 Not what I was expecting/hoping for January 20, 2008

Our cats are finicky and greatly prefer filtered water over tap water (and our tap water is really fresh... straight from a nearby mountain). We thought this would be a perfect solution and would hold enough water to prevent us from having to set out multiple bowls while away. Unfortunately this product did not even come close to meeting our expectations.
The filter doesn't seem to do a lot. Within a couple of days, the water is noticeably cloudy and after a few more days, the water becomes filthy and the motor begins overheating and making a loud noise which scares our cats. In order to keep this system working well, we have to add a large glass of FILTERED water daily (we only have two small cats!). In addition, we then have to unplug the unit every three days, and drag it over the sink, hopefully without major spills. At the sink we have to disassemble the fountain and clean out all of the parts, none of which are dishwasher safe, then refill three different areas, drag the heavy, constantly shifting unit back over to its home, again, being careful not to spill anything.
The filters say they last weeks, but if we don't replace them every 1 to 1 1/2 weeks, the motor will shut down. After using the product for three months and going through 9 filters, we've finally decided to give up the battle and take it to a thrift shop. Changing the water in our cats' normal bowl each day is much less of a hassle and despite it all, it seems our cats prefer their bowl with still water over their fancy yet noisy fountain bowl. Save you money!!!

I have used this brand of drinking fountain for my dogs and cats for a few years. After seeing the dogs and cats lick their butts and then go get a drink of water, I decided that they really didn't need filtered water! Save your money and leave the filters out. Your animals won't care.

I bought this thinking it was amazing, I was tired of always dumping the water, because my cat will not drink his water unless it is fresh. I thought wow a product that would make life easier. My cat loves drinking out of the sink, so i figured that he would like the constant flow. When I got it I really liked it. For the first 2 days it worked perfectly. it took my cat about a day to get used to it. It flowed like I thought it would and my cat loves to drink from the top where the water comes out. He likes the fact that it flows. I never see him drink from the bottom of the bowl. He has becomes spoiled from it. When the water gets low it makes a really loud sound, so I have to turn it off. When I do that he gets mad and meows for me to turn it back on. He only wants the fresh water that flows. I liked the fact that it would filter the hair and crud from his water. That is what I hate most about my cats water/ That was the main reason I bought this. The thing that I hate about this product is that it does not do that well with filtering the water. I am constantly having to take it completely apart to pull the hair from the suction pump. It is not to hard to do that, but it is a pain. It has the filter to change, which I change regularly. For some reason the hair doesnt even make it to the filter the filter never seems that dirty, but man does the pump always need to be cleaned. If you dont mind taking the product apart and cleaning out all the time Im sure your pet will love it like my cat loves mine. if I would have known this before hand i would not have bought it, but now my cat likes it so much I have to deal with the annoyances of it. Its worth a try if you dont mind the work. Your pet might really like it. It really needs a few adjustments to make it worth the money.

The replacement filters are an exact replacement for the item currently in use. The merchant delivered the item on time and it is exactly what I expected.

After trying for a month; my cat still won't go near, let alone drink from this fountain. Unable to return it because it had been used, it went straight to the thrift store. A total waste of money.
