Petmate Pearl Replendish Waterer with Microban

Purchased this for my 60 lb lab shepherd mix. I decided to get the 2.5 gallon since I was tired of filling his water bowl three times a day. Axel drinks a ton of water, we call him a camel, and this still lasts 5 days before I have to refill. I haven't seen any evidence of mold or bacteria growth in the three weeks I have used it, but I do clean it every time I refill it, which is every 5 days or so. It does make some noise when it dispenses but Axel doesn't mind it. If you have problems lifting or bending, get the smaller one. A full 2.5 gallon weighs several pounds and can be hard to maneuver.

I ordered the 1/2 gallon size at the beginning of summer to place outside. I liked it so well that I ordered a second one for inside. I have filtered water, so I don’t necessarily always use the provided filter as it really cuts the flow of the water. I have three small pups and this is the perfect size to last several days without getting “nasty” before it is empty. I have also noticed that the bowl and water stays cleaner than traditional bowls because my pups have lots of face hair and they can’t get their whole face in it to drink. Best thing of all? It is heavy and awkward enough that it really deters my little guy from rearranging the water bowl and dumping water everywhere!

While this really isn’t a reflection on the product, we have an issue with one of our cats who enjoys splashing water ... and can even turn this over all together, creating a huge mess. We’re trying to find a water bowl to help prevent these types of messes. With that said, we also have the same bowl, only larger, for our two dogs and it works perfectly. If anyone has any suggestions on resolving our cat/water bowl situation, please let us know.

I love it! It arrived promptly, easy to put together, it can be heavy, and I had a small amount of spill but I use a mat and it just spilled in that. No biggie. Works great. All 3 kittens and 3 55-75 lbs dogs went right to it! I bought one 4 gal one for everyone to share. Will post again about how long it lasts and how often I need to fill it up! This will be an absolute godsend for people like me who have a zoo!

I just got it, and put it in the dishwasher to wash before I used it. The instructions said to rinse before using, but did not warn that it was not dishwasher save. The reservoir melted. I don't see anywhere where I can order just a replacement reservoir, so I guess this is going in the trash. I don't prefer a dish that I can't sterilize occasionally in the dishwasher, so I'm not going to buy another one just to see if it works out otherwise.

It stood the test of time, but barely. Obviously not dishwasher safe, it warped. Yeah, my fault, but plastic where the water is held is very thin. Base plastic nice and sturdy but was nearly impossible to wash. Not sturdy enough to stand on carpet because after two years my cats had the brilliant idea that they want to knock it over every other day. What a mess! Having to buy a new one, seems to be more sturdy. Don't mind paying a little more for better quality.

I have three of these. They are not manufactured correctly. The basin does not fill up all the way. I have to elevate the back of it under folded towels to get it to stay half full. Otherwise it may fill to 1/4" of water max. The jug sits way too low in the basin where it is practically touching the bottom of it. Would not recommend.

I've had smaller and larger versions of this and they've all been excellent. The 1 gallon is a great size for 2 large dogs and a cat (I used to have the 3 gallon and it was awfully heavy for me). I only refill about every other day which is doable. All the animals definitely like the taste in this water versus just refilling bowls.

First of all, this thing came dirty with tons of brown gunk all over it... and then, after we filled up this 'waterer' last night 09/17/2018 we woke up this morning to 4 gallons of water on our floors. I can't believe I spent $30 to have to pay someone to fix water damage in our new rental.

I ordered this water dish and I LOVE it! My regular water dish stayed dirty with food from my 4 dogs mouths and I had to wash it everytime I changed their water which was at least twice a day. With this water dish, it has anti microbial protection and I can give it a quick rinse when I fill the gallon container once a day! I still use Dawn and clean it every other day. This has been a tremendous help to me! I highly recommend it!!!
