Product Description
The Drinkwell Platinum pet fountain is the ultimate in style and design. This all new design utilizes the same patented free falling stream of water as the original Drinkwell which entices pets to drink more. The Platinum features a new snap on lid to prevent accidental removal, a pre-filter to catch large particles before they reach the motor and a new submersible pump for nearly silent operation.

Nice fountain, but not as silent as advertised September 6, 2010
S. Taylor
I bought this to give my cat an alternative to drinking out of the faucet. It did take him some time to adapt to it, but he is now drinking out of it, except he doesn't seem to drink the water stream like I was expecting. I added the cat grass adapter to it a few weeks ago, and it is growing very quickly. The water capacity is great, and it's very easy to set up.
I bought the Platinum because of the advertised near silent operation and the water capacity. The motor does make a noticable hum, but I've had to set it up in the dining room, which is just off of the living room, so there aren't any walls to block the noise. It did start running louder last night, but I followed a recommendation on their website, shut it off overnight, and it's quieted down again this morning. It does need to be cleaned out regularaly...my cat's a Himalayan, so I don't doubt that it's picked up some hair in the filters.
 A really good bargain September 5, 2010

I received the unit as promised and 2 of my 3 cats starting drinking from it right away. My other cat is slowly getting the hang of it but still likes a morning treat from the bathroom faucet. I did not find any problem with the noise of the pump as in other reviews. It does take a little getting used to lifting the unit without causing a mess, but it is easy after you get the hang of it (just have to always grab the entire unit from the bottom). The instructions suggest putting icecubes in the reservoir but I found it easier and the cats prefer putting 3-4 cubes directly in the water dish (they seem to enjoy the noise of the cubes as they hit the water flow). The exact unit was $69 at local pet stores, so the price is right.
works with my cat September 5, 2010

I see my 5yrold cat drinking more water, which is the reason I bought this item. Good product. But harder to clean/maintain than a bowl of water. That's why I gave it 4 stars. It said you can use a dish washer - top rack low heat but with my investment, might as well hand wash it every other week. Just a pain taking it a part to clean it that's why I gave 4 stars.
 It was noisier than I expected September 5, 2010

I was hoping that this water fountain would be as quiet as the description implied. It was noisy enough that none of my 4 cats or 2 dogs would have anything to do with it (even after several days)
Absolutely wonderful for your pet September 4, 2010

My 5 year old cat has always been intrigued by water coming out of a faucet. In fact, everytime me or my husband would go into the bathroom, she'd come running in too and hop up on the sink, waiting for the water to be turned on. She loves to drink out of the sink, even though she gets her head totally soaked. Since she loves the fresh running water, I decided to order the Platinum fountain, as it has a large resevoir. The day that I got it and set it up, she parked herself in front of it and just started drinking as if she was dying of thirst. This fountain definitely makes her drink more water than when it's just in a bowl. And I'm very happy about that. She drinks more water, eats less and is more active.
Cleaning the fountain is pretty easy. I ordered the brush kit and it works well. The best part is that the fountain, with the exception of the resevoir tank, is dishwasher safe. Taking the fountain apart and reassembling is pretty easy.
Perhaps the one thing that I'm not too fond of is the charcoal filters. I understand why they are there but they leave a buildup on the inside of the drinking bowl and inside the fountain assembly. It's not difficult to clean by any means though, as it comes right off with a little rubbing.
