Bye-bye bad tap water taste. Hello healthy hydration! Cats and dogs love the free-falling water stream from the Drinkwell Original Pet Fountain, and it's no mystery why. The replaceable carbon filter gets rid of tap water odor and taste, and 50 ounces of water are constantly aerated to maximize the oxygen absorption in every sip. Pet parents have a reason to love it, too: it's dishwasher safe!

For best performance, the fountain pump needs to be cleaned every two weeks. When cleaning the pump, we recommend cleaning the fountain and changing the filter as well. Multi-pet households may need to be cleaned more frequently.

I have tried atleast 3 other fountains. This is the ONLY one I don't have to dismantle every week and thoroughly unclog and clean. I've had it 3 months now and haven't had to take it apart once. My cats are very particular about the water flow and I'm particular about the noise. This one satisfies us both! The color isn't that attractive but it might be better than the preferred white as it doesn't look as dirty all the time. Highly recommend
Purchased this to replace my prior (+8 year old) Petsafe Drinkwell Original water fountain. Pump motor finally broke and they don't make the same replacement motor so got whole new fountain. Seems the same, alhough water flow is noiser. Hope this one lasts as long since my 3 cats like it. I like that it can be put in dishwasher, but haven't tried that yet.
Just set up the fountain for our 15 year old male cat who was slightly dehydrated and has had two recent UTIs. We were afraid he would be scared of it, but in just a minute he started drinking from the bowl. He took four long drinks before he walked away. Looks like a great investment! I am wondering if we should have purchased a larger fountain based on his reaction.
I bought this fountain for my cat because she always wanted to drink from the running sink water, which is fine but I had to stand there, so I bought her this. She was very apprehensive at first. She'll drink from the bowl but noy from the flowing water. She'll get used to it. I think it's cool/
I have had many cat fountains, but the Drinkwell is the best, and lasts the longest. Had my last one about 7 years, and it finally wore out. You should carry the additional reservoir, which holds another quart for when you have to leave for a few days.
I decided to replace our 2 year old fountain with this one. I wish I had kept the box to return this. The motor is annoying and much louder than our previous one. Save your $.
Our oldest cat has kidney issues but only drinks when we turn on the bathroom faucet, so this seemed a perfect way to get her to drink more. It's just so loud in both where the water lands as it falls, and the motor. I tried putting the whole thing on a rubber mat, but it wasn't quieter. Otherwise it's such a good idea and seemed well made.
My cat would not touch this fountain. The flow is too high even at the lowest setting.
This was a replacement fountain for the one I had 3 years. My cats love it. Plugged new one in and it was so noisy with a hum that the water was shaking. The pump noise was horrible. Chewy promptly sent a new one and although not as bad the replacement still has a loud hum. The manufacture of the pump has an issue and they need to fix it. Even with the noise I would recommend.
This fountain is very loud. If the sound of constant running water might be bothersome to you, do not buy this product.
