Where do you buy your Drinkwell filters? I checked online w/
PetsMart & Petco and they both now sell their 3-packs for $7.99 plus S&H.
One of them (can't remember which) used to sell the 3-pack for $3.99 plus
S&H.

So I was wondering if someone could share a good site for purchasing
those?

I have an older style drinkwell; so I'm not sure if the filters I use are
the same, but they are just aquarium filters. I bought some a few years ago
from the online store Noah's Pets (noahspets.com), best price at the time.
These are black on one side and whitish on the other; nearly rectangular,
maybe about 4"x6"? Ah, they still have them, 3.99 for three. Item number
10443 (can't feasibly post url).

HTH,
Rebecca

Ok, so my curiousity got the best of me and I found an actual filter/package
here at home. They are the Hagen Dynaflo 1 filters. 4x6 is too big, more
like 2-3 by 4". Looks like the style hasn't changed. 3.99 is probably the
best price; I thought maybe if you are looking for them at aquarium shops
you might have more success since that's their original purpose.

Cheers,
Rebecca

I ordered a bunch of them when there was a free shipping special on
Petco.com but I can't remember how much they were.

Question for you Drinkwell owners:
Does your water get foamy when the filter is in? When I don't have a
filter in the Drinkwell, the water is clear. With a filter (and I've
changed it just to be sure it wasn't defective or something) the water
gets a foam coating at the top. I add water (spring water) regularly and
take the thing apart weekly for cleaning, and do a rince-type cleaning
every couple of days.

I haven't had this problem with mine.. Do you rinse the filters before you
put them in? Do you use soap when you clean it?
Hmm.. wierd.

Yes.

Yes, but I wash and rinse it just as well as when I have tried not using
the filters. I thought maybe it was my water here - I don't drink it
myself, so in the water sources that aren't the Drinkwell, I use spring
water. I thought with the filter I could use tap. Now with all of this,
we all drink spring water. But weird, spring water also makes the bubbly
film in the drinkwell dish when a filter is in. Spring water, or even tap
water without a filter is fine and clear. I thought it must be the
filters but if this doesn't happen with you guys, I'm not sure what is
going on.
