Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This water bowl replaced a Drinkwell 360 stainless steel bowl. The 360 was nice but became cumbersome and took too long to clean. Too many plastic parts. Ordered this last month and it is wonderful. Very easy to clean in no time at all. Not that many parts. My cats love it. Only one recommendation: do not use any of the filters that are sold with it. I bought a 10 pack of the filters with a tiny amount of charcoal inside. Filters turned yellow after about 3-4 days and water flow came to a trickle. There’s no way that these filters last anywhere near a month as advertised. This was with the foam pre-filter around the motor that’s supposed to catch cat hair, etc. This is my solution: I purchased a canister of granulated aquarium charcoal and this from Amazon-Aquarium Mesh Media Filter Bags - High Flow - with Drawstrings for Activated Carbon - Reusable Fish Tank Charcoal Filter Bag - Aquatic Bags for Fresh or Saltwater Tanks https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08D4T6CXF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_lG9uFbW7RHMKE The combination the mesh bags and charcoal worked perfectly and lasts at least a week before needing to clean. And the mesh bags are reusable. I don’t even use the pre-filter because, in my opinion, it’s not needed. Never seen anything that’s been caught by it. Overall, I’m giving this water fountain a 5 out of 5. I have 2 cats so it’s perfect for them. Highly recommended.
