Product Description
Pets need to drink plenty of water to ensure their good health.

Pets simply approach the fountain and drink from the reservoir or directly from the flowing stream. Features:UL-approved, quiet, submersible pump sends the water through a carbon filter to remove impurities and improve taste. The removable reservoir automatically releases additional water when needed.A flow control lever lets you set how quickly the stream flows. Built-in ramp reduces splashing and keeps running water quiet for you. Plugs into a standard household AC outlet and the 6' cord is removable so the unit can be easily cleaned. Has an On/Off switch with low voltage system for pet safety. Has non-skid rubber feet. Minimal assembly required. Includes a manufacturer's one year warranty. 216 oz. capacity.

 Its not the best but may be good enough for your needs... September 29, 2008
In my search for a fresh water fountain I started off with this water fountain from Petmate.
I wasnt very impressed.
True, it will circulate the water. It has a filter & it will work just fine for some people.
The water tank is very small & unless you have just 1 or 2 cats or a Yorkie, youll be refilling constantly. Also, refilling is a bit more difficult than other products.
Im not saying this is not a good product but it wasnt a good product for me.
As one reviewer stated, " you get what you pay for!"
I just think this Petmate is not as good a product as the Drinkwell which I purchased for 2X the price after trying the Petmate.
Ive had the Drinkwell Platinum for well over a year & its never been a problem. Easy to clean, runs quietly & my 2 cats & 4 dogs drink much more water than if it was in a bowl.
In fact, due to adding 2 more dogs to the pack Im on Amazon now to purchase my 2nd Drinkwell fountain.
Again, the Petmate may be just right for you. But the Drinkwell is a far better product.
 Excellent idea, but improvements could be made September 22, 2008
I believe this product is an excellent idea. However there are improvements that could be made.
For one, it is very difficult to clean and stay clean. There are tight crevices and to get every little area, I had to purchase a cleaning kit separately that came with brushes to get those hard to reach areas. The motor also has to be cleaned as well, so you have tiny parts to pull apart and clean as well. The filters need to be replaced often and they aren't cheap to replace. In a two cat household, I would need to do these things more often as well.
Another issue with the fountain, is that you need to keep the reservoir full. Otherwise, you will hear a loud motor or water sound.
The good thing to this fountain is that it promotes good pet health. I find that my cats drink more water when using the fountain.
Unfortunately, I do not have time to clean it as well as I would like. I am going to go back the stainless steel bowls and just change the water out twice a day instead of once a day to encourage my cats to drink more water. I will also be using filtered water as well.
If you are thinking about using this fountain, see if you can find one at the pet store and look at all of the parts before making that final purchase and consider the time it will take and whether or not it would be worth it to you.
 Best water bowl ever September 19, 2008
This the best water bowl for more that one pet ever. With 4 cats and on dog it last 2 days and they love it. It takes a day or two for them to start using it. Would recomend it to anyone with more than 1 cat.
Water Them Well September 15, 2008
We have multiple cats in the house and went through the daily routine of rinsing out water bowls and placing fresh water in them all. With the Deluxe Fresh Flow Fountain, we now have much less of a chore. With its footprint, the cats cannot turn it over and spill on the floor the way they could with other bowls. It is quiet if you keep the filter clean (dirty filters = noise).
OK... hard to clean! September 13, 2008
The fountain works fine although the filter does leak a bit into the bowl so that it gets dirty very fast. I would not reccomend this fountain b/c it is very awkward to clean and refill which needs to be done often. Would be good if the company created a way to take out the bowl seperate from the entire fountain.
