This means the fact that the crystal litter is lighter than clay litter doesn’t affect the activation of the sensor underneath.
#AUTOMATIC CAT LITTER BOX CRYSTALS FULL#
If you pour crystal litter up to the full line there’s no problem with the activation, it works. As the silica is so lightweight it’s much easier to scoop it and in the case of the Litter-Robot rotation, the litter slides much easier. As a reference, a cup of clumping litter weighs an average of 280g. The crystal litter is much more lightweight in comparison to clumping litter. I did my research and I found out that other crystal litter brands are not so different, they create quite a bit of dust in the air. I don’t know if this is the case with this brand or if all crystal litters are the same. When I poured the crystal litter inside the Litter-Robot I noticed it created dust in the air, but not dust like the clumping litter that’s just annoying, I am talking dusty to the point I was coughing and I could breathe that dust expanded in the whole laundry room. What I noticed using crystal litter and the difference regarding the typical clumping clay cat litter: Dust level Soft On Paws crystal cat litter How the Litter-Robot works with Soft On Paws Micro Crystals vs clumping clay litter To my surprise, the crystal litter’s texture was not similar to sand (I was expecting something like that) but more like sea salt. So I chose the brand Soft On Paws Ultra Micro Crystals with a pink package. There were various options but I knew I had to pick a crystal litter that is fine so it can go through the Litter Robot’s screen. Brand Of Crystals I used: Soft On Paws Micro-Crystals
Silica is the short name for Silicon Dioxide. Silica is a natural mineral found in stone, sand, and soil. Crystal litter close up What are the crystals made of?Ĭrystal litter is made with super absorbent non-toxic silica gel microcrystals. Why? Well, crystal litter is very unique, it really keeps odors controlled, it’s lightweight and easy to scoop. Some cat owners have been using this type of litter with their traditional litter boxes since forever, and when they think about getting the Litter-Robot they don’t want to switch to clumping clay litter. The manufacturer states that as long as the crystal litter is fine enough to go through the screen it should work, so I decided to try it. However, I have received questions from my readers about how the crystal litter would work with this rotating system. I have been experimenting with numerous brands of clumping cat litters trying to achieve the best performance of this unit. Since I got the Litter-Robot in 2015 I have always used clumping clay litter since it’s the type of cat litter the manufacturer recommends. Why I decided to use crystals with the Litter-Robot
