Drinkwell Platinum Replacement Pump - Reliable OEM Replacement - Drinkwell Platinum Pet Water Fountain Accessory - Includes Power Adaptor - Quiet Operation for a Calm Pet Environment

Easy to install,works real good

After about 8 years the water pump inside my PetSafe Drinkwell Platinum water fountain was starting to go bad. Every time I temporarily disconnected the power supply the pump would not start back up after I re-connected the power supply and cleaning the pump only temporarily fixed the issue. So I ordered this replacement part. Since this part is sold by PetSafe it appears to be an OEM replacement part. This product is an AC water pump and it does come with the needed AC power supply for it. The original water pump that came with my water fountain was an AC water pump and so its power supply was also AC. While looking for replacement water pumps I noticed some non-OEM pumps were DC water pumps. This is something to keep in mind if you intend to buy a 3rd party replacement water pump that is DC but you intend to use the original AC power supply that came with the water fountain. This configuration isn't going to work and will probably fry the water pump motor. An AC pump needs an AC power supply and similarly a DC water pump needs a DC power supply. The OEM replacement water pump has the same AC specs as the original water pump it replaced so I could have used the original power supply that came with my water fountain but I instead chose to use the new power supply that came with the replacement pump. After I installed the replacement water pump and turned on the fountain, the replacement water pump was EXTREMELY loud. To the point I was afraid it would scare my cats away from it. The original pump never got as loud as the replacement pump. However I let the pump run for about 24 hours and the next day I could barely hear the pump running and all I could hear was the sounds of the water splashing. The replacement pump was running at the same noise level as the original water pump and I think it may even be quieter. So if after you install the replacement water pump it seems too loud to you, I think it needs to be broke in and you need to run it for about a day or two before it breaks in and gets quiet.

This work great!. The one that came with water bowl gave up. Our water is very hard so things do not last long. This one is still going!

worked right out of the box. just as good as the original. would recommend.

EDIT: I got a year's use of the pump before it began making the grinding noise that others have mentioned. However, just before ordering another (because I love the PetSafe fountain itself and am hesitant to try another brand), I came across a review that mentioned how cleaning the pump solved the problem. Low and behold, that's all the issue was for me, too. Cat fur had tangled around the interior mechanism of the pump. The pump was super easy to disassemble, clean, and reassemble, and I'm so happy all is well again AND I saved money. Perfect replacement for a PetSafe pump that lasted close to ten years. I'm very pleased, and I definitely recommend it.

I just ordered two more of these Drinkwell pumps. This will be my 3rd and 4th combined. Looking at my previous two orders, the order dates show that this product lasts about 14 months average. I’ve had the original purchased Platinum Drinkwell fountain for about 14 years and I clean it thoroughly once a month or twice a month during the summer. Now, I can see why people complain that it lasts for only a few months but, keeping it clean is the key. This replacement pump isn’t as durable as the original factory one that comes with the fountain but, it’s still cheaper than buying a new fountain outright. I believe the pumps burn out due to leaving it continuously running 24/7 and gunk and cat hair does get into the inside the pump. I found that taking the flow adjustment nozzle off and placing the pump motor in shallow water with some vinegar and then turning it on helps push out buildup. I do this one every few months. I will tell you, sometimes nasty black stuff comes out, yuck. I believe the last one is on its last leg because, as there’s cat hair wrapped around the propeller shaft. It still works but, I have to “jump start” it by moving the propeller. Cleaning it by the way I mentioned didn’t help so I think hair wrapped around the shaft is the culprit. So, it’s not perfect but, I still like my Drinkwell fountain and will keep buying the replacement pumps since it’s easier that way.

Works perfectly and quietly. The 5V USB versions did not last long and were noisy.

Exactly what is says. My original drinkwell platinum pump must have lasted 10 years. So it was a no brainer to keep the setup and replace the pump finally. Works and fit perfect.

I have one of the original style model pet fountains, well over 10 years old. The pump finally gave out and the closest I could find was this one. I was fairly confident that it would operate OK but when it arrived the extension lever was much bigger in diameter and length and wouldn't clear the opening. The little drop down "fence" would also not fit over it. What to do? The pump itself is a perfect fit except for this oversized control arm (I still don't think it does much anyway). So in the end the solution was to simply remove it! Now the pump settles in nicely into its proper spot and I can replace the "fence". The pump works as expected and the fountain appearance is the same except no lever sticking out. The intake is wide open and the flow is good and strong. So far no issues but I expect that it may tend to clog up a bit faster, but no problem you have to clean it anyway.

Es genial

Saved me buying a whole new product

Replacement pump for Petsafe Platinum Cat Water Fountain - last one lasted 4.5 years. Works as it is supposed to with no noise from the pump. Exactly the same as the previous pump so fits perfectly.

Perfect fit for my fountain
