PetSafe Healthy Pet Water Station - Medium, 128 oz Capacity - Gravity Pet Water Fountain, Automatic Cat Water Fountain, Dog Water Fountain, Water Dispenser - Removable Stainless Steel Bowl Included

This is a great bowl but mine arrived without any instructions other than an advertisement for the filters and how to install them. Initially I thought it was missing parts like the bowl and a cap that I describe later. I hope this review saves others time and frustration in case yours does not have instructions like mine. The box contains the reservoir on the top and in a false bottom I later discovered, the bowls. I almost returned mine because I thought parts were missing! The top of the reservoir contains a black plastic ring that covers the molded portion of the reservoir itself. Both pieces function as a handle to carry the filled or empty jug and as a way to lock the reservoir in place to the bowl after you refill the bottle. It also allows the top part to lay flat on the floor for refilling or screwing on the filling cap. ASSEMBLY: I have included photos of what the bottom screw on lid looked like on arrival. Note the center bottom hole is open. 1) If you do NOT plan to use the optional charcoal filters, there is a cap sitting on a post that you MUST use to cover this center hole or your reservoir will overfill. I suspect this is the reason some complain of overfilling. As there were no directions, I missed this little cap at first. See the pictures that I provided. This cap sits in a post on the fill cap that is easy to miss. 2) IF you plan to use the filters, these come with black valve that fits into the hole so you MUST put the cap on its post to have it work properly. The filter will not work unless you take this cap off so water can flow through the filter mechanism. FILLING: You cannot fill this from the top as some reviews suggested. It fills from the bottom but it has a cap that screws on the bottom to prevent spilling and leaking while you are carrying or installing the reservoir to the bowl. Water comes out of that spring loaded valve once the reservoir is locked in place. I am older but had no issues carrying the filled reservoir. Even filled, the container was not too heavy. BOWL DEPTH: Some reviews stated their bowls were not sufficiently deep. We have two larger dogs including a 105 lb German Shepherd and at least for the large size we ordered it works for either dog. The bowl is about 3-4 inches deep on the front where they drink so that is more than sufficient for most dogs. WATER FLOW/NOISE: I noticed very little noise while the water flows into the dish. You hear a faint glug but it should not wake one up or be bothersome for most. It does fill somewhat slowly when first filling the bowl from empty but my dogs had no issue getting the water they needed while drinking. Having too small a dish for your dog may cause issues I suppose. Those who report loud glugging sounds may want to check that their center hole cap is secured (if not using a filter). I have not used a filter yet so I cannot comment on sounds it may make with that installed. Sorry for the long review but I hope it solves some issues that others reported and helps those trying to figure it out if there are no instructions in the box like mine.

Hey, I’m James Brains with the Brains Report, and this is my video review of the PetSafe Healthy Pet Water Station. There are 3 main reasons why we like the PetSafe Healthy Pet Water Station: 1. Clean – Our preschooler likes to play with the pet’s water. This water station reduces the amount available to him. In fact, he’s shown little interest in it. 2. Easy to Use – I didn’t even have to read the directions. Just pop and fill and replace. It’s a PFR operation. 3. Easy to Clean – Remove the stainless steel bowl and use your soap-dispensing dish scrubber to gitter done. We got this for our two cats and dog for Christmas last year. You see, we have a family tradition of getting each other water bowls. Much like Stranger in a Strange Land, we believe the sharing of water and water receptacles is a true sign of friendship and love. The pets immediately took to the water. Even the cats like doing their weird licky thing in it. We have not had any issues with rust, and we like that you can see the water level to know when to add more. Also, it’s BPA-free and dishwasher safe, though I don’t think it would fit in our dishwasher. This model improved our home décor immensely. Before, people would come over and say, “Ewww, let’s leave.” Now, they stay for hours at a time. Some visitors even take their shoes off and get comfortable! Overall, I would recommend this to anyone who has pets and doesn’t like giving them water too often. We only have to fill it about every week or so. If you don’t have pets, I really don’t know how you would get much use out of this. Maybe for some weird BDSM play? I don’t know. It’s your kink. Anyway, five stars! If you have any questions, please comment below. I’m here to help.

