Since our cats Murphy and Jerry are faucet drinkers, I designed a drinking fountain for them. There is also a Hose press valve to regulate the flow rate, as the pump has too much pressure and the tap should run very slowly.
Material:
4 x M3x16 screws stainless steel
1 x M5 nut stainless steel
1 x M5x25 screws stainless steel
Piece of hose outside10mm, inside: 8 mm aquarium Zoo trade
USB aquarium pump 5V
Since the screws are under water, they should be rust-free

He loves his Water tap
About 1.8 liters of water fit in
I clean the drinking fountain once a week, to clean the inside of the tap, I use pipe cleaning sticks or a cleaning brush
Update: 01/13/2022
I added 2 new files the case_bottom_wasserstand and case_bottom_wasserstand_status.
This shows the current water level in the tank.
Print the case_bottom_wasserstand_status with a transparent filament and glue it in.
I uploaded the file: case_top_to_pumpenverbindungen_top_8mm again, because it could be too big in diameter to case_top.
