Baby & Pet / pet water fountain
PetSafe Outlast Pet Fountain (PWW00-17957)
D0 No Radio — No radio at all. It cannot phone home.
The unplug test
Nothing to unplug from a network — there isn't one. It plugs into a wall outlet or USB power for its circulation motor and water-level sensor, which shuts the pump off automatically when the reservoir runs low. It has no WiFi, no Bluetooth, no app, and nothing to lose if your internet goes down, because it was never connected to it.
Why this tier: The manufacturer's own product page describes a motor-driven, sensor-regulated fountain (HydroSpin technology, automatic low-water shutoff, LED indicators) powered by USB with no WiFi, Bluetooth, or app mentioned anywhere. No FCC grant was found for the product, and this is a meaningful absence because the same vendor (Radio Systems Corporation, PetSafe's parent) does file FCC grants for its radio-equipped products, such as its pet containment fence transmitters — establishing that the vendor files when a radio is present and did not file here.

Open questions
- Whether the motor/sensor board is separately replaceable if it fails was not confirmed from the product page — worth checking a teardown or the printed warranty terms.

Class A is primary (manual, FCC filing, teardown). Class B is corroborated community reporting. Class C is never sufficient alone.

No FCC grant found for the Outlast Pet Fountain. Sibling control: the same grantee, Radio Systems Corporation (PetSafe's parent), holds multiple FCC grants for its radio-equipped products, e.g. pet containment fence transmitters (KBS050210, KBS050229, KBS050232, 9-14 kHz), establishing the vendor files when a radio exists and did not file for this product. — accessed 2026-09-02
