Abstract
A recirculating pet fountain has a cover anchored in a basin by attachment to a pump mounted to the basin. The cover includes a spillway having opposite side edges slidably conforming to the inner surface of opposite adjacent sides of a basin sidewall helping locate the cover during assembly preventing side-to-side cover movement after assembly. The spillway rests on a bottom of the basin and has a bottom edge spaced from the bottom defining an intake leading to the pump. The cover can include a support spaced from the spillway configured to hold a filter with the support resting on the basin bottom. A cord anchor can be integrally formed in the basin sidewall to hold part of a pump power cord in a manner enabling the cover to rest thereon. Such a fountain assembly enables the cover to be anchored within the basin without interlockingly engaging the basin.
