Smart Pet Water Fountain with UVC Sterilization for a US Brand

Background  

A US pet tech startup wanted a mid‑to‑high‑end smart pet water fountain with “4‑stage filtration + UVC LED instant sterilization”. The goal was to differentiate from ordinary fountains that only filter, targeting pet urinary health.

Challenges  

- 2.5L water tank; every drop must pass UVC irradiation during circulation.  

- UVC module fully submersible, but LEDs must not shine directly into pet eyes.  

- Low noise – silent pump and UVC driver.  

- FCC and UL certification.

Solution  

- Water path: Tank → pump → filter → quartz glass tube with LYD L804 UVC module (275nm, IP68) → water outlet.  

- Safety: UVC only active during circulation; auto‑cutoff when lid opens.  

- Noise reduction: Ceramic pump shaft + silicone mounts; UVC driver frequency above human hearing range.  

- Smart features: Water level monitoring, filter change reminder, UV self‑clean cycle (15 min every 6 hours).  

We provided the complete flow‑through sterilization solution and assisted with UL/FCC certification. From prototype to mass production: 5 months.

Results  

- Successful Kickstarter campaign raised over $300,000.  

- #1 New Release in “Pet Water Fountain” on Amazon in first month.  

- Client filed a utility patent (“Flow‑through UVC Sterilizing Pet Fountain”) jointly owned with LYD.
