Pioneer Pet Replacement Filters for Ceramic & Stainless Steel Fountains, Raindrop Filters (3 filters)

To be honest, my cat has no idea it's fresh or clean. He spends most of his time outside drinking out of puddles so I doubt he cares at all. But you know what? As the owner of arguably the best looking cat in America, the piece of mind I get knowing that Boris is drinking filtered water and not tap water like those working class cats, is well worth the price of these filters. I assume they're doing something, but I'm not about to drink the same water as my cat.

I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to help increase the amount of water their pet drinks. It is an excellent system, very easy to clean, and stylish.It is not a replacement for good hygienic care of your pet's drinking bowl.We have 2 dogs (with long hair) and 3 cats. They all drink out of the Pioneer Pet Fountain.I have found that the fountains filters last longer than advertised. I use reverse osmosis filtered water. However, I do clean the fountain completely every 2 to 3 days. It is a very easy system to maintain so this is hardly much more effort than washing a bowl. That is the real advantage of this system besides its good looks.The point of the fountain is to encourage the animals to drink more water. This it has done very well with all of our pets. It is not necessarily to simplify the pet keepers life by not having to clean a drinking bowl. The filters are to help remove particulates from the water and help prolong the life of the pump. The water still needs to be replaced regularly to be kept fresh.Pur or Brita type filters only filter primarily for what humans can taste. Those filters do not actually purify the water so various bacteria etc will still be present in the water. Once those filters remove much of the chlorine, the water left to sit will often become slimy as there is no longer adequate chlorine to keep it sanitary.

These are the real deal and are very long lasting. We, stretch ours to the limit by using bottled water in our Pioneer Teardrop fountain since our cat has, serious bladder disease and needs to drink a lot of fresh water. We keep the bowl in a high traffic area, so there are definitely things getting kicked up into the water like lint and dirt particles and these filters are small, compact, no charcoal mess, and really do a fabulous job of keeping the water in the teardrop fountain as clear as larger/higher priced filters.We can easily use them for 6 weeks... often stretching it longer because the water is still clear and the pump running well without any real gunk when we take the motor apart to clean it periodically. Just open the package, run the filter under cold water for a minute, and snap it into the slot and you're ready to go. A great filtration system with affordable filters! *Check out the photo... there's water in that reservoir and it's, so clear, it looks empty! *

Like this product and fits our water fountain.

These filter out whatever my dogs put in the bowl during the day. Hair, pieces of grass, drool, etc. I do wish they lasted longer but I understand that's circumstantial since my pets are plentiful and messy. Good value.

Replacement filter for cat water fountain

They do a nice job of keeping the water as clean as possible.

After 2 weeks, my cats' drinking fountain was starting to make a noise, so I knew it was time to change the water filter. But instead of throwing the used one out, I washed it in my dishwasher on the regular cycle, which lasts about one hour. It came out looking as good as new. I don't recommend doing this repeatedly, but I am confident this filter is made well enough that it does not need to be tossed after just 2 weeks.
