PetSafe Healthy Pet Water Station, 128 oz, Stainless Steel Bowl, Medium | Gravity-Fed Pet Water Fountain Keeps Cats or Small Dogs Hydrated, Stainless Steel Bowl Is Dishwasher Safe

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.

Works well, easy to fill and install into the mount. The wide makes it easier to clean and sanitize. The level lines are easy to read to let you know how fast the dogs are drinking water so you can be on top of never letting it run dry.

Lasted 4 years before the metal had some caked on black mildew (?). You need to take good care of it, but great value!

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.

Easy to use, and solid quality plastics. My only complaint is that a scorpion managed to come inside and hide under it and almost stung me. But not the fault of the water station. (My Siamese opens the porch door on his own and sometimes brings friends in with him.)

Ok, so I have two of these, one of the small ones for my cats and one of the large ones for my dogs. I bought the cat one first and liked it so much that I bought the large one to replace my dogs' existing gravity water bowl. So for positives, I really like the removable metal bowl that makes for super easy cleaning. I also like that there is a spring loaded open/close valve on the water container so you don't spill water every where as you put it back on. But honestly, as much as I like it, there are several negatives that ultimately led me to knock two stars, one for the cat bowl and one for the dog bowl. For the smaller cat bowl, the problem is that it's too light and not wide enough. My one cat is obviously a jerk (because she is, after all, a cat) and she likes to knock the whole thing over, causing however much water is above the halfway mark to leak out and all over the floor. I solved this problem by putting the bowl on a leftover piece of flooring that we had, taking the metal bowl out, and running a screw down through the plastic bowl and into the piece of flooring. Now it's secured down and it's too wide for her to knock it over. So far anyway. For the dogs, the bowl is too shallow. We have two boxers, one at 70 pounds and one at 100 pounds, so they aren't small dogs. They spill water out of this thing CONSTANTLY with their drinking. I ended up getting a tray that's meant to go under a rabbits catch (that has 3 inch high walls) and set the water bowl down in that. They now fill the bottom of that thing and I have to dump it out periodically. Lastly, there are two problems for both. First the container is transparent but it's not that easy to see through, so all the animals tend to run out of water and I don't even notice it's getting low because unless it's in a really well lit area, it's hard to see the water level. Second, both the small and large container use the same opening size on the bottom with the same screw on lid. It's so small you can't get your arm in it to clean the inside of it. For the cat container that's not a huge deal because it's not too deep so you can still clean it. For the large bowl, I stick my hand in and i'm still at least a foot from being able to reach the top to clean it out. I end up just putting soap in it, putting the lid back on, and shaking it really hard and hoping that gets it cleaned. The opening should be bigger. So despite all my complaints, I'd still buy it again because of how easy it is to clean the metal bowl and the leak proof dispenser for when you're refilling it.

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 👍🏼👍🏼.

This is a nice size cat waterer. Like the stainless steel bowl. Cats seem to like it. Plenty of water capacity for my 2 cats.

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.
