 The Drinkwell Platinum is much better and cleaner product October 31, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
We previously we had this model (the Petmate Deluxe Fresh Flow) for about 2 years. The motor ran well and it never broke, so I gave it 2 stars. But it is an older outdated model and our pet store stopped carrying the filters. So I decided to upgrade to a newer product, the Drinkwell Platinum fountain.Drinkwell Platinum Pet Fountain
I would definitely recommend the Drinkwell and NOT this product. The new Drinkwell has been wonderful because I've definitely seen all three of my cats drinking MUCH more water in the last two weeks than with the Petmate fountain. I can promise you I've found the proof in the litter boxes.
The Drinkwell's water stream is much stronger and circulates the water better than the Petmate. It gives the water the power to move most of the debris toward the little trap. That keeps the water bowl so much cleaner; where as with the Petmate, the debris would circulate until it either sank to the bottom or stuck to the bowl walls. In addition, the Drinkwell's filter is designed SO much better (6 divided coal sections). The coal in the Petmate's filter would just clump at the bottom (i believe it has 2 divided sections).
The Drinkwell also holds a lot more water. Both products are dishwasher safe, so regular washing is easy for either. However, I can say the old Petmate has many tiny corners which made it a pain when it came to scrubbing off the mineral deposit build up (but my guess is the new one will be too).
I would recommend paying the extra $20 and going for the Drinkwell Platinum and staying away from this old model.
 works great October 26, 2008
Works wonderfully! We have two young kittens who are getting used to it, and I was worried that it would rattle like the one I had gotten for our previous cats who'd passed away earlier this year, but it is great! The kittens have no fears of it and it is silent and without problems. Easy to assemble and minimal maintenance.
Just what I needed October 17, 2008

The Petmate Deluxe pet fountain is perfect for my 2 aging female cats. They need lots of water for their kidneys and the freshness of the water, along with the movement of it, keeps them drinking it instead of trying to drink from the toilets! I wish I had purchased it long before now.
Cats love its October 16, 2008
Our four cats love this. Fat Sam especially. Very quiet and holds plenty of water for the four cats.
Happy Cats! Happy Mom! October 15, 2008
I read various reviews of the Petmate Fountain before I bought it, but my sister had the smaller version and she was very happy with hers. So I went ahead and bought the jumbo version for my two cats. We've had it for about 4 weeks now, and it's been great! I don't find it hard to clean, or to refill. My one cat loved it immediately, but it took the other a few days to get used to the running water and the noise. It's not noisy by any means, but it sounds like exactly what it is...a fountain! My husband and I travel a lot on the weekends, so it's great to not have to worry about them running out of water, or it getting stale. I am happy that I went with the Jumbo size b/c I think I would have been refilling it much too often if I had gotten something smaller...so if you have two adult cats, I definitely recommend the Jumbo.
