You descale your kettle. Nobody told you to descale the fountain.

In much of Canada, from Southern Ontario to the Prairies, tap water is hard. Leave it sitting for days and it leaves a white crust. In a kettle you notice it. In a plastic cat fountain you don't.

Plastic scratches every time you scrub it, and limescale and that pink-orange film (a common bacterium called Serratia marcescens) settle into the scratches where a sponge can't reach.

Your cat notices, even when you don't.

Cats have a far sharper sense of smell than we do. Water that smells off gets sniffed and skipped. Most cats already don't drink enough, and vets regularly tell owners to keep water fresh and appealing for exactly that reason.
