About This Project

Petnimo 1 reimagines the cat water fountain by placing a sealed magnetic drive in a dry, detachable base so no electrical parts ever touch the water. The tank, tray, and spout are all 304 stainless steel and come apart in seconds for the dishwasher. A 4-layer filter handles hair, fine particles, heavy metals, and odors, while a 5,000 mAh battery provides up to 30 days of cordless operation. The fountain runs under 30 dB and can connect to the HomeSmart app for filter reminders and flow control, though it also works fully offline with physical mode switches.

Key Highlights

▸ Sealed magnetic drive keeps motor out of water—no slime, no scrubbing

 ▸ 304 stainless steel tank, tray, and spout; dishwasher-safe, parts apart in seconds

Risks & Challenges

Petnimo 1 is the result of nearly two years of prototyping. As with any hardware campaign, scaling from prototypes to mass production carries ordinary manufacturing risks. The team has started slow parts early and built margin into timelines. They commit to transparent updates if any delays occur.
