Did you know you can buy replacement motors for $14.35 from Petmate?Originally Posted by JennyAnnieDots
We have a Petmate one, and the cats love it. It needs to be cleaned weekly, and we have to replace it about once a year when the motor burns out. But for $30, it's worth it for cats that refuse to drink anything but running water.
I cannot tell you how many times I will get home from work and find a toy in the fountain.
Yes, using filtered water is great. Our new kitten wasn't sure about the water we gave him, and when we dumped it out and replaced it with water from the Brita pitcher, he started slurping it right up.Originally Posted by Zissou'sMom
I have a petmate one. I recently realized the filter is more of a problem than a solution, so I took it out and started using filtered water to begin with, just changing it more often. Zissou seems happier, it stays cleaner, and the water's still filtered.
So that's my advice.
By the time I ordered one, paid duty, taxes and custom charges, I could probably buy a whole new fountain.Originally Posted by mschauer
