I'm glad I found this video. My wife threw the box and instruction away. I had all these pieces laid out and didn't know what was going on. This video helped out a lot!
"Cat approved." lol Good enough for me. Thanks -- answered some of the questions I had about this. Especially the motor noise.
Thank you so much for this wonderful video! We just got this fountain, and our cats love it. (We replaced a smaller plastic pet fountain that they liked but broke the second time we cleaned it, and we find the ease of use, volume of water, optional number of drinking spouts/locations, and noise level to be far superior to our previous fountain.)
Since we've only had this a week, and my husband put it together so he could be the cat hero, I didn't know how to assemble it or clean it yet myself. When some trash accidentally fell in it, I immediately snatched up the fountain, dumped out the water, and cleaned the fountain and filter, much to the displeasure of the cats who let me know in no uncertain terms they did not appreciate my appropriation of their latest offering. After reading through the instructions several times (it seemed too easy after our last one), I put the fountain back in place, filled it with water, and reassured the cats that all was well in their world. Unfortunately, the fountain just kind of gurgled while they tried repeatedly to sip from the streams that weren't there. Oh, the looks! The tail swishing! Their displeasure was palpable.
It was louder than I had remembered it being the day before, and there was no water streaming. I thought maybe it had to fill up internally (our previously pet fountain required that) so I waited a few minutes, sweating through the indignant cat stares. Alas, the water was just bubbling gently on the bottom, taunting me with its movement. The cats were not impressed with my performance and continued to quietly berate me. Great, I've broken another filter by rinsing it with water! Argh!
Before giving in to despair, I thought I'd look for some reviews or videos or step-by-step instructions on assembly in case I'd messed something up by moving it 10 feet to the sink. The manufacturer's website was terrible. Your video clearly showed that the filter assembly had to be aligned with the intake tube, and the two would connect solidly together, which had not been as clear in the printed directions. During the cleaning process, the intake tube had gotten slightly off center. (Upon rereading the instructions, it is there, but I think my anxiety on being the hated cat parent - again - blinded me to the printed word.)
So thank you very much for your wonderful review that not only discusses how amazingly quiet this generous fountain is, but also goes step-by-step through the assembly process. The cats are still not happy with me, but I'm no longer imagining death threats.
+peggyblah Aplogies for the delayed response - as we had issues getting these comments...but I am SO glad our video helped you! Sounds like you saved the day as well...I think there are 2 heroes in your family! =^..^=
Thank you so much! I just bought this water fountain and got stuck in the part of how to put the water filter. This video helped me twice!!! With the reviews and the instructions to ensamble the water fountain! :)
Thank-you! The only issue not addressed, but I figured it out, is to place the pump so that its black vertical tube sticks up from the middle of the pan so that the wider black tube will line up and attach to it.
Thank so much for this excellent review! Now that I saw how it assembles and where all the parts go, I know I want this one for my 2 cats and 4 small dogs. 👏
+Mush So glad you like the video and it was able to help you! I hope the animals all approve. :)
Thank you so much for this video. The instructions are horrible that come with the unit. Your video allowed me to set this up in minutes! My kitty is still checking it out.
Thanks. You helped me find the min and max water level lines. I have a cat who looks exactly like yours!
great video. I ordered this fountain last month and have been staring at the box lol. I will put it together tomorrow morning
+asherdash12 so glad you enjoyed the video! Hopefully you put it together easily and that the pets approve! :)
Awesome in-service on the fountain thank you very much I just got mine but I'll wait until the weekend to put it together so I could safely Monitor it for the recommended 12 hours as per manual. Also the mat I bought for it it's a little small to fit the fountain so I have to go exchange it for a larger one thanks again.
+Michaelangelo Colon Thanks for your comment! Did you get it set-up? How is it working out? I hope you (and your kitties) are enjoying it! =^..^=
+Puutty Power it's working well and my kitties love it very much I'm so happy I bought it 😬 What a great investment 👍🏼👍🏼 Question if I use filtered water from my Britta do I still need to use the charcoal filter that goes inside the fountain?
