 Good, but... not so good for hard water areas September 5, 2010
K. Neal (El Paso, TX)
I have had 2 Drinkwell pet fountains. We have 4 cats, and 2 of them use the fountain. (The other 2 cats prefer to drink from a bowl of standing water.) We live in the desert southwest and have fairly hard water. The Drinkwell pet fountain is very difficult to clean and requires frequent cleaning. I tried cleaning with white vinegar and dish soap, but I cannot remove the hard water stains that basically become part of the plastic. The hard water stains build up over time and it is impossible to keep it clean after 2-3 years. I just threw away the last fountain because I could not remove the black mold that had adhered to the hard water stains. I'm planning to get a ceramic fountain because they are supposed to be easier to clean.
If you are diligent about keeping the pet fountain cleaned every week or so, then it will last a long time. But, if you live in a hard water area, then the pet fountain will not last more than 2-3 years.

My two cats love this drinking fountain, they seem to drink more water from this, it is like coming fresh from the faucet...
Thank You
 No, don't buy it! September 3, 2010

After two weeks our family has had it with this fountain! It is noisy to the point that no one, not even the cats, wants to be in the kitchen with it. Don't waste your money!
INITIAL MOTOR NOISE BUT NOW FIXED August 24, 2010

I have one adopted cat, so I purchased the Drinkwell original pet fountain plus the 70 ounce reservoir. My cat had previously been in a home where the faucet was left running 24/7 so he refused to drink from a bowl. (Cat's rule, don't they!!)Since we cannot leave water running on our very tight water rations, our wake-up calls were getting most annoying. Needless to say, I was excited to find this product, though the mixed reviews did concern me. First, I must say that this fountain is flimsy to the touch. The first time it was used, the motor noise was loud enough to be heard 30 ft. away through two rooms; the running water could not be heard at all. My cat wouldn't go near it because of the noise, so it took about 7 days for him to trust it. Instructions specify cleaning the motor every two weeks, but the motor could not be removed even with a hefty strong hand, and I didn't want to pry it out with a tool for fear of breakage, so after about 5 days of first use, I took everything apart, removed the impeller and cleaned the motor intact with a wire brush. Even though there were no visible signs of cat hair/sand/dirt etc., once everything was put back together - it worked quietly! Perhaps the impeller needed to be blessed, I don't know. But it works quietly now. And the 70-ounce reservoir is a must. I've got mine on an uneven tile floor, no mat, with the backside (reservoir side) resting against wooden cupboards and it runs quietly. My cat doesn't play with it so there's no fear of knocking the reservoir off, although it is very flimsy construction. The reservoir was easy to attach - follow instructions specifically, and you'll not spill a drop of water. BTW, with the 70 ounce reservoir, your cat will have fresh water for about 6 days. Since we live in a hot climate, sometimes I throw a couple ice cubes in the bowl. So much better than a bowl of standing water!! I've taken one star off for flimsy construction and a stuck motor.
Cat and I both love this! August 19, 2010

This is the greatest gift for a cat who loves to drink from the bathtub or sink faucet...their very own running fountain. It's quiet so long as you don't let it run too low on water. The cat and I are both very happy with it.
