Our verdict
Pick Dockstream 2 if one cat drinks from it or total intake is enough. Pick Dockstream RFID if you need to know which cat is drinking how much; it reads collar tags (two included).
The central trade-off
Per-cat data. RFID tags identify each cat; Dockstream 2 tracks the fountain as a whole.
Design. RFID adds a splash shield and a pump-free magnetic rotor.
Filters. Both take PETLIBRO Dockstream filters.
