If Filby digs it, it's gotta be good!, December 12, 2009

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... Read more

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

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

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.
