Drinkwell Replacement Carbon Filters

I have 3 fountains in my house for my 2 cats and a dog. This is the best price i have found around for these types of filters. I have discovered they work best if you treat them like the brita filters and soak them in water for about 15 minutes before rinsing

Sometimes they work as they're supposed to and the pet fountain bubbles away cheerfully until it's time to clean it. But about half the time the filters clog up immediately and the water stops flowing. The Drinkwell people say to take the filter out and shake it to clear the obstruction, but that usually doesn't work. You can run the fountain without the filter, but that means much more frequent cleaning. So...maybe it's time to check out an entirely different fountain?

I deep cleaned my cats’ fountain is Sunday and put in the last spare filter, this is Tuesday and I just watched her try to drink from the toilet??! I dismantled the filter case to see why she didn’t like her fountain.....O.M.G!! This is not acceptable, what the heck is in these things? Buyer beware!

Our water is heavily chlorinated and taste terrible. These filters take care of that, and my cats love the moving water.

I love these filters. My cats drink more water from my Petsafe Drinkwell fountain. I keep a stainless steel water bowl for my older cat, but my other cats prefer the moving, fresh water from the fountain. These filters keep it fresh!

Carbon Filters work very well in my cat's Drinkwell fountain. Keep the water fresh, clear and clean. My cats love their fountain!

These came as part of my order in a nondescript brown cardboard box (see picture), as opposed to the Drinkwell foam filters I also ordered that came Drinkwell labeled packaging (see picture). When I went to replace the filter using a new one I received, I could tell it was smaller, and there were spacers on the flat side to make it fit in the housing. But this allows a gap where water can pass through the pump without going throng the filter. It would appear to me the ones I received are cheap imitation knock offs - not the Drinkwell brand that I paid for. The spacers are also clearly not present in the picture of this product. I contacted customer service, and they say they are sending These came as part of my order in a nondescript brown cardboard box (see picture), as opposed to the Drinkwell foam filters I also ordered that came Drinkwell labeled packaging (see picture).

I contacted customer service, and they say they are sending me the correct replacements. I hope I receive the right ones... But it begs to question, how did I get the wrong ones? And how many other people also received the wrong ones and don't even know! If you receive these and the flat side is not completely flat, but has spacers on them (see picture) and when installing in the pump housing you can see the gap from the top hole, you also have the wrong ones. … more

I had the fountain running for a month when black specks showed up in the water. I cleaned and replaced filters thinking it might have been a defect but then it happened again with some much worse add ons. The fountain itself had a black ring at the edge of the water and the filter looked as if it got burnt. We always kept up with filling it and keeping it clean and no food ever got into it.

Great product.price and quality. Fast shipping.easy to exchange in fountain.makes water taste great.

We’ve used these with fountain for our cats for almost ten years now. Two of our cats had kidney issues and they drink more water using a fountain. I tried the cheaper replacements from the big online company and I don’t think they work. These have real charcoal in them just like filters for drinking water pitchers and they have a bit of charcoal dust when you first run water through them as the instructions direct.
