  • Unexpectedly Disappointed
I am surprisingly and severely disappointed in this product, and would say that you should purchase it only if what I've got to say about it is no problem for you. First, some background. I have two cats that are currently 13 years old. When they were two, one of them got a urinary infection. After speaking with two vets it was deemed that the infection was most likely a result of this particular cat not drinking enough water. They recommended buying a water fountain and explained that the sound and better taste (and possibly the visual) would be more enticing and lead them to drink more water. I admit to being skeptical, but when I saw how cheap they could be I figured it wouldn't hurt to try. After careful review of the options available, I purchased the Drinkwell Original. It turns out it has worked fantastically and the cats haven't had any problem since (and as the cat-litter-box-cleaner, I can confirm there seemed to be more intake of water). Back in 2009 or 2010 I decided to 'upgrade' to the Drinkwell Platinum, however the motor on that one had quickly burnt out. Luckily I hadn't tossed the Original out yet, so I plugged that back in. It continued to work just fine, however the cleaning of the original seemed like more hassle than I wanted and I decided to try upgrading again to the Zen about two months ago - and I'm sad to say I quickly threw out the Original, I'd like to have that back again. First, the pros. The stainless does seem to be easier to clean by not requiring the amount of scrubbing I felt the other ones required. The basin is also significantly larger, holding more water. The plastic housing that holds the filter, the pump motor, and the water guide is fairly easy to remove (although I do find the pumps suction cups to be more of a hindrance than a help). The con, and yes I only see one, is the filtration. I will admit to being a bad Drinkwell pet fountain owner. With the Original and Platinum I would swap out the water about every other week; and change the filter (with requisite scrubbing) every month to 6 weeks. I absolutely should have been more on top of that than I was, and I readily admit it. That said, despite the bad habit, the water always was clear and still had a good flavor. However, there is something seriously wrong with the Zen. Within the first week I noticed that the water suddenly became very cloudy. I swapped out the water and chalked it up to somebody being careless and dropping something in there, no biggie. However, the water turned back to a cloud within 2 days after that. I pulled the housing off and noticed that there was all sorts of a mucous-like gook on the filter, and that was also clogging the slot vent in front of the filter. I then checked the pump and saw that the pump had also had this weird mucous within it. I quickly cleaned it out (after swearing a bit wondering what the heck was dropped into the bowl), swapped out the filter, and figured I was good to go. Nope, after doing so the water clouded up again within a week. I cleaned as I did previously, but now I realized it was something with the fountain itself. I decided to buy a bunch of the premium filters instead of the regular ones, hoping that would maybe help solve the problem, but I wasn't too sure about that solution as I felt as if the whole way water gets filtered on this fountain is just poorly designed. I'll save you the suspense, the better filters (which I always found better in the other fountains) did not ease the pain at all. This level of gunk, and the precise cleaning to go with clearing it out, should not be required every 5 to 7 days. A water swap out within that time makes sense, but that's not what's happening here. I think I see a few reasons why the filtration is so bad: - First, I think the pump is too small. It should be larger for the larger amount of water. I think the small pump caused the designers to do large openings in the slot vent in front of the filter. That vent allows for a nice amount of water circulation, but it doesn't do anything for possible debris. - Second, the filters themselves aren't all that great for this water fountain. They fit perfectly well for the regular fountains, but the company seems to have made a decision that would make it easier for us consumers by having you use the same filter for all their fountains. Here's why that's a problem; the filters narrow at one end to fit the narrowing of the water circulation of the regular fountains. However, in the Zen, that slot vent doesn't narrow, and in fact, there is no narrowing at any point in the circulation as far as I can tell. What this means is that you get a lot of water circulating without contacting the filter. - Third, the pump is unprotected. The only issues I ever had with cleaning pumps in other fountains was that there might be a little fur. Not always, just sometimes. But the problem I've run into with this gunk is that the filter is absolutely getting filled with it. This pump sits completely exposed in the water (but not in your eyes, since it sits under the housing. There is no pre-filter or filter for the pump itself, and in fact, all the water passing by the pump is unfiltered. No wonder why this substance is packed in it! They should have at least a pre-filter to catch things from getting clogged into it, or gone ahead and aligned the motor outside of the water or along the filter to help this. If you're okay with a deep clean procedure every 3 to 5 days, then I think you will be very happy with this fountain. I admit that I am not, and this is likely going to be replaced with a plain, old, unpowered, water dish or an older style fountain once I run out of filters. Even if you are okay with this cleaning process, this fountain still manages to be poorly designed. I'm really shocked to be let down so bad by a Drinkwell... UPDATE ON 09/04/16: Well, I finally had it with this bowl. I did a deep clean 3 days ago and found it super cloudy and gunk filled again. I'm going to buy a different one for my cats and try to pay attention to whether or not it happens with a model I have experience using. If it does, I will be off to the vet to see what's going on with them (clearly one of them is sick, but this would be the only sign of a problem. If it doesn't, then that's the good news. ... show more