Michaelangelo Colon sop glad that you and your kitties like it! And, I'm not sure if I can say definitively that you don't have to use the charcoal filter, but if the Britta filer takes out most of the contaminants then you probably don't need it as much if you were using regular tap water. However, doesn't hurt to have double protection and would be less likely to change it out as regularly. =^..^=
+Puutty Power Thank you very much for your helpful input 🐾🐾🐾
Thanks for this video..I just purchased two fountains for my cats and dogs❤❤...they will enjoy this gift😄
+Crystal Lyn Johnson So glad this video helped you! Hopefully the animals approve. :)
Thank you for making this video very helpful and informative
Great review and thank you for contributing your input to this product as I result this is one of the reason I purchased this particular water fountain for my pets. I hope my added experience may be of help to someone else. I purchased the Drinkwell Platinum first to making things more helpful for my care attendants to help me with the care of my pets as I'm physically challenged. I was happy with its' performance it worked very well and my 5 cats all drank from it. Every 2-3 days we replenished the water bottle reservoir ... however after having it for a few months I saw it was a bit awkward and cumbersome for my attendants to manipulate and clean without too much effort (too many nooks and crannies to get into to clean properly). I also wasn't too thrilled with its' over all fountain design ... the bowl is too small, the stationary fountain is centered which when the cats/dogs drink from the bowl makes the water coming down from it go onto/into the animals ear so this became a concern of mine for them. Also the water bottle reservoir is a bit too difficult for a disabled/elderly person to manipulate (removing/replacing), and then there's the cleaning limitations if you are disabled and/or elderly as stated above: too many nooks and crannies to clean hygienically/properly without the aid of a dishwasher. Then with the plastic issue and pet skin irritants, I became even more concerned for the hygienic issues (the best way to wash plastic is through a dishwasher which I don't have). I decided to purchase the stainless steel Drinkwell 360 and the design is perfect ... with the different fountain tops (they send 5 different fountain tops - I use the single flow) I 'm able to position the 360 top where the cats can drink comfortably from either the big bowl or the fountain with out any water going on/in their ear(s) unless they themselves want to get wet. The bowl needs to be refilled daily (remember I have 5 cats) and is extremely simply, just add cold tap water with a container to the bowl itself, with less pets refills are less often. It's far easier to clean too and my cats are more content. I do need to add this final note: no matter which fountain you decide on please keep in mind my particular set of circumstances are only due to my physical limitations, the Drinkwell Fountain line are very good products over all. I wish you and your pet(s) much joy and health. GOD bless you. Peace and Agape.
Thank you for your comment! Really appreciate your insight as it will help many others as well. So happy that the 360 worked out for you - it is a great product! :)
I bought a plastic water fountain and the dog loved it, but it was a rubbish one and leaked and so noisy! So it has gone back for refund and I am looking again. I have a Mini Schnauzer, he is on a special diet and needs to drink filtered water anyway and the water gets so dirty from his beard. I also buy raised dog bowls so the dogs don't hurt their neck or back, and my concern with this one is the height of it, although every other feature sounds perfect. The previous fountain was higher I think than this one. Do you have higher bowls (or maybe the dogs would drink from the streams not the bowl)?
Very nice review. I appreciate how you took your time to point out the details.
Thank you - glad you enjoyed it! =^..^=
excellent video! I was debating about buying one as I have two cats that bug the heck out of me wanting the taps turned on just a trickle. This is the one. Thanks so much.
+kate baxter Thank you for your comment - so glad the video was able to help you! Hopefully your cats approve! =^..^=
Maybe you should make a new video showing the prefilter being installed around the pump. I would think that you would have stressed the use of the prefilter as it is probably a crucial part of protecting the life of the fountain pump. It undoubtably prevents large debris such as cat hair, lint or whatever crud might get into your pet's water from entering the pump, which has very small inner plastic components which can easily become damaged, clogged or stuck if foreign matter gets inside of the housing. The prefilter protects the pump while the charcoal filter makes the water smell & taste good. Prefilter protects the pet owner from aggravation & unneeded replacement costs while the charcoal one protects the health of your pet.
