I am a new owner of a cat and found that I needed to take a 5 day trip out of town soon after I got her. My daughter was asked to help me find pet waterer that was dependable and easy to use since I have no prior experience with these things. I must say that the Petmate Deluxe Fresh Flow Pet Fountain Large, White turned out to be exactly what I was looking for! It was very easy to assemble and only took about twenty minutes. Two extra water filters were included with the unit as well. The extra reservoir was a nice touch plus the entire unit holds a a full gallon of water! operates very quietly no buzz or hums.
I only have one cat, so if you have more than one you might consider purchasing a larger waterer. I might add that the cat did not hesitate to drink from the unit which had a steady flow of fresh water with no danger of tipping over.
Very pleased with the price, performance, quality and speed of delivery.
I am now looking at purchasing an automatic pet feeder for my feline companion for my next trip away from her.
Seems the kind that just has all that food just laying around was too much temptation for her.LOL!!

The product works just fine, no complaints. The reason I ordered from the Amazon site is because the product was stated as white in color. I received a tan one which I could have ordered from many other places. Here is the description from Amazon.com.. "Petmate Deluxe Fresh Flow Pet Fountain Medium, White"

This is the third pet water fountain I've owned, and the best. The first one was the very large size,with large resevoir attachment. I think it was too much water for my two cats - they didn't go through it fast enough so the water seemed to get "stale". I eventually ended up getting rid of it because all of the nooks and crannies inside were too hard to get clean and ended up slimy and gross - I wouldn't want water from it! The second fountain I had was a Medium Petmate - but the "deluxe" model with adjustable fountain speed. This one was very noisy and I always had to fiddle with it to get the water pumping correctly- often in the middle of the night so I could sleep. (Eventually my cat puked in it, jamming the motor. No desire to try to fix it). I had given up on the water fountains - even though my cats LOVE THEM- and then this simple model went on sale. It is perfect. I have to refill it often - may be a downside for some but I figure my cats are getting fresher water this way. It works great and I can't believe how very very quiet it is. Maybe simpler is better!

I have been using this for a while now, and I have not had any problems!! It keeps the water moving and fresh, and somewhat cooler. I take it apart about once a week and clean it really well, but other that that, I never have to mess with it. I, however, only have one midsize dog..and I think if someone had a couple of dogs, or a large dog, they would have to get a larger water tank.

When I was in school, my cat used a Drinkwell fountain, which he loved. After I moved across the country to California, I decided to buy him another fountain, this time a Petmate Deluxe. What a terrible mistake. This beast is amazingly loud! The pump makes a very irritating grating sound, a lot like a fan that's misaligned such that the blades grate against the sides. It's an incessant grinding plastic noise that I can hear two rooms away. The Petmate sits in my kitchen and actually rivals the noise of the dishwasher.
Although it wasn't enough to scare my cat, after three days I couldn't take it anymore and unplugged it. Now it sits there like an overpriced plastic water bowl. At least the Petmate was limited to a splashing water noise, which was actually somewhat calming. There is nothing calming about this. Had I not thrown away the box, I'd return it today.
Please don't buy this!!!
