Do you know whether I could use clumping litter in these trays?

If you are using the scoopfree do not use the clumping. It can jam the mechanism and burn out the motor. Walmart carries an inexpensive crystal litter that works great.

Yes, it does not work out.. I wanted to too, but the arm that goes thru the litter to clean out the poop, just gets clogged.. then it got stuck, not good... I found that the crystal litter made the urine turn to powder, kind of and sift to the bottom of the litter tray!Hope this helps

You could, however urine is what clumps and tends to be large clumps. With the crystals, the liquid soaks into the crystals while the solids are raked up under the purple lid. If you use the clumping littler you would need to clean it just as often because there isnt enough room. With the cystals I dont touch the box for at least two weeks and I have two cats.

I don't recommend doing so. There is a rack that combs through the litter that is meant for moving the cat poop but not necessarily a clump of litter.

It is important that you use non clumping cat litter, otherwise it won't work

You can. However, the tidy cat pads are a perfect fit. The pellets are okay. I think using a different brand my work fine as long as they don't fall through the grate.

the whole tray is slotted. I don't have any idea how big pine pellets are though. Take a look at a bag of safflower seeds and if the pine pellets are bigger than those you should be alright to use it. Don't use anything smaller than a safflower seed though, the smaller litter would fall through the slots but would not make it into the removable bin and you would have to clean the bottom portion of the box more often.

It's really hard finding dust free litter that works in these machines. They only work as well as the litter you put in it. If it doesn't clump enough, there's leftover dirty litter that broke apart small enough to go through the grate. Tidy Cats works best in my situation, not the best at clumping (that would be scoop free, which is like a sandstorm of dust) but also no where near as dusty as its competitors. Hope that helps.

I would say no, the holes are too small to let pine litter sift through. The holes are only about 5mm.

I use mine with paper litter but you could ask them. Here's a linkhttp://www.preciouscat.com/contact-us/

I use non clumping litter and love this product.... the opening is fairly large, i cant imagine it would be a problem....they would have to be some pretty large clumps !!!

a metal scoop works much better on clumping litter; I use the hanger on the side of my crate to hold my metal scooper.

It is not recommended to use other litter. The only litter I'd recommend besides the included crystals would be maybe another brand of crystals. But, I don't think that would help you because I think all crystal litters are basically the same. Clumping litter probably won't be good for the litter box since it will clump urine, filling your box even faster and non clumping litter may cause an issue with smell since it doesn't absorb odors nearly as well as the crystal litter.

Actually the beauty of the system are the pre=packed trays which are sold with the system and as replacements. Honestly, even though the base of the tray is a laminated chip board paper, i wouldn't keep it around for use with another litter. Eventually the urine will permeate the paper tray.In this case: Use as directed is a good path to follow.

I think the crystals would clog it up. I use a good clumping litter and it works great for me.

I don't, I think you would be difficult to find them to fit. I Always have done before but the finish does not scratch. I also purchased a canopy which helps to keep the litter inside.

They should work, as long as they clump when wet. Otherwise, you'll empty the litter box and have to add fresh litter (and empty the litter tray) every time you sift.

I am not sure what you are asking. Do you mean will they fit in those litter boxes that are self-cleaning? I don't know but would guess that they are too fragile to have something scraping them every hour. These boxes are sturdy enough to use many times, but they are lightweight.

Yes you can, but make sure you get the same exact trays for this machine. It has a slight oval shape not the round or square shape of most. Just need to make sure they will stack.

You can. We did for a while, you just have to shake it or stir pellets around to get the "sawdust" to drop through to the tray. It overflows very quickly -- would work great if the box had a deep tray to catch the used pieces. We went back to the original pretty soon after, just wasn't worth the mess.
