Developed by a veterinarian, the Drinkwell 360 Stainless Steel Pet Fountain provides 128 oz (1 gal) of fresh, filtered water to your pet. Multiple free-falling streams of water entice your pet to drink more and continually aerate the water with healthful oxygen. A charcoal filter removes bad tastes and odors, giving your pet the best way to stay hydrated. The 360's multiple streams and circular design allows pets to drink from any angle and is great for multiple pet households. Stainless steel is the #1 material recommended by vets for the most hygienic pet dishes.

Animals love running water

The entire Drinkwell Pet Fountain line filters and aerates continuously moving water, keeping it much fresher than standing bowl water. It satisfies a pet’s urge for running water and provides peace-of-mind to pet owners who know their pets have a good supply of clean water. The fountain’s continual recirculation of the water helps reduce saliva found in the bowl and inhibits bacteria growth as well.

Support Your Pet's Health

Drinkwell Pet Fountains are veterinarian designed and recommended by vet urinary specialists, and are especially beneficial for pets with kidney or urinary tract disease.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic water fountain for you cat and a conversation piece to boot! November 20, 2009

I have been shopping for a new watering set up for my new Maine Coon cat who adores water! I came across this the day it was released. It was similar to the plastic model but it looked like it had a stainless steel insert. I had a bit of an issue with the price but I ordered it anyway. I got it the very next day and was I surprised! The dish is 100% stainless steel! The quality is top notch! I use the ring (the few plastic parts it has) with a 3 spout. My Mokie LOVES it! If he had opposable thumbs he would give it a 2 thumbs up rating, so I guess it is a 2 dew claw rating for now from him and a 2 thumbs up from dad. It runs quiet, noisier if you want it to and adjust the volume of the water high. It is attractive, functional and I am proud to have it out in full view when people come over since it doesn't look like a cheap cat fountain. I love this and am VERY glad I went ahead and spent the extra on the stainless model for both aesthetic reasons and for the health reasons for Mokie since stainless resists bacterial growth better than plastic.

2 PAWS UP, way up!

3.0 out of 5 stars Pros and Cons February 15, 2012

By I. Peters TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

For years we had been using two of the Drinkwell Original Pet Fountain but when the water reservoirs a house guest had accidentally placed in the dishwasher had come out deformed, we took the plunge to upgrade to two of the 360 stainless steel models - also because we were concerned about the plastic materials, like so many reviewers here were.

So here are our thoughts on the 360 Stainless model (in no particular order):

PROs:
1. Large capacity is ideal for multi-pet households
2. Relatively easy to put together and clean - much easier anyway than the plastic Original Pet Fountain. Cleaning the latter was a time-consuming production we soon came to dread...
3. As other reviewers have stated, this fountain is nice and quiet.
4. The soft filters of the original model have been replaced with small cylindrical filters reminiscent of the ones used in Pur or Brita water pitchers. MUCH nicer and somehow feels more hygienic, too (even thought that's likely an illusion ;-))

CONs:
1. I am not too fond of the look. Those large black plastic clips that keep the center of the fountain in place do not appeal to me at all. This looks a lot better in the picture than in reality.
2. The actual "basin" space is not all that wide from rim to fountain. One of our cats initially had a really hard time with lapping up the water because of that. The space is significantly shorter than on the original model. We saw him on numerous occasions just dunking in his paw and licking the water off of it instead of drinking straight from the fountain, although he attempted it. It is slowly getting better but if he could talk, he'd probably tell us that he wants his old fountain back...
3. Despite the larger water capacity this fountain requires more frequent refills than the original model (when the extra reservoir is attached). I believe this is because the open water surface is much bigger, which in turn leads to much faster evaporation.
4. The marks for "min." and "max." water levels are as close to invisible as is possible. They are tiny and virtually disappear against the shiny stainless steel, especially when considering that the fountain is sitting on the floor. It might have helped to make the marks a lot bigger and use brushed stainless steel instead of the shiny variety, I am not sure. We are basically half lying on the floor every other day to check whether the levels are still sufficient.

SUMMARY:
In terms of material and the cleaning process this fountain is definitely a step up from the plastic Drinkwell Fountain we had been using in the past. But there is also still room for improvement here, both regarding functionality, design and looks. We do like it better than the previous model but are not over the moon with it either. So still waiting for the perfect stainless steel pet fountain to come along :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars The kitties are all loving their new fountain, and so am I! June 17, 2011

Well, I have had almost every type of Drinkwell fountain made. Personally I really like the 360 design the best for cleaning. And now in stainless steel it cleans up even faster, and better too. I noticed that even with the high quality of the plastic they used on the original version, it began to feel somewhat etched after a while and was not as smooth as when I first bought it. Made it difficult to tell if it was really squeaky clean or not when servicing it. But the stainless is great. No chance of it getting etched or worn at all. And boy, this one is absolutely silent if you wish. You can increase the water flow if you like which does then make the waterfall noise, which most people find a pleasant sound anyway. But I like being able to make it fully silent at times on the lowest setting. It is tough to see the water level marks printed on the fountain now because of how shiny the stainless steel background is. But it isn't really hard to tell when it needs to be topped off just by a glance once you get familiar with it.

After reading most of the reviews here before I bought the stainless version, I was a little leery of the clips that hold the two main pieces together. But I have had no problem at all snapping them off and back on. I just use my thumb on the bottom to pull them slightly outwards and they just pop off. And they do somewhat click into place on the bottom, so I have had no trouble with mine. I did order more in case they break, as well as some of the additional pump filters because that seemed like a good idea to me. I added one extra clip to my fountain so now I have 4 on instead of 3, but I just did it because I think it looks nicer, more symmetrical. This fountain really is very pretty.

The only thing I dislike about either 360 version is that despite the pretty large width of the entire unit, the bowl part of the fountain is somewhat narrow. Because of this the kitties heads are almost pressing against the cone shaped middle piece if they try to drink out of the bowl portion, rather than from the flowing waterfall, and some kitties do prefer a bowl of water to a running waterfall. Still everyone seems to be getting enough water so I think they are ok with it.

Other people mentioned it is hard to line it back up during re-assembly. I just look down through the empty filter housing piece to make sure it lands on top of the intake tube that is sticking up from the pump and push it into place and then continue putting in the charcoal filter and the other pieces after that is done. It has been very simple doing it that way.

I bought the reusable refillable charcoal filter by Forever Filter, also available on Amazon, and so far feel it is a quality product. I like not contributing to the landfills by constantly disposing of the other plastic ones. And it will pay for itself after 5-6 months. Overall a great fountain. I was very pleased. Now I have to get one for my sister's kitties. Maybe for Christmas!
