Why are there 2 types of filters (2 vs. 6 chamber) and are they interchangeable? Have a Platinum and Original and considering a Zen.

Thank you for your question! The standard filters have the same amount of charcoal as the premium filters but the 6 compartments in the premium filters help evenly distribute charcoal for long-lasting filtration. Both are recommended to be changed every 2 to 4 weeks and either will work with the Drinkwell Original, Platinum, and Zen fountains.

As long as they are the same dimensions, I don't see why they wouldn't be interchangeable. I have a 6 chamber and I think it really just changes the way the water flows through... I think it would be just fine.

Because that is for two different Drinkwell Fountain, but I think that doesn't matter, both work the same form.

When my order came in, I noticed that the filter looked a little different than my old filter, but it does fit okay and I have been using it without any problems.

Mine is the #2 size and has been fine from day one. Sorry I am unable to offer any knowledge of the #6 version. I like using the #4 filters with my #2 size however.

The filers are slightly tapered at one end. Do not know about the originals. I have a Drinkwell Fountain Platinum. The tapered filters fit perfectly for that model.

I have not changed the filter in my units yet. I have cleaned them, meaning I have knocked the dust off them. But I have not replaced them. There is a small somewhat fragile one in there that you want to be careful with as I guess there is no replacement. The other is larger, maybe paper although I don't remember for sure. This is the one I have knocked the dust off.

I have the blue and green. Both are the same just different color models. Both have the same filters. Cost varies from time to time and from seller.

Check the measurements. It is usually cheaper to buy a new filter then replacing individual parts. I bought my C-900 for 290 ish New.

On my MR2, there is no difference. Some owners even recommend the larger filter instead of the shorter one

The "E" is the E core type filter. They have a plastic core rather than metal and a flat plate on top that helps you get the filter on the threads easier. We see no problems with either design and they are interchangeable.

I checked out my Fave YouTube pool video channel and he showed a DE60 quad, the filters looked the same size but I'm not sure if the material is the same as a Standard cartridge filter, mine is only cartridge, not hybrid DE. Looks the same but I'm not a pool pro. I suggest this channel search Mrdgvb1, helped me out. Hope this helps

Yes. These 2 filters are 'interchangeable' if the application has enough space for the longer body of 14610. If it's a struggle to get a filter wrench past the top of a 14612, it's probably not going to be practical. But if there is room, the extra filter media & capacity are advantageous.

The EZ-1 filters are mainly for cleaning up the taste of the water, my unit has done wonders for the taste of our water, we have been very happy with it. And YES any of the other EZ filters are compatible with this system, so if you want a higher level of filtration you can just replace your EZ-1 with whatever other EZ filter you want.

It says in the description that it is compatible with Original, Platinum, and Big Dog Fountains. So as the 2-chamber filters are also compatible with Original, Platinum, and Big Dog fountains. I believe they call Original - the 50oz fountain you are asking about.

This is actually the first time I see a Zen Water System but upon reviewing it looks like the Propur filter will fit the Zen systems. I could be wrong though.

The filters come off easily, too easily in my opinion. Not sure if you mean different types/versions or just different of the same kind. They pop off easily so they can be changed, not sure if different kinds fit however.

The upper chamber has 4 pre-drilled holes for filters, 2 of them are filled with removable rubber plugs. The unit comes with 2 filters, but if you wanted to use 4, just remove the plugs and attach 2 more filters.

Filters can go on the Barlow or eyepiece. Stacking them maybe useful or not. It won't hurt to try. The moon filter is really the only one I've used regularly.

I see another reviewer has mentioned an issue with the basket fit and fit problems with solid filters. This is my issue also. I like to use a gold filter...whent a paper one inside that. They keep altering the design of their basket, but newer ones are even worse than older ones. So when I replaced the last one and couldnt get my gold filter to fit, I did swap out the plastic pieces from the old unit. This was better, but not perfect.
