 Keeps going...and going! February 8, 2010
Cecilia Sullivan (San Francisco Bay area, United States)
I purchased a Drinkwell Pet Fountain for my kitties back in the summer of 2001. It has been running ever since. It is imperative to keep the thing clean, and never let it run out of water. We also have the reservoir attached to hold additional water. My cats LOVE this fountain.
Once you figure out how to take it apart to clean everything (including the impeller), it becomes very easy to dismantle and reassemble.
For those who have cats prone to urinary crystals or cystitis, this can be a great way to encourage a cat to drink enough water.
I can't compare the Drinkwell to any other pet fountain, since this was my first choice, and I've never had to purchase a replacement.
For this reason, we give it a definite paws-up =D

Well, checked out a bunch of these drinking fountains on-line prior to purchase. This was a really nice deal! I also ordered cleaning brushes and reservoir. Absolutely must get a reservoir. I don't even have to look at it for days at a time. Rocky, my 18 lb fatty from Cincinnati, uses it frequently. I do keep the cleaning directions in the kitchen cause I am not so savvy with taking stuff apart and putting it back together, but it's really not hard. I use filtered water from my fridge so not really needing to change but every 1-2 wks right now. I do think Rocky drinks more even though I don't see it cause he doesn't bug me so much now when I'm in the bathroom to get a "drink from the sink". Anyway, nice product, quiet and easy to use.

My cat is 12-1/2 years old and since he's been about 6 months old would not drink water out of a bowl. To encourage him to drink water, I started picking him up and putting him on the bathroom sink, turning the water on trickle for him. I have since tried many, many different "fountains" to no avail. He would even go near any of them....just glare at them from a distance.
Now that he's older and having a hard time jumping down from the sink, I decided to try the Drinkwell and lo and behold he drank out of it the minute I put it on the floor. First he was drinking by scooping water in his paw and then licking it off, but now he drinks from the fountain. I'm very happy and I think he is too because he doesn't have to wait for me to turn on the faucet. I never was able to teach him to turn it on himself.
Mine does make a humming sound, but I don't care. I'm just happy he's drinking out of it.
13 years and STILL PUMPING! February 1, 2010
T. L. Youngblood (Boise, ID United States)
Way back in 1997, my vet recommended I buy this fountain for my male cat who was suffering from crystals in his urine, in part from not drinking enough water. He was a finicky drinker, and if the water was more than 12 hours old, he wouldn't drink it. Back then, there were very few places that sold this fountain and it was expensive. I ordered it from a Drs. Foster and Smith catalog, and I seem to remember it cost more than $70 after shipping, which was a lot to a poor college student. But I thought it would be cheaper than vet bills and if anything would stop Dragon's painful urinary problems, I would try it (I also changed his to a non-seafood based food, which helped). Long story short, he and his brother both loved it, he never had another kidney related vet appointment again, and he died at the ripe old age of 14 from natural causes. This same fountain is now living on through another generation of cats who also love it, and it just keeps on pumping. I admit I am not the most diligent about cleaning it. It gets a rinse once a month and a full breakdown cleaning in the dishwasher (with the pump removed and the clear pastic reservior handwashed) every two months or so. I change the filter once per month. I've never had to replace a single part, even the pump. It's all original 1997 vintage parts, doesn't even look like the new version anymore, no logo or anything. :) My DH says it looks ugly from the limescale build-up around the bowl that will NOT come off (we have hard water) and he suggested we buy one of those fancy-schmancy bubbly dome ones for our ridiculously pampered kitties. It's not gonna happen. If this fountain EVER ACTUALLY DIES, I will be loyal to both the manufacturer and the vendor I bought it from and buy another one just like it from the same place. If you have any doubts about buying this, don't worry, just press "Add To Cart."

My cat wont drink from her water dish, ever. She has alwasy preferred the bathroom sink. since she is getting older, i really wanted to protect her urinary health, so i purchased this water fountain. She actually drinks from this! Now i dont have to worry that she is going without water when i am not at home. Great prioduct. It makes a nice running water sound, doesnt drip or leak. it's great!
