Drinkwell 360 Fountain Carbon Replacement Filters

Our cat actually enjoys drinking from her fountain, even though she was quite used to drinking still water. Very helpful to us when we go on a short overnight / 2 night stay out of town close by - we know that she has water and that we don't have to rely on a neighbor to feed her (we have an auto feeder as well). The filters do have to be replaced every 2 weeks - on one level this makes sense but I did not realize this and may not have invested in this product knowing this ahead of time. Easy to take a part to do so, but one wishes it would last closer to 3-4 weeks. Actually putting back together and taking a part is not hard and there are online tutorials that will walk you through this Our cat actually enjoys drinking from her fountain, even though she was quite used to drinking still water.

We noticed bubbles forming after a few days of rinsing and placing a new filter - either one has to rinse the filter very very thoroughly or just know you have to rinse out the bowl so that the sediment does not have an effect on your cat. Last tip, this size is best for a multi cat household (2 or more) for one cat it's a big luxury. However, I have a lovely cat and I'm happy to be her cat mom, so well worth it in my opinion. … more

This filter needs to be changed every two weeks and was becoming expensive buying in the store. I found a great price at Chewy and was able to order enough for a few months at a price less than the store for just three.

These are very good filters and seem to make the water system last longer between getting black algae/mildew in it. They do more than the white filters dothat go around the pump in the base. If you can only afford to replace one type of filter, these do more and trap more inside them than the white filters. I have 2 very large dogs who get their slobber in the bowl and it suds up. So I still have to rinse out the bowl completely twice a day and add new water, change out the filters once a week, break down the bowl once a week and soak it in a vinegar solution every 1-2 weeks or black algae comes back. Washing the parts in the dishwasher also helps keep the algae away and it gets rid of the vinegar These are very good filters and seem to make the water system last longer between getting black algae/mildew in it.

Maintaining the drink well fountain is still better than washing out multiple regular bowls several times a day to ensure they get fresh clean water. … more

These filters are helpful in keeping the water in the drinkwell fountains clear and fresh longer than it would be if the fountains were run without them. This is particularly useful in a multiple animal household and in warmer weather. The design of the fountain and the filter renders them easy to change when needed.

There are similar cartridges on the market not manufactured by Drinkwell available for purchase. They pale in comparison and don't do the job.Get the original and Chewy has the best price for same.

These filters are great. They are easy to change out and they do a great job of filtering out particles. I love how easy they slip in and out of the fountain. I also like the fact that you get so many filters that you don't have to keep ordering them all of the time. Job well done.

Love ordering from Chewy. They come in bulk and are quickly delivered.

My cats love the fountain. And these replacement filters are at a great price.

It catches the cat hair that fall into their water fountain and keeps the water clean for them.

That actually filters. I've had about 5 different models of fountains because I have several cats and 2 dogs. I've been dubious of how much the previous filters helped the water. The water in the 360 fountains is forced upwards through the filter, actually purifying the water, instead of just sitting in the water. I empty out whatever water is in the bowl in the morning and when it has a hard time flowing again, it's time for a new filter. It gets all built up with gunk and doodle-drool. I'm not sure that a filter lasts for even 2 weeks like the manual stated, so I've subtracted a star.
