Sensor Mode: Flow activates only when your pet approaches—ideal for conserving power and reducing water disturbance.
Continuous Mode: When plugged in via USB-C, the fountain can run nonstop like a traditional fountain, creating a constant stream of water.

2. Trusted by Thousands
With over $350,000 raised from more than 2,700 backers, YeaPaw has already proven its appeal to the pet-loving community. It met its funding goal in under 20 minutes, demonstrating strong trust and excitement around the concept. The team behind the product is transparent and responsive, sharing frequent updates and engaging directly with customers on Reddit and Kickstarter.

What We Don't
1. Filter Accessibility
While YeaPaw’s triple-layer filter is effective, it’s a custom-sized proprietary cartridge, which means replacements must be purchased directly from the company. For long-term use, this raises a few concerns. If YeaPaw doesn’t establish a reliable filter replacement supply chain post-Kickstarter, users could face difficulty sourcing filters.

Is it Worth it?
The YeaPaw Pumpless Cordless Modern Pet Water Fountain is worth the purchase because it solves key problems pet owners face with traditional fountains—it's cordless, ultra-quiet, and easy to clean thanks to a unique external magnetic motor that eliminates slimy, submerged pumps. With up to 30 days of battery life, motion-sensor activation, and sleek, modern aesthetics, it fits seamlessly into any home while keeping pets engaged and hydrated. Its triple-layer filtration ensures clean, safe water, and the thoughtful design reduces both maintenance and noise. Backed by thousands of enthusiastic Kickstarter supporters, it’s a smart, stylish upgrade for any pet household.