+WatchingMyLifeFlashB Thank you for your comment and excellent suggestion! It would be helpful to have included that. =^..^=
Thank you! Very helpful. Buying one right now!
Meg Fox Awesome - glad it helped! Check out www.PuuttyPower.com for all your kitty needs! =^..^=
A few questions. Our one female cat - feral brother and sister Bombay kitties - learned how to destroy the catit flower fountain. She's quite the little scientist, loves conducting experiments and research. She would love to find the waters source at any cost. How sturdy are those clips? Could they easily be pried off by little kitty paws. Is the base sturdy enough to not tip over when she's balanced on the very top pawing at the water trickles?
I loved this review! I'm getting one,😊 your cat at the end was so cute.
Kristina Collette So glad you liked it. Hip-Hop thanks you too! =^..^=
Thanks for this review! It motivated me to purchase it. My cats definitely have a bit of cat acne, and I hope getting rid of the plastic fountain will do the trick :)
wonderful video, thinking of getting this for my 3 ferrets :)
We typically clean this fountain out monthly - but depending on the number of cats that you have, you may need to clean it more or less often. Also, when the fountain gets a little clogged (fur, dust, etc), the water will not come out as powerful and will slow the stream down quite a bit. So, then our cats are not as drawn to it and will not drink as much - which is a flag to tell us that we need to clean it out! We change the filter each time we clean it. =^..^=
Its bloody huge. I was thinking of getting this for my two maltese but its waaay too big for something I would want tucked away in the kitchen. I hope they can come up with one half the size.
Thanks for answering my questions! :) I also just wondered if you HAVE to run it with the included filter (not the prefilter). I have heard the instructions state that the filter is optional. I can see the prefilter would be useful for hair and dust, but what if one is using distilled water? Is the carbon filter necessary? Have you tried running without the filter? Thanks!
I noticed you had a gallon jug to fill it with water. I wanted to ask, is it better to use distilled water, spring water, or tap water for cats and especially for kittens. I just ordered one of the fountains. Your video helped me to have some idea how to put it all together once it gets here. I'm trying to get my kittens only using stainless steel instead of the plastic stuff that I used in the past. I'm trying my best to get the best I can for them. I keep hearing different opinions on the difference between tap water, spring water, and distilled water.
Great video, btw. Very easy to understand. Thank you for making it.
Brandywine6969 Thank you for the comment! In answer to your question I would either use tap or bottled water for the fountain. I would not recommend distilled since it's still a debatable issue for humans to drink long term - I would think it would be the same for cats and dogs. Plus they may not like the taste of it! As long as your local tap water is good - I think that would be fine. We use bottled water for us and our kitties. I'm glad you liked the video...hopefully the kittens will take to the new stainless steel fountain! =^..^=
@USRefugee: Good question! Actually, feline acne is usually a skin irritation by direct contact with plastic materials. So, even though it has some plastic components, unless kitty is rubbing its chin against the plastic spout on top, it should not be a problem. Since the spout directs water away from the spout, it is less likely that a kitty would be doing that. The bowl edge is most likely the location where cats will rub their skin/fur against and that is the area that is all stainless. :)
@ezscrewing: I agree - the plastic isn't nearly as good as the stainless. Plus, plastic has been known to cause kitty acne...so yet another reason why this version is better. Puutty Power doesn't sell the plastic version and only this one instead. Thanks for your comment! =^_^=
Thanks for the review, I'm sold! Great work.
Thank you! So glad you liked it and that it was helpful for you! =^..^=
Just received this today and the instructions were in German, so I had no clue how to set it up. Thank you so much!
I have 5 cats and a small dog. Only 2 of the cats will use the fountain. I just changed the spout from 2 to 4. A great video because the spout assembly is not user friendly thus the need for this video. I have had this for over a month. Initially, I removed the water bowls. That did not work. Any ideas? The cats that won't use the fountain are 11, 11, and 2. The dog is 11.
