iHAVE THE dRINKWELL Platinum. 2 Years now. I dropped the Water Container and it cracked and leaked. So I gorilla glue iT the past year and still works great. I just ordered a new Container. and Mat. You have to take the pump apart and clean it good .1x week... 4 min pins and Jack Rat love it and it saves me lot of time going to refill 6 five gallons of filtered water a week. But with the Drinkwell they don't do that. They will all bark if water is dirty. Gotta love it I SURE DO
Thank you for your review. Have been looking for a fountain for my cat who only drinks from the faucet. After watching your video, I am going to purchase one.
It's not something to "spoil" or "pamper" your cat with and it's not a "luxury", it's for their health. My cat simply will NOT drink stagnant water, so if I didn't use a pet fountain she would probably die of dehydration. Some cats do need a fountain, because some cats won't drink stagnant water.
I have two cats and one loves this, and the other does not drink from it. A great product to have if you work away from home, or if you are going away for a day or two.
I just bought one today. It has been sitting there flowing for a few hours now (I put it in the same spot as the old water bowl) but neither my cat or dog has attempted to drink from it yet. I hope I didn't waste my money... My cat is 20 yrs old and drinks LOTS of water all day. So I am wondering why she hasn't tried it yet.
I had one. It got clogged all the time with cat hair. If you don't mind taking it apart and cleaning every piece every month or so, then it does what it says. Just make sure the water never runs dry because your motor will burn out.
I recently bought the Drinkwell Original but am returning it for the Platinum. The maximum capacity of the Original with the 70 oz (max size) resevoir is 120 oz. This will hold 168 oz. I have one cat that will not drink still water. I have been having to turn the sink or any other faucet on to a slow stream to get her to drink. I live in an arid part of the country so i've always been worried about her getting enough water. She took right to this product (the Original).
I also noticed that my cats prefere running water. They even paw at the water surface or side of the water dish and only drink it for as long as it ripples... when they are not checking out the faucets for drips.
I was in the process of making a little fountain myself... now I don't have to. Thanx. :)
I now do not have the need to make my own. I am a tinker, not an engineer. My kitties destroyed my last prototype. They are playful and attacked the moving parts (mill-like). I digress. I will just buy the fountain that you endorsed here.
Hi Bulletproofshirts: You are absolutely correct. I had created a video on this product and posted it on Youtube about a week ago. But I didn't really like it. So I re did it and here it is - the second take :)
looks good, i think i might get one for my cat who hates drinking water. do you think he will use it, he is very timid

I had to literally lead my old cats to water and point them at it, but then they figured it out and love it!
