Questions & Answers

Can the pump be replaced rather than having to re-purchase this water fountain?
Answer by Chewy • Oct 25, 2017
Drinkwell does manufacture a replacement pump for the new model of the Drinkwell Original Fountain.
How do you clean the pump? It doesn't come apart but gunk is starting to buildup in it.
Answer by Chewy • Aug 13, 2017
To clean the pump you must first remove the motor from the fountain.Lift the impeller out of the motor. There may be a faceplate covering the impeller than can be pulled up with a coin or fingernail. Wash the impeller in soapy water .Pour soapy water inside the motor cavity and clean with a small round brush or anything that can reach all the way inside of the cavity.
Can I adjust the water flow rate?
Answer by Chewy • May 29, 2021
This fountain includes an adjustable flow control to increase or decrease flow of water. Please check the image for reference.
Does this unit have a slot on the backside of the bowl that will allow you to attach an additional 50 OZ reservoir tank? I have one from an older unit that got crushed.
Answer by Chewy • Jul 20, 2018
The additional Capacity Reservoir easily attaches to the back of the Drinkwell® Original Fountain to increase the fountain’s overall capacity and make refills easier. With the use of the 50 oz Reservoir, the fountain’s total capacity increases to 100 oz.

Gonna stick with Drinkwell

I just purchased 2 other types of drinking fountains and they just don’t work as well as this style and are more of a bother to clean. I now keep as spare Drinkwell, for when I put one in the dishwasher for very easy cleaning. I had my old drinkwell of this same style for 8 years with no problem but for some reason bought a different brand. It didn’t have the strong flow my cats need.

Noisy fountain

Design is pretty nice with water pouring over lickable ramp. Assembly and disassembly for cleaning are pretty easy and straightforward. The unit is small to easily place where I need it with access to an outlet. However, the flow of water can not be adjusted. The black lever does absolutely nothing except sometimes will affect the noise level somehow. It doesn't seem to be the cause since I can hold it and there is no difference in sound. Adjusting the flow is not a problem for us since my cat likes drinking from any faucet, but the racket puts off me and my cat. It rattles and vibrates even though I put a pad underneath. If I take everything apart and put it back together, it seems to be quieter, but then picks up the racket again. Plenty of water is in system.

Works really well but is loud

The fountain works great. It’s just loud. My cats haven’t used it yet, but this is one of three different fountains I have and it’s put it up a few days ago. It took them a while to get used to the first one I set up, but they drink from it fine now, so I’m sure they’ll get used to this. I bought this to ensure I had a fountain in every room for my kitties (bedroom, kitchen, and living room).

Water fountain for my cat

This is my third Drinkwell water fountain. Twelve years ago I purchased my first Drinkwell water fountain. My 2 cats really liked drinking from it, so I purchased a second one to put upstairs. My last cat passed away 10 months ago at the age of 17, and I decided it was time to retire the water fountains. I've just recently adopted another rescue cat, and decided it was time to buy a new water fountain. Since I had so much luck with the first 2 fountains I decided on another Drinkwell fountain. I found the newer versions easier to clean, so that is a plus. My new cat adjusted to drinking out of the fountain very quickly, and I know it is healthier for him to be getting water from the fountain that is moving and filtering all the time, verses water sitting in a bowl for 24 hours or more. My suggestion would be to buy a Drinkwell fountain if you are considering the purchase of a water fountain.

Pretty Nice Sound

I had a smaller Drinkwell that fell. This one is good for the price. It has a wide base. My cat likes to look at the 2-3 bubbles that form. And she enjoys drinking from it. I have it in the kitchen and it makes a soothing-water-trickling- fountain sound, ( not like the others that make that wah angry motor).

first time buyer

This is the first water fountain I've ever used. My new cats took to it pretty well, especially the one that was always trying to drink from any sink in the house. However the flow control handle doesn't seem to work at all. I would prefer if the flow was a little slower. Also it seems pretty noisy. I'm using spring water in it because the water here is dreadful, imo. It seems well made and looks to be easy to take care of.

Best water fountain

This is the 2nd time I have bought a Drinkwell. I bought one back in 2003. The motor in this one is so much better. My cats love it. My dog has now started sneaking in and drinking up all the water.

So far so good

Easiest assembly and best fountain. I tried two before this and they were not good at all

My cats love it!

We have four of these fountains and our cats love them! This one is a replacement for one we have had for over 10 years and it was still working but was beginning to look old. Cats love the moving water and tend to drink more water.

Wish all things were made this well!

We’ve had our Drinkwell fountain for about 4 years, and have never had any problem with it ‘till recently, when the pump gave out. Our kitties love drinking from it, so I’m sure they’re getting plenty of water. I’m online ordering a new one right now, because we were so happy with the first one. Be Kind :)
