A MUST HAVE Addition To The Drinkwell Platinum Pet Fountain
These are an essential and necessary addition to purchasing the Drinkwell Platinum Pet Fountain. Although the brushes could have been made a bit better, they are sufficient enough to get the job done of cleaning your cat's pet fountain.

I would recommend cleaning your cat's pet fountain at least once per week depending on the type of water in your area and number of cats you have. I have also found that by placing the pet fountain in an area that is relatively free of dust and debris that it keeps the water cleaner for much longer. Don't put the fountain next to an outside door or window that is opened frequently. Also refrain from putting it in an area that see a lot of foot traffic as this tends to increase the chances of debris getting into the water.

overall a good product
I bought this kit for my "Big Dog Fountain" The two smaller brushes are excellent, and do a great job cleaning their designated spaces within the fountain (the motor and intake areas). I am a little dissappointed with the big brush though. The bottle brush part of it is too stiff to really be helpful, and the sponge part at the end is too big to fit in the spaces that need it. I have better luck with a soapy sponge and an old toothbrush when cleaning most parts of the fountain.

Does what it supposed to
My cat likes the Drinkwell's waterfall. However, without occasional cleaning, the waterfall becomes a trickle due to the collection of grime and mildew in the motor and water tunnel. The cleaning kit accomplishes the goal of keeping the waterfall strong. Before the cleaning kit, I would use a disposable chopstick to poke out the grime and mildew in the motor and water tunnel. The brushes fit where they are supposed to and get the grime and mildew out. The waterfall is always strong on my Drinkwell.

Great sizes, bad construction
I am glad for the sizes but the construction is poor and the bristles too stiff to do a good job cleaning. I still have to break out the pipe cleaners for the small spots and the rag for the large. The bristles don't bush out at the end so when you push the brush into the well, you are scraping the metal end against the bottom - the metal end doesn't do a great job scrubbing the residue off the bottom of the well.
Bamboo makes a Kong cleaner with a suction cup that is better designed and has a small brush in the handle. You'll still need the pipe cleaner for the smaller pieces though.

Excellent brush kit
These brushes make cleaning the fountain much quicker and easier. Yes, I could make do without them, but this speeds the process up enormously.

Now if I could just get the cats to clean their own fountain...