I can not review this product's durability since I've only had it one week, but otherwise I am pretty happy. I initially considered a fountain model, but having to manage location based on proximity to an electrical outlet, not to mention that most puppies found electrical cords to be interesting chew toys, made an electric model out of the question for now. I did not get the filter based on mixed reviews and the fact that I use filtered water and refill it daily and wash everything about every other day. Pros: It works. It is not an overly engineered design which makes it pretty simple to use. The medium size handles about one day of water for my two dogs. The stainless steel bowl is good quality and went through a dishwasher cycle with no issues. It is not heavy, but has enough heft to it that it has not been knocked over yet. Con: I have a large breed puppy. The bowl itself is fairly small. As she grows, I am concerned that the bowl may simply be too small for her to drink comfortably. Since this product does not continually filter the water like an electric model, it does require more cleaning to keep sediments out of the bowl. Overall it's a good product. Keep in mind, since it has to be cleaned pretty regularly, this is not a fill it and forget it kind of product. My suggestion is to consider the reservoir capacity AND the bowl size when purchasing.

Definitely better then the plastic ones. The stainless steel liner bowl makes a big difference. I'm glad I purchased this. I recommend this product. Quality is good, the capacity of holding water great.

Love this. Finally an opening at the bottom where I can get my hand in to clean the inside of the container! Metal dish is better for your animal to drink out of plus it keeps it cool. It’s very sturdy and easy to clean. My cats & dogs seem to all enjoy drinking from it. No problems. Water flow is good. I replaced all their water dishes with this one 👍🏼👍🏼.

As far as how much water it holds, I love it. As for noise? It's perfect, especially compared to the fountain I had previously that got really loud if it was just a little under filled. It's simple and easy for me. It didn't come with directions, but it doesn't really need them as it's straight forward. And it is true, mostly, to word. My cat can't knock it over the way she could the first gravity bowl I got her, or like my roommates. But she can knock it around, scootch it, and even figured out how to angle it on the edge of her food thing so that all the water spills out anyway. And then did finally figure out how to get the reservoir off (only once it was empty). I'm trying by moving it to a different surface for now. And she's still been able to move it. So I'll try other things, next will be adding little rubber bumpers to see if it helps. Mostly I like this bowl. It's got enough water to go several days to a week or more. And it's easy for me to fill. I do worry about it maybe not being very durable. You'll see the attached pictures, the part that presses in release the water is already showing signs of stress and I've had this thing for a few weeks, maybe a month. Edited: I changed my review from 4 to 3 stars. Honestly now that my cat has figured it out, even removing the unnecessary top piece (I seriously don't get it's function but had to remove it as the grooves gave her the perfect grip to assist in tipping it over) she just does it constantly. There's nothing inherently about the design that helps prevent this that i can tell. Not even a little rubber/silicone seal along the bottom to make it harder to slide around. I think i got her to go a week without knocking it over which was great

This waterer is VERY well made. It is easy to clean and sanitize, doesn't leak at all, has a small footprint, and doesn't scare our girls. We had the Le Bistro prior to this and while we liked it very much it was too small (2qts for 4 Chihuahuas meant we had to fill it every day which kinda defeats the purpose of this sort of waterer), the sound of the air bubbles was a bit startling at times and while the base was easy to clean the bottle was not. All of those issues are addressed in this product. Moreover, they've addressed issues I didn't even know I had with the other! With this PetSafe waterer you can wash the stainless steel bowl daily without having to wash the whole base. Our girls are generally not droolers and they don't "play" in their water but as a pet sitter I've met dogs who needed their water bowls washed out twice daily just so you could see through the yuck. The removable part cleans in minutes with ease and the slow flow valve also keeps the yuck out of the fresh water in the reservoir. I'll be telling my clients about this one! The wider mouth on the reservoir makes cleaning it much easier as expected but just filling it is easier too, no funnel, tubes, or mops required! There are three things I'd change if I had me a magic wand: 1) the reservoir is NOT fillable from the top on the one we received. You do have to remove it, flip it and open the bottom to fill it. This is not a terrible chore but as another reviewer had stated that it was fillable from the top I'd been looking forward to that feature. I imagine that the other reviewer had the larger size but I'm only guessing… We purchased the medium. 2) The black bit at the top that covers what would be a hole in a top fillable design (but only works as a stabilizer for filling in this one) should function as a carrying handle but does not. I promise you bloody, torn, and broken fingernails if you try it. Don't try it. 3) The reservoir is rather opaque; as we've placed this out of the way and it's not backlit it's hard to see that it needs filling from across the room. I put a small black float in with the water in hopes of having a visible indicator but only just now and I haven't any results to share yet. Try it out, I think it'll work. We LOVE this product. A bargain at twice the price – no really, twice. Perhaps even thrice. You will not be disappointed.

