Waterfall does have a water filter and water is changed out frequently to avoid bacteria buildup. The other watering devices I was using off of amazon kept having the pumps burn out and it was honestly a fire hazard.
Is the filter biological, mechanical, chemical, or all of those? Do you properly and thoroughly clean out the water fall multiple times a day? The risk isn't worth it! Use a dripper instead for constant water, and either hand mist and/or get an automatic mister for the normal waterings (at least two times a day, preferably around lights on and lights off, for a minimum of 2-5+ minutes long each time). Using a cool-mist humidifier during the coldest parts of the night (only when it's 65*F or lower) helps, too. If you get a cool-mist humidifier, replace the crinkly tubing with vinyl tubing or PVC pipe and thoroughly clean it and all tubes and any other accessories used a minimum of once a week. Bill Strand has a great hydration schedule! Here's the link for it: https://chameleonacademy.com/basics-hydration-for-chameleons/Now if you have a recommendation for something better or different or if you can advise why this one I have now wouldn't work, maybe it'd give me more reason to switch it out with whatever you may recommend, but I can't see bacteria buildup being an issue with regular cleaning. Both chameleons I've seen drink from them.
