Question

Can charcoal filters for cat drinking fountains be cleaned and if so with what?

Answer 1

They can't be cleaned - they need to be replaced at least every 2 months (for one cat household) and every month for multiple cats household. However, if you use filtered water from your tap or bottle water, you won't need to use the filter at all. I find it much cheaper this way.

Answer 2

if you go to the petmate website there is an instruction manual for cleaning water pumps and they have replacement filters for cheep
