Knuckle buster and impossible to clean with out a dishwasher
I've had our drinkwell for about 6 years now. The cats love it, the dog loves it. But boy is it a b*tch to clean!!! I wish they'd redesign the dam* thing.
Attention Drinkwell Engineers
1. Take out ALL the right angles AND THE CRANNIES. Design it so it is actually possible to clean with your silly bottle brushes.
2. Make it easier to pull out the stupid pump with out causing injury to one's knuckles and fingers. Hint, cut away the back of the fountain where the pump is so you can actually get a grip on it to twist it out.
That said, when it's time to wash it, I put everything (except the pump) in the dishwasher and run it on sanitize. It comes out slime free! While it's washing, I nurse my banged-up knuckles with some neosporin, bandaids and an ice cold beer and we're good to go for another 3 weeks.
