 A better alternative to fresh flow filtersApr 20, 2011
By V. Cameron
I used to buy my petmate fresh filters online to save me time from going to the pet store but after the last few reviews I was hesitant to use these again. Especially when I read one person found worms in their filter. After doing much research I decided to take the advice of another reviewer and try using aquarium filters. I found that the Tetra Whisper Bio-Bag small sized filters will fit in the petmate fresh flow filter, which you can find on Amazon. When inserting the filters just squeeze the sides in a little. After using the Tetra filters I saw a vast improvement. There was so much gunk caught in the filter that I have never seen with the petmate fresh flow filters. Their water is so clean and pure now. I will continue to use the Tetra filters until Petmate can get there act together and provide a better quality filter. Good luck trying to beat an aquarium filter.

Tetra Whisper Bio-Bag changed the filter and it's now a hard plastic and it's very difficult to get it into the slot. I thought I found the best alternative but now I am going to have to find another filter that will work in that slot. I will keep experimenting on filters until I found the best one and hopefully they don't change the construction of their product on me again.

 Truly DisgracefulAug 22, 2010
By Michael S. Foster
"Snookums"
To my mind, there is little more annoying than when a company trots out an "upgrade" product that turns out to be much worse than the original.
These filters render the fountains UNUSABLE in my area (yes, 'tis likely different areas are prone to different microorganisms which may be handled more or less effectively by different products). I get algae sliming up the works within one or two days. God knows what kind of bacteria are thriving in commensal or symbiotic relationships with this algal slime...
I am back to running my faucets day-and-night because my cats will not drink out of bowls. They USED to love drinking out of the Pet Fountain, but will not use it for more than a day or two after it has been fully disassembled and cleaned with bleach.
A few quality control tests would have easily allowed the manufacturer to realize what we have all realized... this product is completely ineffective and a wretched down-grade from the previously-supported filter.
Whoever was involved in developing this product has brought ignominious disgrace upon a formerly beloved company...

Reduction in QualityJan 07, 2010
By F. Fischer
We have been using PetMate filters with our Petmate Fresh Flow Delux waterer for several years and to keep a supply on hand ordered these because they were the best price. We're not impressed with the quality in relation to the filters we still have on hand. It looks like Pet Mate changed suppliers for these and went with the "Lowest bid"! I checked the smaller packages at our local Petco and they are the same, so don't know if the old style are available anymore. Carbon particles smaller, filters smaller (less woven fiber content) and will be less effective and likely not last as long.

Weak replacementsFeb 11, 2010
By D. Adamski
These filter replacements do not have the same hard plastic skeleton that the other brands do. These have a weaker cardboard skeleton. I was surprised to find the Petmate name-brand filters to be lesser in quality than the off-brand options in the local pet stores. These work, just not for long.

Horrible update on filtersJun 07, 2010
By D. Robnett
These new filters are horrid. They hardly have any charcoal in them, they slime up quickly and don't last long at all. A very CHEAP change in product.
