Product Description
The Drinkwell® Platinum Pet Fountain is the ultimate in style and design. The Platinum utilizes the same innovative watering system as our other Drinkwell® Pet Fountains, featuring the patented free-falling stream of water. This entices pets to drink more, keeping them happy, healthy and hydrated. The Platinum features a new snap-on lid to prevent accidental removal, a pre-filter to catch any large particles before they reach the motor, and a submersible pump for nearly silent operation. With the same quality that consumers have come to rely on, the Drinkwell® Platinum is a culmination of 10 years experience in making pet fountains.

Noisy piece of junk. Have to put it in the room with their litter box so as not to hear the constant whining of the motor. Save your money. Get a dog.
The unit appears white in the photo posted. It’s actually speckled gray – not very attractive. This was not in any of the descriptions or clear from the photo so I wasted ~$40 in shipping both ways due to the lack of information on that. I’m sharing this so that others can avoid that problem.
When they state that to cut down costs, the item will be packaged in a plain box…they weren’t kidding. I purchased mine from this site. The cost of the fountain was only $0.00, but the Shipping & Handling was $0.00 bringing the total to $0.00 Still not a terrible price, however I thank UPS Ground Service for their careful handling of the “white box.” The Fountain, as the instructional manual stated, comes fully assembled.” NO WAY! Upon picking up the box, I could hear parts rattling around inside. Upon opening the box, the Fountain was in pieces…not broken but laying around in an empty box with no bubble wrap, or protection whatsoever. With fountain together. I must admit that the Drinkwell Platinum is sturdy, for nothing wthe instructions, (that were found falling out of the box), I put theas broken. I also noted that this website, I purchased it from, charged S&H for a seven pound object even though the weight was under 4 pounds. I will ammend the usefullness of the fountain once my cats start drinking from it. What is confusing is that in reading about the fountain having 4 rubber feet, then why do the instructions reccomend that the fountain be placed on a “placemat” or “towel” if it’s to be placed on a wooden floor, tile floor or carpet? Why the rubber feet then? The instructions also state that if your house uses “hard” water, then they suggest that you purchase “bottled water” to prevent the motor from burning up.
I would have much rather had the original boxing, for it couldn’t have weighed that much, as well as a website sponsored here that was reliable in their packaging procedures. Overall, Amazon has ALWAYS been amazing yet in allowing a website that treats NEW items as though they could survive being thrown into a cardboard box & handled by UPS…well the blame for a damaged item would be between UPS and ThePetStoreOnline for reimbursement. In closing, I REALLY do believe that this fountain is TOUGH, to survive a trip from Georgia to here! (Must be Dishwasher Safe!)

This thing does not filter the water, is impossible to get clean and probably releases toxins because there are no certifications regarding the plastics used not to mention that its made in China which has shipped toxin laden products all too often.
The Drinkwell Platinum works fine, except that water level is usually at, and occasionally over the top of the bowl. Why, you ask? Probably the combination of the relatively hard aquafier water in this region (southern New Mexico) and the elevation of 4,000 feet. (Remember that high school physics lesson about atmospheric pressure pushing down on everything — we just have a little less pressure here at 4,000 feet.) So, I give the product three stars, since the manufacturer didn’t mention this limitation.