Something I learned from firefighting; there's a term, offgasing, that can relate to plastics. Basically, if you can smell a plastic smell coming off the item, it's offgasing & that is harmful, with regular use.
Offgasing plastics are cheaper & are found in a lot of clear plastics, so if your not sure, give it a waft/ gentle sniff.
I never thought plastic cat water fountains could offgas or give the poor things acne, but it makes sense.
Great review and instructional video! Buying mine as we speak! A +
You say the filer is suppose to line up with pump? Is the tube support go inside of the filter. I have trying to get the fountain to work. The pump is working but no water is coming through the filter. What an i doing wrong?
Hey, nice video... I see it's been up for a couple years, but because of this video, I'm going to buy this fountain for my kitty-cat. Thanks!! She used to drink dripping (leaking) water in the bathtub, but after finally replacing the washers and seats in the faucet, it doesn't leak, so she's not drinking as much! I don't want to find out after the fact that she has an allergy to plastic, so we'll just go straight to stainless now. :-)
Are the plastic spout attachments BPA free? I'm wanting to ditch plastic pet bowls altogether, and this one caught my eye, but I noticed there are plastic attachments which is what I'm trying to avoid.
yes, BPA free
How do you remove the cord clips? I can't budge them
How did you remove the cord clips without breaking them?
On page 5 of the instructions, steps 1 -3 address taking part of the pump apart to “use a fingernail to pull out the impeller, which is held in place magnetically.” I’m not finding any videos like this one addressing that step. Can I get some accurate feedback on that?
I completely understand. It does take the smaller animals to "lean in" more to the water fountain part in order to get to it. Excellent point - thank you for commenting! =^..^=
Can you please do a review of the Drinkwell Lotus? I have heard reports of it leaking and of a mysterious plumbing replacement kit that is hard to order to repair it. The pluses are that it is ceramic, looks nice, and is a smaller fountain for those of us looking for a small fountain. It does have some plastic in the center. Thanks!
Nope! The wire is sealed in rubber protective tubing and will not be dangerous as long as it does not rip/tear or otherwise become exposed. This is pretty much the same as all other water fountains as the pump needs to be submerged in water for them to work. It's fairly thick, so it should withstand a good deal of wear & tare. We have had ours for over 3 years and it still works great. The cats don't seem to mess with it. Thanks for your great question! =^..^=
I just bought one and put it together just like this but the top is loose where it looks tight in this one. To change the flow I have to.hold it still to turn the adjustment. What gives?
Excellent comment - thank you! And you are correct, if the water runs low, you will a low buzzing sound coming from the motor which is no good. Thank you again - so glad that your pets are using it so much! =^..^=
Great review, thanks for sharing! Very Helpful!
Love this, but after a few months of use the water barely trickles out. Have cleaned it and reassembled many times but cannot fix this.
Jillian Dunaway Great comment - it may be the motor in the pump that is not pumping at the right capacity. Have you contacted the manufacturer to see if they can get you a replacement? Three months is way too quick!
Hello - We do not sell the Drinkwell Lotus...but will look into it and see about getting it! Thank you for the suggestion! =^..^=
do you have to add the "top component" or can you leave that off?
Hello - no you do need the "top component" - it is a cover that just prevents anything from flying into the water spout. =^..^=
i'm wondering if you leave the pump on 24/7 or if it gets turned off at night.
Hello - yes, the plastic version does hold up a long time, however the stainless steel version is an excellent option for kitties that develop feline acne and other skin irritations from plastic materials. Thank you for your comment! =^..^=
I wish that the width from fountain "cone" to outer "rim" was wider. :/ I wanted to get this fountain, but I don't think my cute little "smushy-face" Shih Tzu is going to be able to lap up any water without getting herself drenched. She's so picky about the width of her dishes -- they have to be wide, yet shallow. ugh lol
I believe that they make 2 porcelain fountain models (Pagoda and Avalon) -- I'm hoping those might have wider basins.
Great review!!
