Title: Drinkwell 360 water fountain
Post by: Leanne on December 29, 2009, 13:01:17 PM
Our platinum water fountain has broken again, much to the boys dismay.

I've just been looking at the Drinkwell 360

But I don't know if its going to be far too big, I think Milo might prefer the flow on the 360 to the platinum, they are the same price though.

Anyone got one? Seen one?

Don'y know if I should post this but I saw an article where a woman in America blamed the 360 for electrocuting her cat. I can'y remember the full story. We have the Platinums and they are fine.

I think I remember you posting that before Mark.

Maybe we'll stick to the platinum again then.

If I remember rightly, the house was struck by lightning in which case I would imagine the current could have been carried through anything. The thing I liked about the platinum is the fact that there is a transformer so there is only a small current going into the motor. Our previous one was direct mains from memory but they may have changed that.

I tried to find the article but no luck - maybe they were threatened with legal action?

We have got the Platinum and the only bit I have had to replace was the resevoir because I struggled to get it clean enough - I like them because you can buy all the spare parts.

The one you are looking at looks amazing but with my Benglies and their love of water I can just imagine the mess  :rofl:
