PetSafe Healthy Gravity Refill Dog & Cat Waterer

hard to open, fill and cloe

Could not open the top, until my adult son 'struggled' & got it to open. Very hard to handle...even when empty. When full...worse..spilled lots of water on the floor. I have another one from dif company that works great...easy to open, lift,fill, close, & return....have if for several years. Needed a 2nd one for addl cats. Prob will try to return it...altho it only came in a plastic bag with other item in big box. Very unhappy with this....looked better on the computer

Works well!

I used to have the old school style of this before the filter. It never leaked! I think you have to make sure you really push that little black cap on if you use the filter. Otherwise, it's definitely going to leak! You have to push it on really hard. I thought I push it on really hard the first time but I noticed it ended up being a little loose but okay when I flipped it over the first time. Way too much water for the cat but perfect for a vacation! Overall, I'm really happy with it. Yes, you have to take the whole thing off and not just the top if you want to add water. I like how you can clean the stainless steel or throw in the dishwasher! Pretty simple.

Not a fan of this

Bought this for my boxer and he refuses to drink from it. The water ends up turning bad in the bowl. We hand washed this before use, yet after 3 days it had a film on top of the water. Yes, we even had the pricy filter in it.

DON'T BUY!!!

Terrible product. Stopped working after a few days. Cheap plastic, metal & rubber fittings. The rubber gasket won't stay on the plastic piece that control water flow and if it does, the plastic piece that controls the water flow won't allow the water to flow. Waste of money.

water with a side of bacteria and mold

I bought my first 2 years ago and added another 6 months later. They’re dirty and constantly filled with scum EVEN with the filters. It’s left my dogs with stomach issues. Bacteria rapidly develops and so does mold. I wash them out once a week as well as run them through the dishwasher. The water levels are very hard to see. The filters are ridiculously expensive and get clogged up quickly. I notice my Merle was always puking, he has an anxiety disorder. I thought his puking was attributed to that. However, then my other lab started get pukey too. As a good pet mom started investigating it and found the water container had developed mold inside the holding container. Extremely toxic and dangerous. Very hard to see because of the design. So now after spending a fortune on 3 of these I have to find something else cleaner and safer. Total bought: 3 kept 2 returned one because it kept air locking. Hard to clean and cannot clean the inner container as the opening isn’t wide to get my hand and arm in and out to give it a good scrub. If I could afford the shipping I would return them to Chewy and have their lab run tests on these products. I do not need a product that I need a hazmat suit to wash out. So please if you love your babies the way I love mine, DO NOT PURCHASE THESE. Pictures are before I did the weekly washing. I am not going to slide my finger around the bowl to show the scum because is sickening and gross. How Chewy can claim “Healthy Gravity” Refill I have no clue because there’s nothing healthy about bacteria and mold infested infested water.

Disappointed

I thought you could fill it from the top, which is why I got it. But that is not the case. Also, mine did not come with any filters at all. And now I am not sure what happened but now it constantly leaks out and have only had it a few months

I’ve bought 2 of these for my dogs & I love it! A lot easier than a bowl that doesn’t have the filter & always gets the “film” around it so you have to wash it 4 times a day.

Gravity Refll Dog & Cat Waterer

This isn't very practical because you need to fill it by the bottom not the top as I thought. When you place it back on top of the bowl there is nothing to hold the water from gushing out. Unless I didn't get the part that is needed. Sorry I say don't buy this thing!!!

He loves it

We sleep with the bedroom door closed. Of course, our fur baby sleeps with. We always kept a bowl with water, changed daily, in the bedroom. Recently, I purchased this waterer. It is amazing how much he loves it. We will come into the house from playing ball, walking, etc. and he will literally go into the bedroom to get a drink. His water is changed sometimes multiple times a day. The dog loves the new waterer!

petsafe water fountain

I like this better than the other one purchase because the other one was hard to figure out and it fell on the floor in the garage and broke. I ordered filter and still waiting for it to arrive.
