 Worked Great! For a week! March 10, 2010
S. Fitzgerald (Minnesota)
I purchased a jumbo-sized version of the Freshflow when it was on sale, trying to find a good watering solution for our St Bernard. Because of her jowly mouth, she tends to get food particles in her water bowl constantly, and because of her build and coat she needs a lot of water in warmer months to stay cool. Refilling a regular bowl several times a day was getting to be a major headache, and cleaning a gravity-fed waterer several times a day was too much work.
I loved the Freshflow.... for about 2 weeks. It was so nice and quiet and clean!... for the first few days. It just didn't last and ended up being a huge waste of money.
Our issues were:
It leaked all over the kitchen floor, especially every time it was refilled.
It began to make a hideous sucking gurgling LOUD noise every time our dog drank from it, even if there was still water in the resevoir. This could only be solved by adding 12-18oz of water by hand into the entrance to the pump, every time our dog drank, which is approximately every 6 minutes (or it feels that way!)
It stopped keeping the bowl clean. Now, I did clean out the bowl myself. I didn't just leave the pump and filter to implode. But after a week or so it just didn't do anything. Every little crumb was left sitting in the bowl.
After a month, pump suction went down to zero. You'd turn it on and 10 minutes later one drop of water would valiantly dribble forth from the top while the motor made noises like it was going to have a coronary event. I started to seriously worry about it being a fire hazard.
It ended up after the first week or two that several times a day, every day, I would have to take the fountain apart into several pieces, clean them all, which was not easy; reassemble them, refill it with water, clean and refill the storage tank, replace it and get the lid on, cheer on the straining pump trying to get a mouthful of water up to the filter, and then clean up the puddle it had left all over the floor.
Seriously, wiping out the old metal bowl with a paper towel and refilling it never looked so good.
 Best Fountain March 8, 2010

The fresh flow pet fountain from petmate is so much easier and owner friendly than the drinkwell platinum fountain. My kitty likes this so much more than the other fountain. The drinkwell is great for lots of animals in the house, but for just one kitty, it is too big, and the size of the petmate fountain is perfect. It is significantly smaller than the drinkwell and makes less noise. I am so happy I switched to this fountain.
Leaks....Not worth it. March 6, 2010

2nd unit that I have had that leaks. I haven't had any pump problems, but I'm very good about making sure the water level is above the pump line so that it doesn't make noise. However....came home twice since I purchased this a couple of weeks ago to wet floors....now damaged hardwood floors. Since my cats love drinking out of a fountain...I'm on a search for one that doesn't leak!
nah, too noisy March 5, 2010

We bought a Petmate after buying a Drinkwell because we wanted to see the differences in quality, and ease of cleaning. We ended up returning the unit for being considerably louder than the Drinkwell.
Perfect for our new kitty! March 5, 2010

I have had experience with this pet fountain as well as the Drinkwell. The main difference is the Drinkwell has flowing water that is more like a faucet. My kitty doesn't mind this aspect, but others may. In my opinion, with the water reservoir, it needs filling up less than the Drinkwell fountain. The box included enough filters for at least 9 months, which was nice. Overall I am very happy with this purchase!
