Our Story
"IT ALL STARTED WITH
DISGUST AND DISBELIEF
OVER A PET FOUNTAIN PUMP ...
Easy To Clean
No small, intricate pump parts. No tiny brushes. Take apart and put together in seconds. Stop guessing its clean.
Fresh Water ... Always.
Microbes hide and incubate in pumps. Bacteria grows in sharp corners. VASA eliminates these issues. Includes 3-part filtration.
Hydration for Health
VASA is designed for those pets most at risk of dehydration. It’s the fountain you’ll want when your vet says, ‘They need to drink more water.'
No Pump Problems
No pump to break or replace. No odd pump noises when the water runs low, in fact, VASA can be run empty without damage.
The World's Easiest To Clean Pet Fountain
My name is Darren Scott and I created the VASA Waterwheel Pet Fountain.
I spent years as a biomedical process engineer in pharmaceutical manufacturing ...
where sterility and cleanliness were the essential foundation for life-saving medicines.
This standard of uncompromising cleanliness came to hit home in an unexpected way ...
you see ... I was visiting my cousin’s house and saw a slime-covered pet fountain pump sitting in his sink.
My stomach turned. “If this were in our factory, we would be shut down instantly!”
Then came the gut punch:
My cousin’s cat had CKD — Chronic Kidney Disease.
I knew from my training that bacteria-laced water could invite infection and place extra strain on already failing kidneys ...
a hidden danger that could quietly shorten my cousin’s cat’s life.
Something had to be done!
I could not unsee that slimy pump.
I became obsessed.
Nights, weekends, even vacations turned into design sessions.
I filled my shop with sketches,
... 3D printers,
... electronic parts,
... and half-finished prototypes.
One design had an annoying dripping noise ...
the next a squeaking wheel ...
another a piercing vibrating hum from the motor ...
and the next would melt when sanitized in a dishwasher.
Each failure only fueled the next attempt.
7,468 attempts — until after 7 years of effort — VASA emerged!
Finally, a waterwheel pet fountain that can be easily sanitized to 99.999% germ-free.
The fountain that could have prolonged the life of my cousin's cat.

LONG LASTING MOTOR
Pumps rely on small motors which run at 10,000 Revolutions Per Minute to create suction, this high-speed burns motors out quickly. VASA features a strong, industrial grade "stepper" motor which turns at 6 Revolutions Per Minute. This slower speed helps VASA last longer.
DESIGNED FOR DIFFERENT
DRINKING PREFERENCES
3 DRINKING TYPES
In multi-cat households,
some cats like to lick,
some drink from a spout,
and some like a wide pool.
VASA has all 3
to appeal to different
purr-sonalities.
1.
NO DIRTY PUMP
A pump requires disassembly & assembly, special brushes and patience to thoroughly clean. The VASA water wheel has none of these issues.
2.
100% DISHWASHER SAFE FOUNTAIN
A pump can not be sanitized in a dishwasher. All of VASA’s water contact parts are 100% dishwasher safe and can be sanitized.
3.
WHEEL PREVENTS STAGNANT WATER
Microbes grow in water which is stagnant. The wheel creates a circulating water system which constant movement reduces stagnant spots where microbes grow.
4.
ROUNDED CORNERS HINDER GROWTH
Microbial growth often starts in squared off corners. VASA is designed with rounded corners to avoid these dead spots where microbial growth can start.
5.
PHARMACEUTICAL GRADE STAINLESS STEEL
Veterinarians know physical contact with plastic surfaces may cause feline chin acne. VASA’s pharmaceutical grade stainless steel drinking pan prevents feline chin acne.
6.
THREE-PART FILTRATION
Ion Exchange Resin reduces water hardness & contaminants. Coconut Charcoal removes impurities and odors. Non-woven, Inert Mesh removes food particles and hair.
7.
HIGH POLISH SURFACES PREVENTS GROWTH
Microbes can adhere and grow easier on rough surfaces. VASA’s water contact surfaces have a high microscopic polish to slow growth.
8.
FRESH WATER WHILE YOU ARE AWAY
VASA’S 3 liter reservoir and constant water movement prevents microbe buildup to keep a multi-cat household happy and safe for a 3 - 4 day getaway.

THE PROBLEM WITH PET FOUNTAIN PUMPS
Because pet fountain pumps are not properly sanitized, they continue to "re-infect" the water.
DIRTY WATER LEADS TO
- Nausea & Vomiting
- Diarrhea & Dehydration
- Waterborne Disease like Giardia
- Urinary Tract Infections
