The Drinkwell® Platinum 5L Pet Water Fountain is a large-capacity automatic drinking fountain designed to provide cats and dogs with a continuous supply of fresh, filtered water. Its generous 5 litre capacity makes it an excellent choice for larger pets, multi-pet households or owners looking for a pet fountain that requires less frequent refilling.
Featuring the distinctive Drinkwell free-falling water stream, continuous water circulation and replaceable filtration, the Platinum provides an appealing alternative to a conventional pet water bowl. The adjustable water flow allows the fountain to be tailored to your pet's drinking preference.
With space for approximately 5 litres of drinking water, the Drinkwell Platinum is one of the larger-capacity fountains in the Drinkwell range. It is suitable for both cats and dogs and provides a useful solution where a smaller drinking fountain would require frequent refilling.
The large reservoir continually feeds water into the fountain, helping maintain a readily available supply of drinking water throughout the day.
The 5L water capacity makes the Drinkwell Platinum particularly suitable for larger dogs and households with more than one pet. The additional reservoir capacity provides a substantial supply of water without dramatically increasing the size of the main drinking area.
A large-capacity automatic pet water fountain can also be particularly convenient during warmer weather or in households where pets drink frequently.
The Drinkwell Platinum uses a patented free-falling stream to continuously return water to the drinking bowl. The movement of the water helps aerate it while providing a drinking experience that many cats and dogs find more appealing than standing water.
Continuous circulation also means the water is repeatedly passed through the fountain's filtration system rather than simply remaining stationary in a traditional bowl.
Different pets have different drinking preferences. The adjustable flow control on the Drinkwell Platinum allows you to alter the strength of the free-falling water stream.
The flow can therefore be adjusted to create a drinking environment that better suits your individual cat or dog.
The Drinkwell Platinum Pet Fountain uses a replaceable activated charcoal filter to help maintain fresher, better-tasting drinking water.
The charcoal filtration system helps reduce unpleasant tastes and odours as the water circulates through the fountain. Replacing the filter at the recommended intervals helps maintain effective filtration.
In addition to the replaceable charcoal filter, the Drinkwell Platinum incorporates a pre-filter designed to catch pet hair and larger particles before they can reach the pump.
This additional stage of filtration helps reduce the amount of debris entering the pump and assists in maintaining effective water circulation between routine cleaning.
A submersible water pump continuously circulates water through the fountain while operating with minimal noise. This makes the Drinkwell Platinum suitable for everyday indoor use without excessive pump noise becoming distracting.
Quiet operation can also be useful for pets that are nervous or sensitive to unfamiliar sounds.
The base of the fountain features rubber feet to help keep the unit securely positioned and reduce unwanted movement across smooth floor surfaces.
A snap-on lid helps keep the upper section securely attached and prevents it from being accidentally removed during normal use.
The Drinkwell Platinum has been designed with straightforward maintenance in mind. The appropriate fountain components are dishwasher safe, excluding the pump, making regular cleaning easier.
Routine cleaning of the fountain, pump and pre-filter together with regular replacement of the charcoal filter will help maintain good water flow and effective filtration.

The Drinkwell Platinum 5L Water Fountain is suitable for cats and dogs and is particularly useful where a larger water capacity is required. Its combination of a 5 litre reservoir and accessible drinking area makes it a strong choice for large dogs, multiple cats, multi-pet households and pets that consume larger quantities of water.
For owners currently using a small pet fountain but finding themselves frequently topping it up, the Platinum's larger reservoir can provide a more convenient solution.
The Drinkwell Platinum 5L Pet Water Fountain combines large water capacity with filtered circulation, adjustable flow and quiet operation. The free-falling stream provides moving drinking water while the charcoal filter and pre-filter work together to help maintain the fountain and its water.
With its 5 litre capacity, adjustable stream, filtered water, quiet pump and easy-clean design, the Drinkwell Platinum is an excellent automatic drinking fountain for cats, dogs and households with multiple pets.