I was wondering if you Noticed the water becomeing warm due to the pump being submerged into it ? Im thinking of getting this for my cat... that makes me run tap water for her to drink -_-" but yeah lol Im wondering about the consistance temprature also you mention Cat acne, are the plastic components approved to conform with this also or is the Plastic parts a pain in the ass? Cleaning , Calcium buildup, are they built to last?
Hello! We have not experienced the water heating up beyond room temperature with our fountain. We have had it for over 8 years and it still works great. Cat acne can arise from kitties rubbing their skin on the plastic - so, as long as they drink from the stream or bowl part - they should be fine. We used to have a plastic cup and one of our kitties would develop acne from drinking from it since she would rub her chin on it while drinking. No problems now that she drinks from the stream with the fountain. I don't experience any calcium build-up, but you do have to wash it since it can get grimey after a while + fur or food pellets getting in there! Not that much of a pain...it can go rather quickly. I think the hardest part is just sitting down to do it...in that way, it's like the gym. You put off going and avoid it, but once you are there you are fine. ;) Thank you for your comment - you can purchase the fountain at www.PuuttyPower.com as well as other retailers...good luck! =^..^=
+Puutty Power excellent , I had ordered one of theses and received it today , my cat doesn't seem bothered by the pump sound but I have yet to see her drink from it
Viper4kPlayground hopefully she has started drinking by now! It will take a little getting used to, but hopefully she will adjust to it. :) =^..^=
Unfortunatly i havent seen her take a drink yet..... but shes not acting like shes suffering dehydration.... so i will keep a close eye on her since it is being forced on her to be her only water source, if she starts to look sick or stopped eating ill give in and turn on the tap for her
I hope that now that it;s been a week you have seen her use the new fountain!
I bought the drinkwell 360 today and installed it exactly as you did in this video. After I plugged it in, it worked for one minute but suddenly the pump stopped... I bought it from US, but I live in Norway. Therefore I must use an adapter "from US to Europe". Is that why the pump stopped???
One more question: Now that you have had this fountain for awhile with your kitties, how often do you find that you clean the fountain itself, change the filter, change the pre-filter? I assume you change the water every time you clean the fountain. Just wondering how much maintenance is involved. Thanks!
When do I have to change the water?
Is the cord always situated around the fountain? Then my cats will probably first choose chewing it instead of drinking water.
OMG! All of them I checked works through cords! 😔
Gözde E. How else do you plan to supply the pump with electricity; batteries?
Looks like a pain in the rear to put together and take apart for cleaning every day. And then what about the cleaning?. I've seen the kit. The cleaning looks like it will be a headache, too. Your presentation was very good, however. Thank you.
Do you get the pre-filter with this fountain or do you have to buy it separately? Thanks!
Hello! Great question! Yes, there is one (1) pre-filter that comes with the fountain. Additional filters can be purchased separately. =^..^=
Wonderful video, thank you so much!
where is this from i need 1
Thank you!!! Excellent review. :-)
Thanks! So glad you liked it! =^..^=
Thank you! A big help assembling!
Yes! Large dogs can use this too - although you may need to fill it up more often. If anything, this is actually better for larger dogs as the stream is a bit too far for the smaller dogs to get to. :)
The water that I use is already purified , would I still have to use the filter?
The filter cleans the dirt out of the water while it is in use. Many cats like the fresh bowl of water we once used but the minute too many pets start drinking out of it it gets dirty and they do not want it any more. The filter is essential to keeping the water clean.
These work well but are a pain to keep clean and they catch debris and hair like crazy, especially if you have multiple cats. For no more than the steep price, they should include a stainless steel screen cover for that. My cats never drink from the bowl anyway, only from the spout. I am going to see about making one for mine, maybe out of a splatter screen or the likes.
You forgot to put the filter around the pump.
Many thanks for the infos
Thanks! This was so helpful!
I need help i can't decide if i should get this or the Drinkwell platinum?
