Contech Water Dog Automatic Pet Fountain Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This unit works great for 2-3 months, but then it fails.
I have had very frustrating experience with this device for I bought 5 units so far since it came out on market.
Everytime, the unit stopped functioning(or water kept on coming out without anything present). Although it broke everytime, I kept on buying a new one because my dogs love this. But now, I give up. Really, this unit works fot the first 2-3 months, and that's it.

The WaterDog automatic outdoor pet drinking fountain lets your dog help itself to fresh water, so you don't have to worry about stagnant or empty water bowls. WaterDog senses your dog's approach, and automatically dispenses a cool, clean stream of fresh drinking water. Smart sonar sensing technology triggers the WaterDog to turn the water on when your pet comes within 3 feet (1 meter), and turns it off when your pet leaves. You'll never have to worry about what your dog's been drinking again.

Pet Top Combo Portable Drinking Device and Short Neck Adapter for Pets, Orange Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First, we use the included adapter to fit the bottles we use (cheap bottled water, standard 16oz type). It works great - the flow is very adjustable from only comes out if they lick, to a fast drip, to tightly closed. All of our dogs have picked up on using it right away, just let some dribble out at first. Great because you don't have to have a special bottle you have to clean out every time and you use less water then a fold up bowl.
Also, to note on others reviews, I would think if it wasn't plastic it wouldn't "bend" enough to form a tight seal when you close it.

Cat-It LARGE Fresh & Clear Drinking Fountain (100 oz) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My five cats love this fountain! No more trips to the sink to turn on the tap for my feline friends. It's much quieter than the Drinkwells I used to have. I bought two Catit fountains several months ago and I'm very impressed. They really do hold a lot of water. I only have to refill them once a week. Maintainence is a snap! Everything comes apart easily for a once-a-month cleaning (including the pump!)keeping them running smoothly and prevents mold and mineral deposits. The filters are easy to change and inexpensive.
The water flows quietly and smoothly over the dome, provided the fountain is on a level surface. At initial start-up and after refilling it may be necessary to "massage" the dome to break any "static cling" that would prevent smooth-flowing water. The one on the ceramic tile floor is a bit off-level so it doesn't flow as smoothly or as soundlessly as the one on the hardwood floor. But it's a LOT quieter than the Drinkwell fountains. A cushioned placemat underneath the fountains helps catch any kitty-spills and makes the fountains virtually sound-free! I like the bubble design and it doesn't take up much room. I'm very happy with this product.

Bergan Sporty-Pet Travel Food & Water (Colors Vary) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is perfect for short trips afield with my birddogs. The only drawback is the plug for the water jug. Can't buy spares? and there should have been some sort of lanyard attaching this to the container to prevent loss.

Petmate Fresh Flow Filter Refill Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)To my mind, there is little more annoying than when a company trots out an "upgrade" product that turns out to be much worse than the original.
These filters render the fountains UNUSABLE in my area (yes, 'tis likely different areas are prone to different microorganisms which may be handled more or less effectively by different products). I get algae sliming up the works within one or two days. God knows what kind of bacteria are thriving in commensal or symbiotic relationships with this algal slime...
I am back to running my faucets day-and-night because my cats will not drink out of bowls. They USED to love drinking out of the Pet Fountain, but will not use it for more than a day or two after it has been fully disassembled and cleaned with bleach.
A few quality control tests would have easily allowed the manufacturer to realize what we have all realized... this product is completely ineffective and a wretched down-grade from the previously-supported filter.
Whoever was involved in developing this product has brought ignominious disgrace upon a formerly beloved company...

Drinkwell with 50 Oz Reservoir Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First of all, I know that on the other versions of the fountain (with or without this extra reservoir) there were reviews stating that the fountain was noisy or that their cats would not drink from it. This was not my experience, the fountain runs pretty quietly you just need to make sure there is enough water in the bowl (enough to cover the little hole at the base of the bowl where filtration gets cycled through.)
You will need to give your pets time to adjust. My two kittens are 6 months old and they have always drank from a bowl. When I first hooked up the fountain they stuck their paws in and played a little, but mostly looked at it nervously for a couple days. I left their regular bowl next to it and noticed after a few days one cat started to prefer the fountain. After a week I took the regular bowl away at meal time and my other cat started to drink from the fountain. I think most cats will need a gradual change to this, don't expect them to like it overnight.
The bowl itself holds more water than both my cats need for 2 or 3 days. Getting a reservoir attachment wasn't needed, but I got one just so I could always feel secure they'd have plenty of water if something happened and I was away from home. This may be different with dogs, as I think they drink way more water.
***
The 50 oz. reservoir container was INSTANTLY KNOCKED OVER by my curious kitten. I had even tucked it by the wall in a position LESS likely to be knocked over... but this is designed so poorly that if your pet likes to jump over it or put their paw up on it, bam... falls over and empties a ton of water all over the floor! (Yes it was "secured" by the little plastic "latch" piece on the back, but it's very flimsy. Plus, there is no way to flip the reservoir over after you fill it without spilling at least a little bit of water.)
So, now I use the fountain by itself. I add a cup of water directly to the bowl at feeding time every day. It stays pretty clean, way cleaner than the old bowl, so I give it a good scrub about once a week. (Compared to the old bowl which was dirty daily.)
Unless you have a dog or need to be away from the house for more than a couple days, I'd just get the fountain without the reservoir container. Drinkwell Pet Fountain