Love this thing! I used a similar watering station from PetSmart for years and years with a permanently snapped-together base/bowl that was impossible to clean properly. I could see the mildew building up in the nooks and crannies but there was no real way to get to it without breaking the thing in half. It also tended to dump a lot of water on the floor when I flipped the jug over, no matter what I did (I didn't bother with the filters since they got nasty so fast). This one is super easy to clean, and I like that the bowl itself is metal and not plastic since it'll be less susceptible to micro abrasions that allow gunk to grow. The jug's lid has a spring valve that keeps it from dripping when I haul it across the kitchen, and has a solid carrying handle built into the top so I'm never worried about dropping it, unlike the old one that always felt like I was about to drop it. For my guys, the jug holds enough water to last a week, maybe a week and a half. The reflective metal bowl lets me see that hair and grit start to build up after a few days, so I take the half-full jug off and rinse the bowl out in the sink. When the jug is empty, I clean the bowl with dish soap and a brush. The jug's opening is a little too small to allow for easy cleaning of the inside - my hand won't fit in without scraping, and no dish brush I own is long enough to make it all the way to the other end. Hopefully nothing starts growing in there. I guess if it does I'll just let it soak with a mild bleach solution and rinse thoroughly. My only other gripe, and it's a small one, is that my cats and dog took some time to get used to the sounds this thing makes. They are all more or less used to it now, but continue to give it suspicious glances at the soft "glop glop glop" sounds as they drink. I tried the surprisingly affordable filter units but had to take them back out. Even my 80 pound lab-pit mix turned tail and ran when the soft glops turned into very loud and aggressive "GLOP! GLOP! GLOP!" sounds (and yes, I made sure to open the proper vent plug for filter use). I get it, it's physics, but still. If your pet's only water source is one they're terrified to use, that's a big problem. With the filters removed, they don't seem to mind it nearly as much. All in all, I think this waterer is just about ideal. Oh, I forgot to mention how good it looks! The black/silver/white looks better than the old thing, and the shape of the jug gives it a little bit of a stylish artsy flair. Almost like a functional sculpture, ya know, hanging out in the corner of the kitchen, like sculptures do.

I purchased the PetSafe Heathly Pet small after trying the pump fountain type units. These are often a pain to clean, collect hair, need replacement pumps and filters. This water station is something different and it is fantastic - no complicated parts, all dishwasher safe, no filter to clean, quality construction (parts feel thick and strong) PetSafe Healthy Pet Water Station, Small Best features: - Dishwasher safe - No filters to buy - Looks nice Pros: - If you've had similar items you know what I mean when I say being able to throw everything in the dishwasher is a big plus. Never worry about bacteria and associated issues, I just put mine in once a week, which is about how long the water lasts. - No filters to buy is a pro to me. Some people want the extra assurance these small filters offer, and they make filters for these. But they are not required and the unit works great without them. Instead of filters, see the weekly dishwasher comment above. PetSafe Healthy Pet Water Filter, 2-Pack, PFD17-11867 - Asthetics. Last in my list, but still a consideration if this is in the kitchen. It looks nice, stainless steel and black, not too obtrusive. Cons: - No real cons. The black lid serves no purpose other than aesthetics, yet it is removable for some reason. Opinion: Buy one if you need a pet water fountain / station. Small is good for one cat, medium for 2 cats or a dog, and the large is big so plan to put it somewhere out of the way. Filters are the same for all sizes. I've used many types, and this is easy to clean, only a plain old bowl would be easier. No moving parts or anything to break.

Dogs love it! Easy to fill and clean. Always plenty of fresh water for them.

I got 2, one of the broke, the spiral thing went missing to one of them so it's a bit inconvenient to refill but it still works, we had ours for a few months now and it held up pretty well, it's plastic and I could not find if they sell replacements other then the filters(witch I did not try), a replacement bowl and the spiral metal thing

Fantastic for my dogs. Great item.