Apologize for the delay in this response! I would say it depends on your cat. If you cat likes drinking from a faucet, then the Platinum maybe better since the stream is similar to a faucet in that regard. As you can tell from this review - the bowl part of the 360 is deeper and your kitty will have to extend their neck further to get to the stream. Hope that helps! Thank you for your comment. =^..^=
I wish I saw your question earlier than this .... I purchased the Drinkwell Platinum first for making things more helpful for my care attendants to help me with the care of my pets as I'm physically challenged. I was happy with its' performance it worked very well and my 5 cats all drank from it. Every 2-3 days we replenished the water bottle reservoir ... however after having it for a few months I saw it was a bit awkward and cumbersome for my attendants to manipulate and clean without too much effort (too many nooks and crannies to get into to clean properly).

The bowl needs to be refilled daily (I do have 5 cats) and is extremely simple, just add cold tap water with a container (up to the maximum line) to the bowl itself, and with less pets refills are less often. It's far easier to clean and maintain hygiene with the stainless steel also, and my cats are more content. I do need to add this final note: no matter which fountain you decide to purchase, please keep in mind my particular circumstances are due to my physical limitation only, the entire Drinkwell Fountain line are each very good products over all. I wish you and your pet(s) much joy and health. I hope this has been of help to you or others who may read this review. GOD bless you. Peace and Agape.
netta2158 Thank you for your comment! I believe your insight and experience will be helpful to many others that have some physical limitations as the Drinkwell Platinum is a bit large. I'm glad that the 360 worked out for you! =^..^=
is this good for large dogs?
is it easy/quick to clean? how often does it need cleaned?
+Cort Cort we clean ours out every 3-4 weeks. However we may do it more so depending on if we see any food or fur floating in there! It's fairly easy to clean - just remove the pieces and wash. Should be dishwasher safe even! =^..^=
+Puutty Power thank u!
Question, where does that oddly shaped white, sponge like object go/what is its purpose?
I got one in my box, no Idea at all.
+NovaPrime1869 Great question! The "sponge" piece goes over and wraps around the pump. It acts as a filter to prevent fur, food, etc. from getting into the motor. Thank you for asking as I'm sure others may have had the same question! =^..^=
ahh, thank you for the response, very much appreciated.
NovaPrime1869 you're more than welcome! :)
Y'know... the one I have just doesn't work all that well... or put together so easily. I am thoroughly frustrated with it. Currently it is kind of drooling out one spout and on the other side the water is oozing out of the point where the black plastic meets the stainless steel. It was never "as advertised" from the start and has done nothing but get worse. (And, yes, it is cleaned and the filters changed regularly.)
This morning I am just this side of taking a sledge hammer to it.
Agreed! Thank you for your comment! =^..^=
Thank you miss for the review
Thank you for commenting - glad you enjoyed it! =^..^=
So helpful. Thank you!!
Chad Mercer Glad you liked it! =^..^=
isnt that dangerous ..that the wire will be in there with the water?
Thank you for watching & commenting! We are happy that this was helpful to you! =^..^=
I want something like this for a dog, but I found it dangerous since you have to plug it to any electricity source, does anyone know a good stainless steel alternative?
Thank you for your comment! It don't believe it to be dangerous - it is low voltage and the wires are covered in plastic which grounds the electrical current. We have had ours for 8 years with no issues. I have not heard of any issues with electrocution with these types of fountains (there are a couple stainless versions) and feel that if there were, a massive recall would have had to be made. I think if you want a circulating water type of fountain, there will be a pump which requires an energy source of some kind to power it. :/ I hope you can find an alternative - and if you do, let us know! =^..^=
how do you change the spout rings
+Robbie Fitzpatrick Good question! You pop off the top of the water pump piece and just twist off the spout ring. You can see how I put one on @3:20 mark in the video. Thank you again for your question! =^..^=
Hello! Looks like we missed this comment - so sorry it took so long to respond! The answer to your question is no, you do not "need" the filter but it is useful in getting some of the extra contaminates out of the water for your pets. We have not tried using it without the filter and we actually use bottled water for this with them...personal choice. It definitely can be run without it so it would be your call if you think you need it or not! =^..^=
How much is it? :)
Awesome! I'm so glad this was able to help you! =^..^=
Hello! So sorry for not replying sooner...it must have gotten lost in our inbox. :( The fountain costs $99.99 (USD) and is sold on our website PuuttyPower[.]com. If you sign-up for promotions, then you will get emailed promotional coupon codes for 10-15% every couple of months. We don't spam nor sell your address. We send out about 10 emails a year with new product updates and discount codes. Thank you again for your comment! =^..^=
Awesome - so glad your kitty loves it! =^..^=
Unfortunately, my 4 yr old wont leave the cats water fountain alone, so its back to the old stale water.