Petmate Deluxe Fresh Flow Pet Fountain Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 4 cats love this fountain and they drink a lot more water now. Depending upon how you have the flow lever adjusted, the water stream can either be silent or a gentle trickle noise.
I have had 3 of these fountains in 3 years. The only problem I have had is with the pump. Like any water pump, the water level must be above the pump so the pump will not be damaged. I burnt out the first pump this way (shame on me). The second pump became severely clogged and stopped when one cat vomited grass into the dish while I was away (naughty kitty). The third pump dying is a mystery to me. It wasn't even a year old. Unfortunately, I just returned it today before reading one reviewer's directions on taking the pump apart for cleaning.
Even with the pump issue, I'll buy this product again. The cats love it, it is easy to clean, and fresh water is good for my cats' health. By the way, I can't imagine how some people are getting algae, etc., with this system. Basic cleaning is required of any food or water dish. The only part of this unit that cannot be cleaned with a sponge is a narrow plastic funnel that brings the water up to the fountain head. A Q-Tip works great for cleaning that.

Catit Fresh & Clear Drinking Fountain for Cats and Puppies Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had two of these now for a year. I purchased them despite the flurry of postings saying the pumps failed. I disected the pump on the #2 unit when it quit and have a solution for this issue. The pump is a Permanent magnet rotor with AC stator, so the only two things that can kill the pump is a broken winding (very unlikely as the assembly is potted) and the rotor/impellor binding up. The failures are likely due to salt build up as was the case with mine. Carefully prying the rotor\impellor out after unsnapping the covers they were soaked in distilled (aka "White") vinegar, a grocery store item. Soaked for 2 hours and then resaaembled after rinsing. Works fine! Now with the #1 unit I tried a different approach. I got a 6" deep container and stuck the pump in the bottom and filled the container 4" deep with the vinegar and plugged it in. Let it run for an hour. Pump came out sparkling clean! If the pump is siezed, one will have to pull the impellor assembly out and do the soak routine.

Petmate Ultra Bubbler Watering System, Medium, Peacock Blue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I first bought another brand of these called the Drinkwell. With the optional resevoir and cleaning kit and with shipping it cost me $70. The Drinkwell has a relatively loud pump noise that comes from under the bowl part which spooked the cats the first few days (ands drives me nuts so I have to unplug it at night even though it's three rooms away from my bedroom). but once they got over the noise, the cats loved it so much that I would have liked a second (I have multiple food/water stations) but the price made that impossible.
The other day I was at my local grocery store and they had this Bubbler for $14.99. I couldn't believe it and snatched one up.
Let me say, this one is not only considerably cheaper, but holds more water than the Drinkwell, is easier to clean than the Drinkwell and is quieter than the Drinkwell. I so regret spending that much money on the Drinkwell now.
The Bubbler air pump is not in the bowl, it connects to it by a hose so the little bit of noise from it is far enough away as to not spook the cats. The noise it does makes reminds me of those water fountains people put in their homes now, it's just the sound of air bubbles in water. There's only two pieces, the bowl and tank, and both go in my dishwasher.
The Drinkwell, has multiple parts, plus you have to clean the pump itself, and buying the cleaning kit is a must to get into the corners and angles that are all over the various pieces. Plus the Drinkwell uses filters which have to be changed. No filters in the Bubbler.
I take in strays and have 14 cats at the moment. I so wish I have found the Bubbler first so that I could have bought one for each feeding station I have rather than have spent so much on one Drinkwell.

Petmate Fresh Flow Replacement Pump, 110 V w/o flow valve Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This pump is the best ever! I found my bowl dry and the pump kaput, so I assumed I had damaged it. I began looking to buy a new one, and checked the PetMate website which said "PLEASE READ THE PUMP MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS BY CLICKING HERE. PLEASE FOLLOW THE PUMP CLEANING STEPS BEFORE CONTINUING." I followed the instructions and found that my impeller magnet was coated with minerals. I followed the instructions and it is now working perfectly!
