NEVERMIND - I DIDN'T GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE POSTS - SOMEONE did ALREADY TALK ABOUT DISTILLED WATER - SORRY.Originally Posted by darlili
I've got the Drinkwell Platinum, and both my cats now drink more from it than they ever did from their bowls. I agree there may be a learning curve, and certainly keep another bowl out, at least as first, but I bet you'll find the fountain being used more and more. I am using distilled water now - they seem to like it and makes the fountain even easier to clean - I use about a gallon a week, so about $1.10 from my grocery store.
I'm wondering about the distilled water you mentioned - isn't the use of distilled water only for temporary use?
I'm going to do some research - but I think the distilled might cause mineral deficiencies ??? --- Maybe that's why it's easier to clean? Maybe someone here already knows the benefits and/or the dangers of using distilled water?