@BlueFlameWolf: Great! I'm sure they would love it as much as our cats do! :)
The top part that the water flows from is plastic tho, and that's the part that most cats will be drinking from. Other then that i like it
+SAMMIsLIFE Glad that you like the fountain...and yes, since it is plastic I hope your kitties are drinking more from the stream than the actual spout itself. Thank you fory our comment! =^..^=
Pump is underpowered for this fountain size and therefore often stalls. It is easy enough to restart the pump with your finger but it requires the hassle of disassembling the fountain. Apparently I am not the only one with this problem as the replacement pumps are completely out of stock everywhere online that I look. I would not buy this product again. I expected some quality for the price.
@xfxrxexexdxoxmx: We use approximately a half a gallon to fill it up the first time, and then you add water as they drink and it goes down. We clean it out at least once a month to remove fur/food that gets in there. =^_^=
Anyone have a large dog use it? I am mostly looking for a good stainless water fountain for a large floppy mouth dog.
I get the feeling the plastic version would age better
But, the power cord runs under water! If that cord wears out that whole bowl becomes electrified! I liked it until now!
+Robert Sitter Hello and thank you for your comment! Actually, the cord is plastic coating the electrical wire. If you have a "chewer" this could be a problem so always inspect the wire to see if there are any frayed edges or chewed parts. We have had our fountain for over 5 years and it has never worn out. Our cat Hip-Hop is a chewer but he has never tried the cords for the water fountains (we have two - this one and the Drinkwell Platinum). =^..^=
+Robert Sitter its plastic covered.
think, do you really think they would push out a product that posed such a ridiculously high hazard/risk?
if theres one thing that kills business its hazards to children, infants & pets.
Mines showing rust after one week of use. What the f
Gerry Attrik - I've heard that they do that. I would also guess that you would be refilling this incessantly.
Refilling incessantly no... but rusting yes.
What’s a better option if plastic is out of the question?
Gerry Attrik- ceramic. But the ones I've seen worth anything are ugly and grossly expensive. I have the Drinkwell platinum, which is plastic and I was wanting to go 'cleaner'. I just take it apart and throw in my dishwasher but it takes up so much space in the dishwasher.
Amy Smith I don’t mind the space it would take up. But I’ve heard bad things about cats and plastic 🤷🏼♀️
Gerry Attrik - You might talk to Drinkwell about your rust problem. They might replace yours since it is so new. Mine is half the price of your stainless and I've had it over 10 yes. I can't decide what to replace it with. I wish they made mine in a ceramic.
Hello - I'm sorry that your fountain is not functioning. It could be the adapter but I'm not sure why it would work and then stop? We will contact the manufacturer to see if they have any suggestions. Please email us at cservice@puuttypower[.]com so we can send you an answer once we receive it! =^..^=
bought the plastic 360 and it was a poor set up.. the pump quit after two days, but for some reason a week later it started up just fine..... and it was designed to leak... This stainless one is a better looking set up... there's no way for the water to leak out on this stainless one.. but that plastic 360 is a complete waste of cash don't buy it..
Absolutely useless videot for attaching the clips. I can get one set up for the cord. But the other two clips won't attach, they pop off one ar a time
Horrible water sound
I don't understand why the stainless steel version has clips and the plastic one doesn't... I was going to buy this one but the clips were just too ugly and looked bulky and in the way...
BabeDollB I agree. I was thinking that maybe you could get by with using just one strap.
I have the plastic one, the upper part is clicked into a system that keeps it in place. I don't like the black plastic clips either. they destroy the Stainless shiny look. Probably you can just use 2, one each opposite side.
