Petmate Pearl Replendish Waterer with Microban

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!

I had a 3-gallon waterer of a different brand prior to this one. What I like about this 4-gallon waterer compared to the one I had before is the wide microban bowl, the filter, and the clear water jug. My last one, however, had a couple features that I wish this one had. First is a handle on the top which made it much easier to carry, since you’re lugging the heavy jug all the way from your bathtub. Second, which explains why it lacks a handle, is the water starts pouring out as soon as you turn it upside-down to secure it into the bowl. Water spills on the floor every time. My other one had a spring-loaded system that only allowed water to come out when it was pressed into the lower dish. I’ I had a 3-gallon waterer of a different brand prior to this one.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

So nice to not have to refill a dog bowl multiple times a day. I love that there's a filter too, and I've seen them around, so it gives me confidence that when it needs to be replaced I can find it easily. Nice construction for the price. I have learned the hard way though, don't run the top through a dishwasher.

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.
