PetSafe Healthy Pet Water Station - Small, 64 oz Capacity - Gravity Pet Water Fountain, Automatic Cat Water Fountain, Dog Water Fountain, Water Dispenser - Removable Stainless Steel Bowl Included

Convenient. Use everyday to provide fresh water for my free roam fur baby bunny (its not just for cats and dogs). It's a good quality,toxic free plastic, not flimsy. Gravity fed, it functions as it should and Fills the bowl and stops when it is supposed to..although there is a trick to setting it up right to avoid over flows which another user's video tip was a big help in avoiding over flow mishaps.. which is simply leaving the flap on the lid open before inserting it into the bowl base. I Like the healthy anti bacterial properties of the stainless steel bowl.

This holds just the tight amount of water for my f small fur babies. I clean and refill once per week. The stainless steel insert gomes out easy for cleaning.The filter is easy to use and replace.

I had issues with my cats liking to see the bubbles with the old water bowl, so they would headbutt it and eventually knock it over, water everywhere. I came home daily to a huge puddle on the floor. Now I have little water spilling issues though still some. When it gets down to the bottom they start to headbutt this one, but it doesn't knock over. It does by nature of water spill out as it splashes up over the sides. I remedied this by getting a pet place mat with sides, much like the snow/water trapper car mats that are out there. The water stays in the mat, and the bowl doesn't leave the mat until it's completely empty at which time I'm fully aware they are telling me to put water in it. I try to get it beforehand but it's hard to determine sometimes.One doesn't like to stick his head in the bowl to drink and instead prefers to cup his paw and attempt to drink from it. Why IDK? I have another one that tries to do the same thing with food. Though cute to watch, these two are mess makers. But the mat once again mostly contains the mess. This odd habit makes the bowl dirty by the end. My favorite thing is how easy this is to wipe up. Others before it had a lip that made it difficult to clean because you can't see under it. The metal is just a couple wipes away from good to go. I have yet to put it in the dishwasher though it was a selling point. Just can't see spending that much time without the water bowl and using a different one.I had the half gallon one, but ended up getting the gallon one when I felt like I was filling up too regularly when the third cat arrived. The gallon one initially was on the second floor, and half gallon near the food on the first floor. I had to rotate that because the gallon one would go "stale", and the half gallon was being tortured via constant headbutting. Now they are refilled equally I'd say.Removed a star because I find it odd the top is a screw off top to nowhere. I imagine this is like this because they have a food version and I'm guessing this is where you fill it. However for my cat sitters while I'm on vacation, this is confusing. I shouldn't have to explain how to use a water bowl. Otherwise, I've had these for quite a while now (probably a year), and no functionality issues.

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.
