It is important that your pet drinks enough water during the day to stay hydrated. That is because there are many benefits for your pet to stay hydrated, such as proper kidney function.
Cats tend to be fastidious creatures and will refuse to drink water that isn’t fresh. This can lead to dehydration.
Drinkwell Platinum 168oz Pet Fountain will solve those problems and ensure your pet gets enough fresh clean water. This drinking fountain is designed for cats, but it is suitable for all pets.
Cats need a constant flow of clean water and some cat breeds require more water than others. The Drinkwell Platinum 168oz Pet Fountain is an automatic water dispenser for pets that provides bacteria-free water supply for your furry friend.
It is an indoor water dispenser cat fountain that doesn’t need to be connected to a water line. You are able to place it anywhere you like in the house. The fountain doesn’t need a lot of maintenance, as well. This is perfect for busy pet owners.
What’s more, the Drinkwell Platinum fountain is made of durable BPA-free plastic, so it’s made to last for a long time. All the parts are dishwasher-friendly.
This fountain is great for cats used to drinking from the sink or toilet. It will help you keep your pet away from them. With this automatic water dispenser, your cat will drink more water during the day and stay hydrated.
Features
One of the main features I like is the patented 5 inch free falling stream. It can also hold adequate water without you needing to refill it too often. This is great if you have more pets. By looking after your pets’ hydration levels, you can help to prevent urinary and kidney diseases.

How it Works
The water in this pet fountain goes through carbon filters which ensures that the water your pet will be drinking is completely clean and safe. These filters make sure that particles like dust, dirt or even hair won’t get mixed in with water. They also remove odors and bad tastes.
Before using, you must first make sure that there aren’t any damages or any unprotected cables. Once you’ve checked and installed all the accessories, close the lid. All that’s left to do is to fill up the reservoir, plug the fountain in and you’re good to go.
The drinking fountain is very quiet as there is a submersible pump for silent operation. You are able to regulate the water stream according to your pet’s needs, thanks to the adjustable control valve.
Maintenance Tips
Although all parts are dishwasher-friendly, it is recommended that you deep clean it at least once weekly. This is to make sure that there is no mold or contamination and it will also make the fountain last a little longer.
To prevent the motor from groaning, you have to always keep the unit filled with water. As filters need to be replaced often, you are able to use boiled filtered water to save money on filters.
Pros
• Easy to set up and operate
• Easy to clean
• Quiet
• Made of BPA-free plastic
• Provides clean water for your pets
• Encourages cats to drink more water
Cons
• Requires deep cleaning once or twice per week to ensure there is no contamination
• Filters need to be changed often and they are not cheap
• Even though it is usually silent, the unit does make a little noise – especially if the stream is set on high
Conclusion
The Drinkwell Platinum 168oz Pet Fountain is a great product. However, cats are very specific creatures and not all cats will get used to it. If your cat refuses to drink water from a bowl, give this water dispenser a try.
It will encourage your cat to drink more water, but you need to be ready to deep clean the parts every week.
It is a great product that allows your cat free access to clean water all day, even while you are out of town for a day or two.
