Caryl Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 As Ira said. Some people get confused as I think you will find some fountains also have built-in filters but they appear to be very small and not much use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Many have a strainer or coarse sponge filter. But it's not meant for anything more than making sure it doesn't suck in sticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
