Apple Cider Vinegar and Water Fountain

Posted By Connie (Tarpon Springs, FL) on 07/12/2008

We use one of those pet drinking fountains for our two cats because they weren't drinking enough water from a plain dish. It's working really well and they like drinking from it. However, I would like to add ACV to the water. Problem is, the fountain has a charcoal filter in it. Will this remove the beneficial properties of the vinegar? Any help would be appreciated.

I have a fountain myself. If the charcoal filter is removed, you can place a white fleace product made for fish tank filters. It comes in a bag and looks like fine cotton. It does not effect the condition of the water, ph that sort of thing, but fitlers out small particles and debris. If you drink the same water you are putting in your cat fountain, it is good enough for your cat. But remember to change it often so that it does not become stagnant. Charcoal is used in fish tanks also. I know it does not effect the ph levels but I do not know about what effect it would have on removing the affectiveness of the acv.

Hi, the easiest thing would be to remove the filter and use bottled water in the fountain, instead.
