Choosing a System

Installed System (Wall Unit): Connects directly to your home’s water line using quick connect fittings, similar to a refrigerator hookup. Provides continuous, automatic cleaning and refilling.

Portable System (Bottle Pump): Connects your Always Full bowl to a standard water jug. Attach the Bottle Pump, and the system automatically draws water as needed with no plumbing required. Water jugs are available at most home improvement or grocery stores.

Always Full is designed to be safe and comfortable for pets of all breeds, sizes, and ages. The low, wide bowl shape and gentle, laser controlled refilling make it easy for any dog or cat to drink without splashing or feeling startled.

Size guide:
7 inch bowl: Best for cats and small dogs.

9 inch bowl: Ideal for medium and large dogs who need more room to drink comfortably.

Both sizes work for everything from tiny breeds like Chihuahuas and Yorkies to large dogs like Labradors and Great Danes.

7” Bowl: 7 inches in diameter × 4.5 inches tall × 10 inches deep.
9” Bowl: 9 inches in diameter × 5.5 inches tall × 12.5 inches deep.
Wall Unit: 4.7 inches tall with filter installed × 2.5 inches wide × 7.17 inches long.

Filters & Water Quality

Yes. Every bowl includes one Cotton Filter and one Cotton/Carbon Filter so you can choose the option that works best for your pet.

Bowl filters should be replaced every 2 to 3 months depending on usage and water quality. The Always Full app will notify you when it is time to replace them.

It depends on your setup and your pet’s needs.
Cotton Filters are ideal for everyday debris capture.
Carbon Filters offer finer purification and reduce odors for more sensitive pets.
Carbon Block Filters are used with the Installed System (Wall Unit) to clean the water coming directly from your home’s water line.

Yes. The Carbon Block Filter purifies incoming water in the Installed System, while the Cotton or Carbon Filter inside the bowl traps debris during each flush cycle.

Smart Features & Safety

Yes. Always Full uses a triple stage filtration system that keeps water clean, clear, and free of contaminants so your pet always has fresh, great tasting water. The bowl is made from food safe, BPA free, PVC free, and phthalate free plastic, crafted with FDA approved ABS, and includes a stainless steel debris basket for added hygiene. Whether you are using the Installed System with carbon block filtration or the Portable System with your preferred water source, every sip is safe for pets of all ages and sizes.

All lines and fittings are covered in braided stainless steel and chew-safe plastic components. No exposed wires or tubes, and no sharp edges.

The bowl uses a laser sensor to detect the water level and only refills when needed — no loud splashing or unpredictable noise that might startle smaller or more sensitive dogs.

The self flushing system pushes water through a filter basket inside the bowl, not down a drain. Filtered water stays in the bowl while debris such as hair, food, and dirt is trapped in the cotton or cotton and carbon filter.

Laser technology maintains water height within 1 mm accuracy, and the system has five layers of overfill protection. Overflowing is extremely unlikely.

No. The app is optional. Using it unlocks hydration tracking, remote alerts, flush customization, and extended warranty through the optional subscription.

Extended warranty: You get an extended warranty on all components when you subscribe, for the life of your subscription.

Modify “flush” schedule: The annual subscription allows you to customize the “flush” schedule: Flush only after filling, Flush every 20, 40, or 60 minutes, Sleep mode (do not flush between user-defined hours).

Cost: As of the time this FAQ was published, the annual subscription is only $30 per year.

Built in LED lights show real time system status. Green means normal operation, red indicates an error. The app provides notifications for water level, flush cycles, filter changes, and more.

Not like before. The system flushes itself every hour and uses triple filtration to prevent buildup and slime. For a deep clean, remove the bowl insert, use the included pry tool, and rinse the filters. It takes under five minutes.

Cotton or cotton and carbon bowl filters last about a month. The Installed System (Wall Unit)'s carbon block filter lasts up to four months or 100 gallons. Replacement packs are affordable and available on our site and select retailers.

Yes. Always Full is made with food safe, BPA free, PVC free, and phthalate free plastic, plus a stainless steel debris basket. The materials are durable, chew resistant, and safe for pets of all sizes.
