Drinkwell Foam Replacement Filters, 2 count

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.

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 have the Seascape & it is amazing. My cat loves it & it's easy to clean/maintain, but these need replaced every month so being limited to a 2 count box is absurd. Do these really not come in bulk like the 12 count carbon filters? Please offer more purchasing options otherwise off brands are a cheaper alternative.

Great fountain. My cat loves it. I think he drinks more. We put this upstairs and he has a regular bowl downstairs. He loves when I change the water. He wasn't real keen on the butterfly, so I took it off. These filters assure us that he is getting fresh water.

Exact Filter as was supplied with the fountain. Holds up very well. Washable for up to 3 months if you clean the filter weekly

I like the foam filters but I just wish you would sell more than just two per package

If you have a Drinkwell Fountain you need these little foam filters. With only one cat using the fountain it can go two months between cleanings. The filter is always full of hair and yellow (ick) means it works well.

This is one of the filters for the Pet Safe drinking fountain I bought for my pets. It lasts about a month.
