How often do you change the pellets? The pads?

I find with my two cats I follow the 1/week for pads and 1/month for litter, like the company recommends with 1 cat. The pad is really full at the end of the week, but still holds everything. Your kitties might pee more, which would mean changing the pad a little more. I find the pellets start smelling around the 3.5 week mark, so 4 weeks works great.

How long has it been in there? I change mine once a week, it gets a little bloated but I have never noticed the systems you describe. I know the box says every two weeks but but I have had great results doing it every Sunday.

I change mine every 2-3 years, depending how much you use it. I use it about once a month for the large kitchen area.

The pellets aren't meant to fill the box... just barely cover the bottom. Too many pellets and the urine won't be able to drain through to the pad below as it should. Just use one bag for an initial fill and after each complete clean out. If you end up scooping out some of the pellets with the poop, you can add a bit back over time before the next complete clean.

I usually change them about once a month. I rinse them off when I change the fountain once a week. Sometimes I get longer.

The filter should be changed 1 time per month if you have 1-2 animals and more often if you have more than that. If you have any questions, please contact us at tina@pioneerpet.com

Yes, there are 40 pads per order... we have 2 boxes & change the pads 1X a week, so we use about 8 pads a month...we get an auto-ship order every 4 months and always have pads on hand. We do not change the pellets every month, we live in Florida and our litter boxes are out of the way on a screened porch, depending on the weather, we go 2 to 4 months between pellet change. Our cats love our cat flap door insert for our sliding glass door and spend a lot of time on the porch year round so it's a great place for the litter boxes.

there are four pads to each of the smaller packages, enough to last four weeks. I have one cat and only have to change the pad once a week for the one cat. The pellets last four weeks. If you have multiple cats, the Breeze system would not be practical.

i have an adult turtle that eats the pellets once a day. I filled it halfway two weeks ago and set the opening at halfway and it's still going.

Yes that quantity is correct. 10 pkg (4 pads/pkg). 40 total. I just noticed another one of my other cats is now using the box too! I noticed the reply from Janice regarding pads and pellets. Totally agree about the pellets. I don't change the pellets that often either . I think changing the pad is the where the majority of the odor is ...changing it week only is the secret for me .. But they only pee in this box. It was a great purchase... Thinking about buying another for upstairs.Good luck! Hope it works for you as well as it does for my cats!

The ones i have purchased opened up fairly easy. You might try tapping around the edges with a small hammer to see if it will loosen up. Then apply a little pretroleum jelly on the rim to help keep it from sticking again. Just don't get any on the pellets. Hope this helps.

I have two cats and replace the pellets when I feel they are "getting old". Sometimes I replace them more than once a month and sometimes not. I do tend to add pellets when they are getting low. I don't notice that they smell or retain odor but as I said, sometimes they seem to need changing.

Wipe down the metal parts with oil when done shooting. I can't remember if it came with pellets. We did buy some separately.

I change mine every two months. I do friend water changes as I have two fire bellied toads and crickets and meal worms always seem to get in the water. I also check the miter once a week as debrise clogs the intake. But I love this product no problems with it at all. You can also use bio bags they are a little cheaper.

Cheaper dog pads may work but not sure how using different pellets would workout.. You don't want to get something that's going to go through and fall to the bottom

I have two rabbits that share a large litter box, and I change the litterbox at least once a day. You dont need much litter though, as the pellets expand with moisture so one 26lb bag lasts around a month in my case - but I have two 5lb bunnies, not a cat or a dog.

Depends on the pellets used, the better pellet the less residue. But overall quick simple, oil it up and keep shooting. I got at least 100 shots in before needs cleaning.
