Drinkwell pet fountain--help?
Since I didn't get an answer adding onto someone else's post, I'll try this.
I'm considering the water fountain for my cats since I'll be vacationing this summer and want to make it easier for the pet-sitter. I can't figure out the difference between the regular type and the two sizes that have the additional "reservoir". If anyone can enlighten me so I can make an intelligent purchase, I'd welcome it! byw, I have two cats... Kirsten |

I'm not sure how to explain the differences between them, I have 3
drinkwells but only one has the additional reservoir on the back of it. It's just a separate unit that attaches to the back of any drinkwell fountain. It might be best for you to get the one with the reservoir with it (you can always remove it later, and the pet fountain will work fine without it) and show the pet sitter how to fill the reservoir, but tell her to only do it when the bottle is empty, or easier still, to not fill the bottle unless the fountain is making 'spitting' noises - which is what it does when the water level gets too low. -- The ONE and ONLY lefthanded-pathetic-paranoid-psychotic-sarcastic-wiseass-ditzy former-blonde in Bloomington!

All the petsitter would need to do is fill the bottle with water, probably every other day if you only have two cats. BTW - your cats will love the fountain! -- -Kelly kelly at farringtons dot net Check out www.snittens.com |

If anyone can enlighten me so I can make an intelligent purchase, I'd welcome it! byw, I have two cats... Kirsten Drinkwell just has one basic fountain. The basic unit comes with the pump & bowl/filter unit. You can also buy a separate reservoir to attach to it. It's pretty much just a plastic jar & platform that hooks into the back of the basic Drinkwell. There are two reservoir sizes, 50 & 70 oz. I have the 50 oz. attachment at work and at home, where there are two cats each. When the basic Drinkwell unit is filled and the 50 oz. reservoir is filled and attached, it lasts the two cats about a week. This is a picture of the basic fountain: http://www.petco.com/product_info.as...5&dept_id=%2D2 If you don't get one of the reservoirs, water would have to be added to the fountain every day or two.
