Drinkwell Foam Replacement Filters, 2 count

I use these for the seascape fountain that I recently purchased. I just ordered a second fountain, because I do think the cats are drinking more water. The instructions say to replace the foam filter every month ... but that's quite obviously for a single cat household. I have 4, one of which has no teeth, and chronic sinus issues, so she is basically leaving as much in the bowl as she is taking out. She deposits chunks of food and slime when she drinks, which is utterly disgusting. I dump all the water out and put fresh in every day, and that seems to be helping. The filter does it's job in keeping the chunks out of the motor, but it does have to be replaced every 4 or 5 days because it turns I use these for the seascape fountain that I recently purchased.

I'm hoping having a second fountain will kind of spread the usage out so the filters last a bit longer. Still, if you have a fountain that uses the 2 filter system, I would recommend using it, even if you have to change it more often than the user guide says. It will protect the motor from getting gunked up with food bits. … more

We have a fountain for our indoor cat and the water filters need changing about every three weeks. I am a stickler when it comes to repair parts - to buy only parts a made by the same maker as the original. They were exactly as the item that came with the fountain and I have used one and it works well. Very satisfied

You should just buy these automatically with your water fountain. The original fountain does not come with any replacement parts so just go ahead and add these now. Easy to put on. Just a necessity.

I purchased a fountain for my cats so they would always have cold clean water. I change both filters once a month, by which time this filter has gone from white to light brown in color. I completely disassemble the fountain for cleaning twice a week rinsing both filters and scrubbing the fountain.

These filter replacements were first quality & shipped out in good time. (It’s hit or miss finding them at a local store, so I am happy to have found a consistent source in Chewy.)

This item is necessary to insure your 360 water fountain runs properly. I tried to run the fountain with out this and it worked for two days. I have two smallish dogs and two cats. They all drink from the fountain. Without this product the fountain clogs up faster. Plus, it keeps the motor cleaner longer.

At first I wasn’t so sure. It got slimy quickly. Cleaning it isn’t fun for me anyway but my answer to slime is to take out all but about a half inch or less of the water each night. Wipe out bowl with paper towel and fill with filtered water from refrigerator. This may sound like a lot but takes less than 5 minutes is worth it because Kitty is drinking much more. This is important because of crystals. I usually clean entire fountain every 14 to 17 days. Sometimes the filter can be rinsed clean and used for another 14 days.

You will notice that these filters have a relatively strong smell from whatever synthetic material they are made of. It is recommended that you rinse them well before use, but I used a mild dish soap first, then rinsed them thoroughly afterwards. You can also use a 50/50 mix of distilled white vinegar and water to do the job as well. I let them air out for a week afterwards prior to use and I find the smell diminished with time. Although the manufacturer says it won’t harm the animal in any way, I felt better about letting them outgas prior to use since all the water you pet will consume will flow through it. You can run the fountain just fine without this large particle filter, but I notice You will notice that these filters have a relatively strong smell from whatever synthetic material they are made of.

It didn’t change the flow of the water at all, and I clean my fountain weekly and have never seen anything trapped in the filter. … more

I like to keep spare parts on hand to keep the fountain running & providing clean water for my kitty.

It was just what I needed, but now that I have them.the bowl part of the foundation got broke
