3 out of 5 stars Noisy but good..   April 1, 2008
I've been reading the reviews for this product and others similar to it. I broke down and bought this one. It wasn't hard to assemble. The blue part is a resevoir of water with a floater to continually add water to the bowl as it gets used up. When you clean it or set it up you have to make sure that you add the water to the base before putting the resevoir on, or all the water from the resevoir will trickle out to fill the base. It comes with a replacement filter. The motor is small and makes quite a bit of noise, like an aquarium. It also has an adjustment lever to control the flow of water.
The cats were afraid of it at first but once they got used to the sound they started to use it. The ferret loves it too. I've noticed them drinking a lot more water. I put a couple of ice cubes in the bowl everyday so that they have cold water.
They seem to appreciate having clean water with no woozies in it. They lick their own butts, but dirty water, they ain't havin' that. One cat likes to wash her feet in the bowl, which I appreciate since she sticks her foot in my nostrils while I'm sleeping.
I've had it for several months now, and all seems okay. Overall, this is a product that I would recommend to other pet owners.



4 out of 5 stars Better than the others, but still short of perfect   March 30, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Compared to the Drinkwell fountain I had previously - it's a much better fountain for a number of reasons.

Good things:
- Quiet. When it's running properly, you can't hear a thing.
- Doesn't make the water too warm. This is important because with the Drinkwell fountain, the motor would get hot and warm the water - not only do the cats dislike this, but it leads to an increased chance of bacteria formation. I honestly don't know how it keeps the water cool, but it does.
- Filters are cheap. You can get 2 or 3 packs at Petsmart for cheap, or get them from Ebay for even less.
- Material is easy to clean. The entire unit is made of a very smooth plastic that makes it very easy to clean. The Drinkwell fountain was made of a rough material that "trapped" food particles and made it difficult to clean.

As much as I like it, there are some things that definitely need to be improved:

Bad things:
- The motor traps hair easily. Hair gets caught in the motor and you have to remove the hair almost weekly. If not, you'll find the fountain doesn't work properly and you have to keep turning it on and off.
- There's a plastic piece on the main water reservoir that's so thin that it breaks easily. I've broken it twice when cleaning it - luckily customer service is great and they send me free replacements.
- There's an issue with the motor where if you turn it off to add more water, then turn it on, it'll make a loud bubbling noise as it tries to get water up to the top. It fixes itself if you turn it on and off repeatedly, but it's a pain.

I usually let the fountain run 2-3 days. By then, the reservoir is more than half empty so I'll empty the entire thing, give it a quick wipe, then refill it with fresh water. Once a week, I clean it with dishsoap and use a Q-tip to clean out the motor. I'm told it isn't necessary, but I like the idea of a clean fountain.

Overall, this is much better than the Drinkwell fountain. Not perfect, but definitely one of the best out there. I paid $50 and it's since dropped to just over $25, which is a great deal.



5 out of 5 stars Best Pet Bowl For Your Money   March 29, 2008
3 years ago, when I was still living with my mother, we decided to purchase this cat fountain. My cat, Sally, always had a desire to drink from the fresh running water of the sink, but wouldn't be nearly as eager to drink out of the automatically filling plain water bowl that we had. We bought this fountain and shortly after, the previous still-sitting water bowl was entirely abandoned by all three of our cats. They all switched over, exclusively, to the Petmate bowl. They seem to enjoy the running water and the fact that the water is continuously moving and that it's filtered. We no longer see bits of cat food sitting at the bottom of the bowl, mucking the bowl up.

I occasionally saw stray strands of fur floating at the top of the water in the bowl, but the cats would drink from the little slide the water ran down. We were easily able to just scoop the little bits of fur out of the water. We also found we were easily able to monitor the cats water intake by watching the resevoir levels, which helped us keep an eye out on the cats to see if any of them were getting sick.

The fountain isn't very hard to clean at all, so I'm not sure why everyone is complaining. We refill the resevoir when it starts to get low, empty the water out and rinse it with hot water before refilling it with cold water and replacing it. We change the filter every 4-6 weeks and the bowl, itself, is easy to clean using hot water and dish soap (like a regular pet bowl). I find it stays clean a lot longer than a regular sitting-water pet bowl. I can't imagine what a persons cat must be doing in these bowls for them to have slime of any sort on any of the components or to find themselves needing to clean it daily. Even weekly seems rather meticulous for this bowl.

Our cats are drinking more water than they did with the old bowl, we're happy we don't need to clean their bowl so often, and it's very quiet. You can hardly tell the fountain is running at all unless you were to see the water running. The filters are cheap and it's really a good luxury for any spoiled or well loved pet. The price really just can't be beat!

And now that I live in an apartment with my cat, I'm buying another one just for her. There's no way I'd switch and there's no way I'd cheat my cat out of this fantastic treat. I've never once had a single problem with this product. It's perfect.



5 out of 5 stars This fountain is awesome   March 26, 2008

I have two big dogs and I was afraid that this would have to be refilled everyday however, it has a very large capacity. My dogs haven't drank out of the toilet since we got this fountain!!! I am very happy with it. Only problem is when they drink after they eat so food particles get to the very bottom, but I read someone else's review about using a clean fish net to get it out and it works great!! This is definitely a must have!!!


5 out of 5 stars Wonderful!   March 25, 2008
This pet fountain kicks butt! I have had it for about a month now. Two out of my 3 cats are obsessed with the shower when I get in, because they love running water. I was curious as to whether or not this would translate to the drink fountain, and I was glad that it did. It took a few days for my cats to realize what the heck it was, but now all three of my cats are drinking out of it. My cats were very finicky about fresh water before--I had to change the water bowls twice a day, and they would stand there and stare at me until I did it! Now with the constant filtration of the Petmate Fresh Flow, all I have to do is refill the reservoir every other day. I highly recommend this quiet, efficient product!
