 $3 cheaper at Pet Mountain & you can replace the activated carbon yourself.Jan 09, 2011
By Gork5000"
The identical filter pack cost $6.04 at Pet Mountain so it's a lot cheaper there. And since the filters are nothing more than activated carbon you can open up the plastic filter case and replenish the used activated carbon with new AC you can buy at any pet store. It's sold in bulk at a very cheap price.
These activated carbon filters will certainly remove a lot of impurities from your water so the concept of having a filter to clean your pet's water is a great idea. I've always filled my pet's water supplies with water filtered through an end of a kitchen faucet filter so maybe that's all the filtering pets really need. But these activated carbon filters will give you the added assurance that your furry family will be drinking ultra clean and good tasting water. Just like humans, animals deserve the very best too.
It's always a good idea to periodically clean your pet's water container and after cleaning thoroughly rinse the container with a lot of fresh water. A good tip during cleaning is to add a tablespoon of bleach to your cleaning water to kill any bacteria in the container. Just make sure you rinse away all traces of the bleach after cleaning. Instead of buying expensive cleaning tools designed specifically for pets you could instead use old toothbrushes or foam cleaning brushes from your local dollar stores. They are much cheaper and do the job just as well or better.
One last note: If you are a do-it-yourself type person you can not only save a lot of money by refilling these water filters with cheap activated carbon, you also decrease the amount of (almost) indestructible plastic in landfills. You can recycle the original plastic filter cases over and over again. So with just a minimum of effort and ingenuity you can help to keep our planet cleaner and save money while doing it. A win-win situation. All the best...

 My Cats Drink More Water NowJan 20, 2011
By Natalie Dressed
I bought a PetSafe water system for my two cats but didn't buy the filters for it. Frankly, I thought the idea of filtered water for indoor house pets was overkill; however, my water system's 2010 quality report changed my mind.
After researching online for the best price, I bought one two-pack box of these filters from Amazon on trial. I saved a lot of money by doing so; they also arrived quickly. To my delight, the cats began drinking more water right away. Good hydration is essential for all cats, and especially for the males' narrow urethra.
I now keep several PetSafe filters in reserve; I change it every other month. Trust me, this is much cheaper than the vet bills to treat a beloved pet's damaged kidneys, bladder or urethra.
One caveat: New filters are messy to handle due to excess charcoal. This is why I gave this product four stars. How I deal with it: Immerse the filter in a glass of water for a few minutes, then wipe off the dark charcoal streaks before inserting it into the PetSafe device. I also wash out and wipe down the device during the first 2-3 refills to remove a very light charcoal film; after that, no problem.

Must have if you own the PetSafe Water SystemFeb 18, 2010
By ~ Z ~
Using the PetSafe water filters with the PetSafe Healthy Pet Water Station Dog and Cat Water System with Stainless Steel Bowl is optional, the water system can be used without or without the filters. I chose to use the filters since we have well water. The filters come in a pack of two, but be very careful removing them from the packaging. The black carbon dust is everywhere from being bounced around during shipment. I am not able to get the filter looking squeaky clean, but once you run it under water as directed a majority of the carbon dust does away. The filtered water has no odor and looks very clean with no hard water deposits. I only wished they lasted a little longer since it states you should replace the filter every 6 to 8 weeks.

Shipped fast, Easy to install. Works wellMar 13, 2010
By NoSleep2Nite4Me
"MCO"
Shipping was fast and this filter was very easy to install in the Petsafe Water system (instructions are on the cap of the waterer). You get two filter per package so the price was very reasonable. Upon first opening and before installing in your water filter, you do have to run it under the water until all the loose charcoal is gone (instructions also say this). Overall, our dogs seem to like the water.
 Do not buy!!Mar 01, 2012
By Daisy3
Dont buy this product! It leaves residue inside the container. My dog was getting a stomach ach and I could figure it out until it was time to change her water. I went back to her old container and gave her bottled water and what a difference. Please don't buy!
