(USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?) Mr. Filby, the spoiled cat, likes to eat more than he likes to drink. And when he DOES drink, he usually sits and hangs out at the kitchen faucet, waiting for me to open a slow trickle for him. He's irritating that way. But the Drinkwell unit, and the six-chambered carbon filters, have taken the burden off of me, allowing me to watch my soaps and my court TV shows in relative peace, without having to get up and turn the water on and off twenty times in an hour. The Drinkwell unit itself re-creates the running faucet sound that attracts Filby, and the filters keep his water fresher. They don't do much to filter hard water into soft water, though, so I would recommend using softened water only; otherwise, the lime and scale will build up fairly readily on the unit surface (I disassemble the unit occasionally, and soak it in a hot water/vinegar mixture to help disolve the deposits). Buying the multi-packs of these filters saves you time and shipping charges, so always go with the largest...

Drinkwell Fountain for cats/ Get Only Drinkwell Filters for Replacement, January 11, 2010

By 

gilly8 "gilly8" (Mars, the hotspot of the U.S.) - See all my reviews

For our two cats we have a Platinum Drinkwell Fountain. We also live in a VERY hard water area. There is nothing about the fountain or the filters that will "soften" the water, that is not what they're for. The idea is to get cats--descended from North African Desert animals---to drink more water. Its better for their kidneys; they'll likely live longer. ( A high percentage of older cats die from kidney failure, it is very common. Many veterenarians now are encouraging the use of some canned or "wet" cat food in a cat's diet to provide more moisture, since most cats aren't big on drinking....thats in part what all this is about.)

As other posters have commented, my former cats always wanted the tap water on a "thin" drip or flow of water. It had to be "just so"...not too much, not too little...but they preferred drinking that water over their water in bowls, no matter how often the bowls were changed/cleaned. (Yes, I tried glass, ceramic, stainless steel, every... Read more

They do the job!, March 6, 2009

By 

Ima Consumer (USA) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)

When I originally bought the cat fountain, I did not buy any extra filters with it. I just kept on rinsing out the old filter. I did this for so long that the filter totally stopped working. No water would flow through it at all. Finally, after way too long, I broke down and ordered these replacement filters. They look exactly like the original ones, and the price was great. One suggestion; however, before you use these filters, they ask that you rinse them out first. This will eliminate any fine carbon dust particles from entering the cat's water.

Drinkwell Platinum Pet Fountain

The Drinkwell Platinum Pet Fountain has received mixed reviews everywhere I've seen them. I presently have a love-hate relationship with mine, and have to give it a mixed review also.

Why? Because I have two of them. The older one works almost silently, almost flawlessly. The newer one has had problems almost from the first. Could it be a QC issue?

Your experience with the Drinkwell Platinum may be entirely different. If so, or even if you concur, you have the opportunity to post your rate and review of this product, in the form provided directly below my review.

Drinkwell Original Pet Fountain

Although cats are descended from desert creatures, they do have a need for water, especially cats that eat only dry food, and older cats who may be prone to kidney failure. It is important to keep a source of clean, fresh water available at all times for thirsty cats. The development of automatic pet fountains has made that easier for busy companions of cats.

Many cats like to "play" with water, and enjoy drinking running water from a sink or tub faucet. This seems to be a natural instinct, as moving water is aerated, and "fresher" than water allowed to sit in a bowl. Running water also seems to stay cooler than standing water, making it more appealing to cats.

Of course, allowing the kitchen faucet to run continuously for kitty's pleasure, or running back and forth into the kitchen to turn on the faucet at her whim, can be annoying to even the most loving slave to cats. Many caregivers also have a problem with counter-surfing cats. It was out of this sort of frustration that the Drinkwell Pet Fountain was born. The first prototype was designed by a veterinarian, Dr. M. Burns, to accomodate her cat, Munchkin's quest for running water.

Today's Drinkwell Pet Fountain has undergone some changes since then, including an increased base capacity, a flow adjustment lever, and an optional supplementary reservoir which doubles the capacity, providing enough water for several days (about 100 oz.).

The test product we received was the "deluxe" version, including the extra reservoir. Setting up the fountain seemed to be intuitive, until I found the flow adjustment lever kept falling off.

However, after reading the instructions again (mea culpa), I found the "trick," and the fountain was set up and ready for action in short order. Although the Drinkwell Pet Fountain has a charcoal filter, because of a "suspect" water supply in our area, I prefer to use bottled drinking water in our cats' pet fountains (we now have two).
I had heard comments from users of an older Drinkwell model, that the "noise" of the splashing water frightened some cats. I found no particular noise, and our test cats, Jaspurr, Joey, and Bubba, were attracted, if anything, by the soft splashing sound. As soon as I turned the fountain on, Joey ran up to investigate, followed quickly by Jaspurr. For "scairdy cats," the flow adjustment lever can be set for a very low flow of water, which allows the water to splash higher on the ramp and not directly into the water below, thus softening any splashing noise.

The Drinkwell Pet Fountain, like any other appliance, is not intended for "set-up-and-forget" use. A certain amount of maintenance is necessary, such as cleaning and refilling before empty. My husband learned that lesson while I was out of town for a couple of days.

He was awakened by a "terrible noise," and upon investigation, found that it was coming from the Drinkwell, so he unplugged it. A cleaning and refilling took care of the problem, and now all of the humans in the house are aware of the necessary basic maintenance.For doing exactly what it is advertised to do, I would give the Drinkwell Pet Fountain a 5-star rating. It provides an excellent source of fresh, pure water for my water-loving kitties, and when I float a few small pieces of ice in the bowl, it becomes simply irrestible.

Having said that, because of personal experience with the difficulty in cleaning both the bowl and the pump unit, along with numerous complains from my readers about defective pumps in newer models, I must downgrade my rating to 3.5 stars. 

Will I continue to buy and use the Drinkwell Fountain? Probably, until a better one comes along.

It should also be noted that later models of Drinkwell come with larger reservoirs, in "designer colors," and one model holds an insert for growing "cat grass" in the edge of the drinking bowl. I've tried that one, and the cats love it.
