Will these filters fit into an original Cat Drinkwell fountain? What is the shape of the filters, slightly tapered at one end or perfect rectangle? I like these filters because with the original filters, even if you rinse them before inserting them, I...

The filter is very slightly tapered, not that you would notice it. I had an original along with the Platinum for a while, and always had to look close to make sure which filter I was grabbing because they look a lot alike. I never tried to interchange them, but I think I could have. I replaced all my original with Platinum (I have several cats who like to drink from the falling water and the Platinum has more of a drop for them to work with), so I can't test if these filters would fit in an original. The packaging lists original as one of the foutnains the filter pack will work with.

I had the same problem. These filters are too wide to replace the "5" filters that are actually 4"3/8. Your website needs to point this out. Customers, read the small print.When I called to return, I was told I had to pay the shipping. Post office wanted $60 to return my $100 purchase! I donated them to Habitat for Humanity Restore.When i called

This filter will fit. The only problem that I have had is that sometimes the felt stripping on the ends is missing from some of these filters. This felt type stripping ensures a tight fit/seal. Check the images well before ordering.

Sorry Arthur...I think you're right! I ordered a spare filter back in June and thought nothing of it. Then, I went to change my filter this morning and the one they sent me was wrong. My old filter has an opening on both ends and the new one does not. Plus, the part number is different. Maybe it's a new design but I'm not putting it in until I find out. Thanks for making me aware of this. I wouldn't put your's in either. Please let me know if you find something out from the company.

No - the cartridges are much smaller. My original cartridges were around 18" in length. These are approximately 12-14" in length. That said, the replacement filter assembly fit okay and so far it has been working fine. Not sure if I'll need to backwash more frequently.

They are the size of a large index card 5" by 9" and fit the unit perfectly. I suspect you will get at least 3 months out of a filter. I have even rinsed them off in a pinch and put back in.

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.

Yes they are. FYI I ordered these replacement filters and they produced rust and ruined my cat's water dish. Luckily my kitty was not hurt! I still plan to write a letter to the company but for now I just went back to using a stainless steel dish instead. If you decide to order, I hope you have better luck than I did with these filters!

What kind of fountain? Theoretically, this filter was to fit my Drinkwell Zen fountain, but did not. I even tried to cut one down to fit, but it didn't work. My Drinkwell Zen fountain requires the 2-chamber filter found at http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00063496C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Although it says it's for the original Drinkwell fountain, the 2-chamber is what came with my Drinkwell Zen. f

Mine both worked for only a couple of months; they're junk :-( I finally made my own, less expensive and filters better. Try the tutorial here: http://lablouisianaboy.wordpress.com/2013/05/16/diy-cat-drinking-fountain-low-cost-easy-to-build/

my two cats are sensitive to the fluoride (did I spell that right? ha) that is in my/most people's water....their stools are firm and NORMAL now....when they drank my tap water, their stools were horribly loose....not to be too graphic....for me to buy a 97 cent gallon of purified water at my local publix and use the drinkwell filters has made all the difference in the world.....

The box I purchased had two filters in it. The prefilter material is a little taller than the filter in my 50250 but it wraps exactly around like the original. I trimmed it to exact height of filter and have about 1/2 the filter height left. So with the two pack, I am hoping to save the clippings from the two to put together a third. I wished they made them to fit. no cutting required.

I ordered the replacement filters on Amazon when I purchased the cat box. I haven't had to use them yet, but I assumed they fit right into place. They are not the shape you see here, because I believe they tuck into the top. That is just the portion of the filter you see. Order the Catit replacement filters. They will fit.

I use these in my fountain for cats, or small dogs. Don"t know what size the filters are in larger models

I found that World Market sells something similar, so the filters they sell work. It's not the double/different shapes, only a round one. But seemed to work fine. Good luck.

The replacement foam filters in the picture are compatible with the following fountain models: Ceramic Lotus, Ceramic Pagoda, Ceramic Avalon, and Stainless360. I copied this information off of the box of filters.
