More than 10 years of making pet fountains has gone into ensuring your pet is always properly hydrated with the Drinkwell Platinum Pet Fountain. Drinking plenty of water is as essential for your pet’s health as it is for your own. By providing a constant 5-inch stream of falling water, the innovative Platinum Pet Fountain makes drinking more attractive and fun for your pet, as well as more convenient for you. No longer will your pet have to slurp stagnant water from a traditional bowl. The simple, safe Platinum Pet Fountain holds 168 fluid ounces, keeping your pet out of your sinks and toilets. A replaceable charcoal filter removes bad tastes and odors. Snap the included clear plastic lid over the reservoir to prevent it from becoming accidentally detached. A pre-filter catches hair and other large particles before they reach the motor. A submersible pump allows the Platinum Pet Fountain to run nearly silently. A handy splash guard keeps water inside the fountain and off your floor. Rubber feet keep the fountain firmly in place. Runs on a low-voltage 12-volt system with inline disconnect for easy plug removal. A recipient of Cat Fancy’s Best New Cat Product award, the fountain has been designed, approved, and recommended by veterinarians. Making sure your pet is properly hydrated also wards off urinary tract infections and kidney disorders. No assembly is required, and the fountain comes apart quickly for easy cleaning. Covered by a 1-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Fountain attracts cats, design flaws hinder people
By P. Pittenger
I'm with an animal rescue group so we have a lot of cats. Needless to say we loved the original Drinkwell because it attracts the cats over to drink more water. The new design of the Platinum Drinkwell is even better as far as attracting the cats... however, there are a couple of design flaws which are making these more work for us. The reservoir cannot stand up independently like the old one. You have to hold it or lean it against something sturdy in order to refill it as it is curved shape. Additionally, when we flip it back over no matter how careful we are water leaks out. The opening to the reservoir and shape of it also do not allow for easy cleaning. The only new feature we like a lot is the little "gate" in front of the motor area which helps us keep cat hair and fuzzies out. A plus to any Drinkwell would be if the top of the unit actually snapped into place and could not be removed by the animals. We find the cats think the top of this is a new toy and they bat it all over the house - we have had to remove it entirely - which unfortunately only leads to more hair / fuzzies being able to get into the unit. As a rescue we refill the Drinkwells 2 or 3 times a day and while we like the Platinum one because it holds more water the fact that we can't stand the reservoir up by itself is a deterrent. We won't be purchasing more of them and will probably go back to using the original version.
