I got a Drinkwell so my cats would stop drinking out of the toilet or
lapping up water left on the kitchen counter. They love it, and it's the only water they drink anymore. Jon "muffin" wrote in message news:dUClc.11745$k24.2332@fed1read01...

I got the new one at Petco/ MLB |

Petmate... water flows down a ramp. Drinkwell... water pours out of the spout. -- "Its the bugs that keep it running." -Joe Canuck |

Have you used some of those filtered water dispensers like Drinkwell.? Yes. The Freshflow one, not the Drinkwell. Any opinion? Of course! Lots of opinions. Regarding the Freshflow, it works and my (2) cats like it, but I think it's pretty poor design: 1. It needs very frequent cleaning otherwise it ends up being a cat hair fountain. There is no (external) filter to prevent cat hair getting in to the pump, so said pump needs to be disassembled whenever it starts sounding like a small army of Trabants. This happens all too often. 2. It's not all that easy to clean, given that it has various sticky out bits wot are tricky to maneuver your cleaning apparatus round. Ooooer. 3. The (plastic) water slide gets gradually eroded if your cat likes to lick the water from that part of the fountain. 4. The water pump itself seems to have a limited lifetime. After less than a year, the pump on my fountain now sounds like it's attempting to tunnel to freedom, or possibly pump whole brazil nuts through a sieve. The Drinkwell may be a better design. If I knew this was so, I'd buy one and dump the Freshflow. Where is a good place to buy those online and save from the $50 there are at Petsmart? Dunno. www.reallycheappetdrinkingfountainsrus.com?
