Petmate Pearl Replendish Waterer with Microban

DO NOT buy this product. This is my second try at the 2.5 gallon waterer, the first purchased elsewhere. I thought maybe I had got a bad one at the feed store. When I inspected this one out of the box, it was clear what the problem is. There is NO SPACE between the bottom of the 2.5 gallon container and the bottom of the drinking bowl, practically as thin as 2 sheets of paper? I have used a larger size of this exact item with no problem in the past, but this size is defectively manufactured. I have left feedback on the manufacturer’s web page, and there are many reviews of this item with the same defect, I wish I had read them first. Chewy should not have to pay for this defective product DO NOT buy this product. This is my second try at the 2.5 gallon waterer, the first purchased elsewhere.

I ordered the 512 oz. It is very big! At first I thought it was too big but after using it, it’s great! My pup is 55 lbs and we live in Texas. He drinks a lot to stay cool. It is awkward to place it on the bowl when filled due to its weight and size but that’s no big deal. It saves me from filling his water bowl 3 times a day.

3 Problems: 1. Fails to fill after 2 fillings. The filter touches the bottom of the bowl and doesn't fill. Have to cock to side or drill holes for water to come out. Replacing filter did nothing. 2. Round shape of the tank makes it had to grab, remove or maneuver, specially when full. 3. Locking tab makes it even harder to get out to fill.

I have two cats, one a heavy drink (don't worry, of the H20 variety). She's very sassy when he water supply is depleted, and she likes her water crisp and fresh...and hey, who can blame her? I was often being yelled at, and brought empty water bowls with a scowl on her face. How DARE I not notice immediately that she sucked down her water like a vacuum. I tried a few options out, but this water supply has been the most satisfactory to my fluff ball. It keeps full for weeks, and that with my second cat also having the occasional drink as well. The filters are a nice touch, and it doesn't get dirty as easy as some with a lower set water pan.

Works great if you have multiple dogs. Only have to refill on a weekly basis. Only issue I've encountered is that you have to line up the grooves and twist it to lock the water jug in place. Can be a hassle when the water jug is full. Some people may not be able to lift the jug and get into place properly. My jug chipped at the bottom after the first time I had to line up the grooves. It still works fine but it would be easier if you could just drop it into the hole for the water bowl. The jug is heavy enough when its full that it will not go anywhere.

Nice collection of water reservoirs, but avoid the 2.5 gallon version. Does not drain properly and is poorly designed. From reading previous reviews, this is a problem with the 2.5 gallon size, only. Returning mine for a smaller version. Nice idea when implemented.

I was trying to find a bowl like this that was stainless but could only find small ones. With that being said this water bowl is exactly what we were looking for minus the stainless steel part. It is easy to clean and fill. It holds more than enough water for my two 80lb golden retrievers and I like that it has a filter as well.

So I have the 2.5 gallon size and it will not fill up more than maybe a half inch of water. I thought I was loosing my mind because this is a very simple product. Just set the bottle in the bowl upside down, right? However, I finally realized why it does not work. It is simply the design is poorly thought through. When the bottle is upside down, the mouth of the bottle is only a half inch off the bottom of the bowl, so that's how much it fills. So... I wouldn't recommend this product, I suppose no one tested this size before mass producing it.

Got this to ensure that our dogs would always have water for them during the day. When I first put it out it filled the bowl but since then someone has to manually force the water to come. At this point it is pretty much useless except to store water the dogs can never get to.

It is amazing i just got it on the 21st but first use the tab keeping the filter in place popped off immediately and started to float to the top along side the filter emptied it and put it back and tried again and it popped off again other than that i love it.
