 My cats LOVE this!, 2008-07-11
I bought this fountain for my eighteen cats about a month ago. They absolutely love it! All of them are drinking more, which is definite plus in Arizona in July. I tend to add water to the bowl during the day and make sure the reserve is filled for the night so the pump doesn't run dry.
The only possible downside is that I have to clean it 2-3 times a week, but that takes about 15 minutes, start to finish, washing with soap, and much feline help. There isn't a filter before the pump, so with long-haired cats you need to check it more often (15 of my 18 are long-haired.) For someone with fewer cats, I could easily see the need to clean it drop to no more than once a week.

Pretty Nice Product!, 2008-06-09
I bought this for my 4 dogs. One of them is a mastiff who slobbers into her water bowl;making it so the other dogs won't drink from it. The Petmate filters that out and it circulates the water to keep it fresh. My only gripe is that it doesn't circulate with enough force to pick up heavier particles like dirt and kibble particles. I still have to clean out the dish regularly.
The dogs were a bit reluctant to use it at first but quickly realized the benefits of it and drink much more frequently than they did from a regular bowl that I emptied, cleaned and refilled daily.
I dearly wish they would make a tap for an 'ice maker' water hose; which would keep the water level constant; just thinking out loud here but maybe turning the refill bowl into a float system with a tap on the back so people (like me) could add it to our system.

 Petmate Deluxe Fresh Flow Pet Foutain, Jumbo , 2008-06-07
I've had the med. size Fresh Flow for years, and the cats and myself love it, in spite of the fact that debris can collect in the bowl (I solved that problem long ago, by using a turkey baster to suck out food bits, etc.., !). I now have five kitty mouths to water, and the med. just didn't cut it any more, so I purchased the Jumbo. It has pretty much the identical design, except for a small spout at the top of the return flow tube that delivers water to the filter. I assume this is because there is a greater distance for the water to travel with the jumbo, but not sure. While the med. made absolutely no descernible noise, the jumbo made a constant trickling sound. For some reason, after using it for a while.. couple weeks.. it isn't making the noise any more! The med. size released water to keep it at a level of ½" below the rim, but this jumbo one doesn't add water until the level in the bowl drops to an inch below the rim... fairly minor difference. I sort of expected a more powerful pump, though, in retrospect, it doesn't seem to affect performance at all. All in all... Positives: I like how much water the reservoir holds; it doesn't spatter at all, like so many other brands do; it is (now) totally quiet; The "kids" love it; the price was very right! Negatives: I wish it kept the water level a bit higher(just a minor negative); still wish Pet Mate could find a way to have their products circulate the water strongly enough to catch debris, even though I've found a "work-around" ;o) If they could do that last thing- I'd consider pretty close to perfect. As it stands, it's still my first choice, and I would recommend it, in whatever size makes sense, as a great way to supply cool, oxygenated water to your cat(s), especially since cats often don't drink enough water to supplement the dry food many eat. Of course- great for the woofers, too!

Great water fountain,but fails in one area., 2008-06-07
I have two Persians,which are long haired,and I
find I have to clean the pump and replace the
filter every week,if I don't the water flow drops
to zero. This fountain was designed for a short
hair cat,but when it is cleaned my persians love
it. I still recommend this item because it pro-
vides a fresh and cool water source.

Umm Yeah, 2008-05-31
I purchased this fountain for my two JRT's. While one of them was ok with it the other did not like the gurgling noises it makes when the tank releases water. It preforms as advertised. It keeps the water nice and cool and holds a lot of it.. But I found I had to keep a separate bowl of water for my other dog as after the 2nd or 3rd gurgle she no longer drank out of this fountain.. It now sits empty in my basement.. I gave it four stars because it does work as advertised.. It just doesn't appeal to my sensitive dog..
