Pioneer Pet Replacement Filters for Ceramic & Stainless Steel Fountains, Raindrop Filters (9 Filters)

I haven't found any knock offs or dupes of these filters so I continue to buy them. Get them on sale for best value. Do the job!

I have three dogs and two cats, and two of the Pioneer Stainless Steel pet fountains: one large, and one small. The Large version is a community fountain that serves all five animals, while the small version is tucked away in a "safe" place for the cats to use when they want to get away from the dogs. I'm VERY happy with these fountains... I've used and thrown away countless other fountains over the past several years. These are extremely easy to clean, which means they are often cleaned daily. These filters have a long life and they're very cost effective, unlike filters for other brands. They're also rather foolproof to install and use. I've read where other reviewers have taken these apart and replaced both the floss and the carbon so that they could be reused, however based upon our use, I just don't see that as necessary. With regular cleaning, the filters last a long time and they're inexpensive, so why go to the trouble of remanufacturing them? I don't know that this would be a savings to me.

Save Money and Keep Our Planet Green. Here's how to do it. Each of these little v-shaped filter cartridges is actually two plastic halves that snap together. Simply use a sharp kitchen knife to wedge between the two halves and work around the outside until the two halves come apart. Inside you will find two thin outer felt filters with a bunch of black rocks (activated charcoal) sandwiched in between. Keep the two felt filters but throw away the activated charcoal. Place the two felt filters and the two outer plastic halves in a bowl and soak in water with a splash of bleach added. Allow to soak for two hours. This kills all bacteria and mold that may have accumulated and helps clean the filter. Completely and throroughly rinse with water until no bleach smell. Allow to dry. Next go to Amazon, Wally World or your favorite pet supply store. In the fish and aquarium supply department you will find bulk activated charcoal for sale. You will recognize the black rocks and its cheap in loose bulk form. Next, just reassemble the filters with the felt on each side and pour the charcoal in one side, high enough to keep the felt pressed against the walls of the filter. Your done! I do this with about 6 filters at a time to save time and it allows me to change out my filters more frequently for cleaner water. Good Luck!

I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to help increase the amount of water their pet drinks. It is an excellent system, very easy to clean, and stylish. It is not a replacement for good hygienic care of your pet's drinking bowl. We have 2 dogs (with long hair) and 3 cats. They all drink out of the Pioneer Pet Fountain. I have found that the fountains filters last longer than advertised. I use reverse osmosis filtered water. However, I do clean the fountain completely every 2 to 3 days. It is a very easy system to maintain so this is hardly much more effort than washing a bowl. That is the real advantage of this system besides its good looks. The point of the fountain is to encourage the animals to drink more water. This it has done very well with all of our pets. It is not necessarily to simplify the pet keepers life by not having to clean a drinking bowl. The filters are to help remove particulates from the water and help prolong the life of the pump. The water still needs to be replaced regularly to be kept fresh. Pur or Brita type filters only filter primarily for what humans can taste. Those filters do not actually purify the water so various bacteria etc will still be present in the water. Once those filters remove much of the chlorine, the water left to sit will often become slimy as there is no longer adequate chlorine to keep it sanitary.

Been using this for awhile great product. Easy-to-use

Love these! The store where I bought the water fountain doesn't carry the replacement filters. I have iron (rust) in the water, so these really do clean the water well.

To be honest, my cat has no idea it's fresh or clean. He spends most of his time outside drinking out of puddles so I doubt he cares at all. But you know what? As the owner of arguably the best looking cat in America, the piece of mind I get knowing that Boris is drinking filtered water and not tap water like those working class cats, is well worth the price of these filters. I assume they're doing something, but I'm not about to drink the same water as my cat.

Fits my older pet fountain, made the mistake of ordering another brand that didn't fit in the pump case for my fountain. Will not make that mistake again!

I bought the pioneer raindrop fountain and once it arrived I realized that the flutters need to be changed every 4 weeks or so. The deal offered here was much cheaper than all the other alternatives and the shipping was fast and convienent. Also easy to change the filter.

Exactly as described. Each filter lasts 2 to 4 weeks as promised. If you change the water frequently, it will last longer

Excellent service and product. Thank you

Very nice product

Reasonably quick delivery, good product keeps the water in the fountain fresh for longer Cats love it
