 Block too easily Dec 12, 2008
By Nij
We got these to use with the petmate drinking fountain we previously bought. We have a relatively high level of chlorination in our water and my fiancee is convinced that the cats don't like it (even though they happily drink from any toilet in the house).
The issue we ran into is that after around a week the carbon starts to clump together. This massively reduces the flow through the filter and causes the water to back up behind it. This then causes the fountain to become very noisy.
I don't know if this is a recurring problem with all users but the lifespan on these things is supposed to be a month so we're not doing so well. I have another 5 to use so we'll get through them then probably switch to using filtered water. (or toilet water if my fiancee isn't looking)

 What a joke!!! Apr 09, 2009
By Cat Fan
These filters really only will work to help filter out lint and other light debris that might fall into the water bowl. The enormous size of the charcoal bits is ridiculous for true water filtration because each piece is so huge. There are only so many 'sites' on the bits to adsorb water impurities. Not only that, but there are hardly any pieces in it to begin with. Charcoal filters work best when the pieces are tiny and packed together and the overall surface area is significantly increased. If you look at any Brita or PUR pitcher filter and see the tiny activated charcoal pieces, you can clearly tell the difference. DON'T BUY THEM--Wast of your hard earned money for a gimic.

 Nice, but not necessary Nov 04, 2009
By Deborah Verlen

These filters don't last as long as the manufacturer states, but when they are obviously in the need to throw out stage, they do still filter out lint, hair and larger particles. My cats don't seem to notice though whether the fountain has them in use or not.
We did find out after running out of filters for the aquarium that these can be used in a pinch!

Probably not that effective. Aug 09, 2009
By A. Morton
Ok so I have not been using the unit that these go with for too long, just got it today. But just based on my feeling of the product, I highly doubt that they are very effective in actually filtering anything other than lint or other large debris. Its a loose felt material on the outside. The inside of it feels to be some stiff plastic or thin metal of some sort to hold the shape, with some pieces of carbon or charcoal in there. There are not a lot of actual carbon or charcoal chunks like you would see in a brita filter, and they do not do anything but sit at the bottom of the "filter" so I honestly dont see how they could do anything. We have a brita filter on our sink, so when I fill the unit, I use that and will use the rest of the 4 filters I got for the unit, but do not believe I will be purchasing more.

 Excellent Merchant Nov 01, 2007
By C. G. Clemens
The replacement filters are an exact replacement for the item currently in use. The merchant delivered the item on time and it is exactly what I expected.
