i buy these because they say i should Feb 12, 2010 i hope my cat notices her fresh filtered water while her daddy drinks tap !!
Not as exspected Feb 11, 2010 Very noisy, I have had it about a month. The water kept over flowing. I guess the seal has broken on the overflow tank, according to company; They did send me a new one free. I have not been able to test long enough to comment about.
Drinkwell Filters Filter Feb 11, 2010 My cat loves the drinkwell fountain, and, well, these filters do what they're supposed to do -- filter! I like to buy four packages at a time, so I don't have to think about ordering again for another year.
Drinkwell Filters were good Feb 09, 2010 This isn't the first time I purchased these, but it was the first time the packages had so much charcoal dust outside of the packages. Good product, but these obviously took a beating somewhere.

Drinkwell Platinum Fountain/ Use ONLY Drinkwell Filters Jan 11, 2010
For our two cats we have a Platinum Drinkwell Fountain. We also live in a VERY hard water area.. There is nothing about the fountain or the filters that will "soften" the water, that is not what they're for. The idea is to get cats--descended from North African Desert animals---to drink more water. Its better for their kidneys; they'll likely live longer. ( A high percentage of older cats die from kidney failure, it is very common. Many veterenarians now are encouraging the use of some canned or "wet" cat food in a cat's diet to provide more moisture, since most cats aren't big on drinking....thats in part what all this is about.)
As other posters have commented, my former cats always wanted the tap water on a "thin" drip or flow of water. It had to be "just so"...not too much, not too little...but they preferred drinking that water over their water in bowls, no matter how often the bowls were changed/cleaned. (Yes, I tried glass, ceramic, stainless steel, every recommendation about what type of bowls cats are said to prefer...)
When the cat water fountains first came out I was skeptical at first...but it made sense, obviously this re-created what the cats preferred. The running water, the sound....so I got one.
The critical element after buying the fountain is maintaining it. READ the directions! Change the filters "every 2-4 weeks depending on the size and number of pets using the fountain". Thats from the back of the Drinkwell filter package. And please use Drinkwell filters if you have a Drinkwell fountain! They are made to work together.
Also follow the directions regarding rinsing off the excess charcoal off the filters with cold water before insertion into the Drinkwell machine. It is a good filter, but you must follow the directions.
CLEAN the fountain...including the little parts around the motor. We take it apart about every other week and put the entire fountain, minus motor, in the upper section of the dishwasher, and run it, with the usual dishwashing detergent, which works great. The motor area can be cleaned with q-tips or the special brushes sold by Drinkwell. If the fountain is not kept clean and the fiilters are not replaced, the whole thing will stop working, though long before that your cats will be drinking recycled dirty water.
This isn't hard, just a bit of reminding yourself. Just like with your car, there is basic cleaning and maintenance required.
Also, reading some other posters: please don't use BLEACH to clean the fountain...plastic of all kind (think Tupperware) absorbs odors, I can't imagine a cat with his/her sensitive nose drinking water after the unit the cleaned w/ bleach, no matter how dilute. Also the vinegar and water thing....thats better than bleach but are you really cleaning the unit? Not that it has to be sterilized....just cleansed the way you would your family's dishes and glasses.
BTW we also keep a bowl of water available too, "just in case".
