(More customer reviews)My elderly (17+) cat has become so fastidious and unpredictable in his water habits that I thought there was little chance he would use the PetSafe Healthy Pet Water Station. In order to get a definitive answer, I set up video surveillance to record any time there was activity near the water station. I set it up in a location where there is usually a small bowl of water (I keep more than one around the house).
He ignored it completely the first couple of days, and then started walking over to check it out. That went on for a day or two before he actually drank from it. Last night, he used it six times. Of course, he could go back to ignoring it next week.
The PetSafe Healthy Pet Water Station (medium) is a good practical design. I live in an area with very hard water; the removable stainless steel bowl will make it much easier to clean off the mineral deposit ring that forms every few weeks. I used a Petmate Fresh Flow for years; removing mineral deposits from the bowl and ramp without scratching the plastic was tedious, time-consuming job (multiple applications of Lime Away).
Minor issues: The size and shape of the bowl in relation to the reservoir bottle can make it a tight fit for cats because their foreheads have to get so close to the water. My cat does not seem bothered by this on the medium size, but might have a problem with the small size. I think the filters may be a little pricy; since the water I'm using has already been through a PUR filter, I may forego replacing the filter when the time comes.
Follow-up [a few weeks later]: Mr. Cat continues to use the PetSafe Healthy Pet Water Station, but only if I remove and rinse out the removable stainless steel bowl every 24-48 hours. I kept the video surveillance up for a couple of weeks after the original review and noted that, as time passed, he became increasingly reluctant to use the Water Station and would eventually just ignore it. I try to rinse it out every night just before going to bed; this minimizes the chances of an urgent 3 AM discussion on the water bowl situation.