  • solid unit
Works well, the pumps will eventually go out but are of a common size. Most of the time they can just be disassembled and cleaned and will start right up again. That is usually the case when they stop working when you unplug to change the water and clean. Just pop off back cap, manually rotate the impeller a few times, clean out detritus, put back together and usually good. ... show more

  • Great so far!
So far I love this bowl! I have two cats that both drink from it now. Girl cat took to it within a second of plugging it in, and boy cat drank after about ten minutes of spying on it from across the room. I had issues with boy cat drinking from a bowl previously, he would dip his paw in and drink from his paw or he would splash the water out onto the floor and drink it from the floor. I didnt like this because he got the floor all wet, his water full of dirt and litter, and because it isn't sanitary for him. He now drinks right from the bowl! I've even seen both cats drink right from the waterfall part. I think part of the problem previously was that they had a difficult time seeing the depth of the water in the bowl, and didnt want to get water on their faces, so to disturb the surface they would put a paw in. Now the water is moving and the surface is visible to them without needing to put dirty paws in. The charcoal filter is a complete gimmick and I will not be buying more. I say this because water does not need to flow through the filter to reach the pump. The black part does not seal to the stainless bowl and water can flow under and around it, bypassing the filter. This is not an issue for me because I drink our tap water with no filter, so the cats will be fine too. It holds a ton of water, with a min and max line on the black part. It is easy to take apart, the black part lifts off the stainless bowl with two tabs that hold it on. You can rinse the black part independantly of the stainless bowl and then rinse the bowl and you're done cleaning. Really no other disassembly needed. The cord has a break in the middle where you can unplug it so you dont need to unplug the wall part. It looks sharp, and feels like a quality thing. There are rubber feet on the bottom of the stainless bowl. It is very quiet. In my apartment I cant hear it when the ac is running, and with the ac off it is barely audible from across the room. My parents have a larger dog model that is much louder. If the sound of this unit were to bother you then I would be willing to bet that any flowing bowl would bother you. I will update my review if anything goes wrong with it. Be sure to keep it close to the full level, itll help the pump last longer and give the quietest operation. Update: as of one year later it's still kicking. No rust or anything yet. Still pumps fine. It helps to have a sink with a higher powered spray nozzle to clean the slimyness that can otherwise build up inside the tubes of the pump part. I wanted to update again to say that I discovered more of it comes apart than I thought! Mine started flowing slow, so I started trying to take more apart.The black cover just above where the waterfall comes out is removable just by pulling up on it. This allows you to clean the slimy clear crap that builds up slowly in there. I should have been cleaning it every time and feel stupid now. The pump has a plastic screen on it and this actually pulls straight off. Underneath there is a small cap that covers the "fins" of the pump that actually move the water. This pulls off too. I now just clean all these parts with dish soap and a dish brush and the pump works like new. I should have been doing this all along but I was unaware it came apart! (Until I tried blowing it out with a compresser and blew the parts all over the garage...) I will try to upload something that shows all the parts that come apart. Still a great product, I now run it with no filter installed and it works great. I added a photo of the bowl disassembled without the main black part. All of the pieces just pull apart. I make sure to wash out the pump and other small parts now and it seems to stay clean longer. I roll up paper towels to pull through the straw like part to clean that out too. ... show more

  • All 5 of my cats love it
Bought in October 2020. Had to replace the filter in 2021. It's almost October 2023 and it is still going strong. I've had cats afraid of fountains before. Actually 2 I have now were afraid of fountains but they all use this with no problems. It is not loud at all. I barely notice it. Took a bit of trail and error in the beginning but it is really easy to clean. Easy to order filter replacements also. Make sure you read the instructions on how to clean it. Every piece comes apart and even in to smaller pieces. ... show more
