You won’t have a hard time using this pet fountain.

Assembly, cleaning, maintenance ñ all instructions in the product manual are fairly straightforward and simple to follow.

How It Works

The Drinkwell Ceramic Avalon Pet Fountain houses a motor pump in the middle of the fountain.

The housing has ridges at its base where water from the bowl can seep through and reach the pump.

The pump then gulps the water and ejects it through a charcoal filter until it reaches the opening at the top of the fountain.

This continuous process aerates and filters the water to make it safer for your pets to drink.

The pet fountain has 2 filters in place: the foam filter and the charcoal filter.

The motor pump rests on a foam filter which prevents hair and large dirt particles from entering the pump.

The charcoal filter, on the other hand, removes unwanted odor and taste from the drinking water.

This ceramic pet fountain is easy to assemble.

Owners didn’t have any trouble during assembly and they were able to quickly set the thing up.

All the instructions you need are detailed in the product manual and that includes maintenance, disassembly, and operating guides.

There are also supplemental online videos you can seek for help regarding the assembly and maintenance of the product.

Maintenance and manufacturer support

The foam filter should be replaced every 1-2 months while the charcoal/carbon filter needs to be changed every 2-4 weeks.

To prolong the life of the foam filter, rinse it thoroughly with water.

If you have more pets at home, you may have to clean your filters more often to keep the water safe and clean to drink.

When buying replacements for your carbon filter, make sure you get the one compatible with Avalon, Sedona, and Pagoda pet fountain sets which come in packs of 4.

You can wash the foam and carbon filters using water but never use soap to clean them since you may not be able to completely rinse it off the tiny pores of the filters.

The impeller and other detachable plastic parts of the motor pump can be cleaned in the dishwasher.

Make sure you brush them well to remove any dirt sticking to the corners of the components.

PetSafe has a separately sold cleaning kit specially designed to reach hard to clean areas of their pet fountains.

You can opt to buy this or just manually scrub the components using dishwashing soap and water.

PetSafe’s customer service representatives can be reached 6 times a week.

You can reach them through chat, email, or call if you have any questions or concerns regarding their products.

How your pet might react to the Avalon pet water dispenser

You won’t have trouble making your pets get used to this pet fountain since its circular shape is similar to an ordinary pet bowl.

Cats love to drink from a flowing source which makes this product more lovable as its fountain lets water flow in 2 directions.

Dogs won’t also have a problem using this product because they can drink water from either the upper or the lower dish.

The only major downside of this product is its weak motor pump.

Many have reported how their pet fountains lasted only for a couple of months before dying out.

This happened even though they said they carefully followed the cleaning instructions provided by PetSafe.

A few owners were also dismayed with how fragile and susceptible to chipping the ceramic bowl is.

Many owners, however, are happy with how easy it is to clean the product.

Slime and saliva are easily removed and there are no sharp-angled corners where grime may stick and propagate.

All corners are easily accessible to brush, making it easier to prevent dirt from piling up on the product.
