Product Description
Product Description
Many cats and dogs do not drink as much water as they should. By not drinking enough water, your pet's urine may become concentrated and may lead to urinary tract disease, dehydration, constipation and/or kidney disease. Cats with urinary tract or kidney disease, in particular, have a critical need for water to support kidney function and to inhibit crystal formation and other obstructions. Clean and filtered water entices pets to drink more.

DO NOT REMOVE THE BLACK RUBBER SEAL ON THE FILTER
Top reviews from the United States
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2024We have been using these filters for years for our doodle and it’s been amazing. The water is always clear and clean when you follow the directions of running water through it prior to installing it to the water dispenser. We did have to remove the spring on the dispenser because it was preventing the water from flowing often, but the filters work just as intended!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2020I have been using this waterer and filter for several years. I like it so much that I ordered a second one to have if this one develops an issue or they stop making them. After reading some of the reviews I think I should order more as it is the best system I have found. Follow the directions and there is no problem. I wish I could remember how long I've used this, at LEAST 5 years. Do be careful to get the cap on straight, I once got an extra shower when I thought it was tight but it wasn't. Sometimes, if the water level is about 1" or less it requires a tap to flow. My dog quickly learned to do this for himself,; hearing that reminds me to fill it! So, it works and is surprisingly durable.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2022I can't believe I need to explain this but if you've removed the rubber stopper at the top of the filter, you've successfully wasted your money. The rubber stopper is called a "check valve" or non-return valve. It's sole purpose is to make sure things can flow one way but not the other; in this case, so air can flow into the reservoir, but water can't flow out of that particular hole, because THERE'S NO FILTER IN THAT HOLE! If you've removed it, you may as well just not added the filter in the first place. If you look at Tony C's picture, he shows the small plastic cap you're supposed to uncap on the reservoir lid.
You may still run into an issue where it stops dispensing water even if there is water in the reservoir; this seems to be an issue with how the reservoir is oriented and where the actual dispensing hole (the rod with the spring) aligns in the bowl itself. If yours stop dispensing water while it's still full, take note of how the "Petsafe" logo is aligned on top of the reservoir. Put the reservoir into the bowl so that it's aligned opposite to what it was before (i.e. if it reads "Petsafe" rotate the reservoir so that it reads "ǝɟɐsʇǝԀ" or vice versa)
As for the filter review, it's alright so far. The entire reason I bought it was because the reservoir would have fruit flies in it when I'd go to refill and it smelled horrible from all my dog's slobber getting sucked back up into it. So I mainly bought it to keep the flies and slobber out of the reservoir, rather than filtering the water itself; to which it seems to do a good job of.
Hopefully this has kept some of you from following bad advice and flushing your money down the drain.
Edit: As for the carbon/charcoal leaking through the filter; activated carbon is harmless when consumed. In fact, if your pet was poisoned and your brought them to a vet, the vet would probably have them ingest activated carbon/charcoal to absorb the poison. Same thing for humans. Human water filters like Brita or in-fridge water filters can/do leak carbon as well. This is why they say to dump the first several glasses of water when installing a new filter in a fridge. It's not visually pleasing, but it is practically harmless. Do a google search for "water filter leaking carbon" and see for yourself.

- Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2024I bought the medium size water bottle and waited for the two charcoal filters to arrive. That day is today and so I filled up her Majesty's gravity waterer with distilled water after the easy and quick set up of the filter system. I set it down on the floor and waited because Ms Awesome Cat was napping. Well I didn't have to wait long. The cat woke up, and went straight to her new charcoal filtered watering system. She loves it, even chose it over her water fountain. It holds a LOT of water and you can clearly see how much is in the bottle. The two filters are reasonably priced, set up was quick and easy with good instructions and secure packaging. I'll keep her water fountain but will also maintain this well designed low tech waterer as a back up because no electricity needed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Works as described. Ignore all the people who are incapable of reading a 3-step set of instructions.
Does what it says it does. All the problems people are describing are due to not reading the instructions on the back of the box. There are only 3 steps. I'm not sure why this is so complicated.
"No water is coming through, I have to keep shaking it! OMG!" (Step 1 of instructions: open the little black cap. Water flows freely.)
"There are little black particles in the water! My pet is going to die! OMG!" (Step 2, 3 of instructions: rinse the filter thoroughly to wash away loose charcoal particles. No more black particles.)
I docked one star because you do need to make sure you rinse the filter thoroughly before first use. Otherwise you do get black particles during the first little while but it disappears quickly if you keep rinsing and emptying. Also, it's activated charcoal, people. A few tiny particles isn't going to hurt your pet.

3.0 out of 5 stars Se atasca la salida de agua
Usé el bebedero durante varios meses sin el filtro y funcionaba perfectamente. Cuando compré el filtro y se lo puse, el agua en ciertos momentos deja de salir hasta que manualmente agitas el bebedero y el agua vuelve a salir. De alguna manera el filtro hace que la válvula del agua se atasque.
Tengo dos bebederos y en los dos pasa lo mismo

5.0 out of 5 stars Great filters
I know there were a lot of reviews hating on the air lock. If you want to fix the air lock problem, use a very small hole punch to put hole in the rubber gasket at the top. I used the smallest leather punch I had. But, I don't do that anymore. I actually like it. My gsd and labs are messy drinkers and the air lock means less water on the floor. All I have to do is jostle the waterer and it refills.
