Drinkwell replacement filters, fit well and seem to work. Have to be honest that I haven't drunk any of my cat's water so can't comment on the flavor but he seems to like it :)

My cat loves this thing, but he likes to put his food into it then fish it out if he can. This gunks up the flow a bit and I have to clean out the whole contraption every two weeks or so. The filters are a decent price and you need them to keep the water at maximum freshness.

You don't NEED this filter, per se, but it makes the fountain last much longer between cleaning, and it's just better for the animals (yeah, I know, cats and dogs lick themselves, and drink water from swamps, why do they need filtered water?!). These filters work well, they're easy to clean (once or twice a month), and they work longer than they suggest.
Buy them in bulk online to reduce shipping charges, and these filters don't end up costing much at all.

We have had the Drinkwell Fountain for over 5 years. We looked everywhere for the replacement filters and had a really hard time finding them. Thank you Amazon for carrying these. They really do a good job of keeping the water from getting slimy and cutting down on the frequency of cleaning the fountain.

The filters are fine, just what I needed. The delivery was really fast.

I was a bit leary of ordering the replacement filters online, thinking it might not fit our model, but they were fine! Just as I can pick up at the pet store, only MUCH cheaper!

Quick delivery. Reasonable price. Item could not be found elsewhere for this price.

I bought the drinkwell for my cat and he does seem to like it better than a plain bowl. The fountain has filters. I used the filters that came with the bowl and everything seems okay. However, there was always black particles (like dust) in the bottom of the bowl. This required extra cleaning on my part. I tried to use the fountain without the filter but the bowl got slimey very quickly without the filter, so I ordered more filters and use them despite the black dust because it seems the black dust is better than slime.

This isn't an item that's worthy of a typical review. Either they work or not. I can tell you without these filters, the water is not near as clean. These filters pick up algae, food particles, hair, etc, hold on to it so as not to dump it back into the well for the animals to drink. The instructions say these should be replaced every 2-4 weeks but actually, they last much longer. Keep an eye on the filter and when it begins to get "gunky", it's time to replace it.

Drinkwell Original 2-Chamber Replacement Filters are a good filter. I've found if you rinse them in running water until they run clear they can be reused about two or three times, depending on your water quality.
These are designed for the Drinkwell Original Pet Fountain, and they do their job well.
