ADS Pet Water Fountain Filters 6pcs
ADS Pet Water Fountain Filters (6 pack) are replacement multi-layer filters for ADS stainless steel pet water fountains. Each filter combines high-iodine coconut shell activated carbon with ion exchange resin to help trap impurities, reduce odours and soften the water, so your cat or dog is drinking from a cleaner bowl every day. Compatible with the ADS551-D and ADS801-D models.
Buying six at a time covers roughly three to six months of use at the recommended replacement interval, which means you always have a spare on hand instead of running the fountain on a filter that has stopped working.

Why hydration matters, especially for cats
Cats evolved to get most of their water from prey and have a weaker thirst drive than dogs, so many indoor cats drink less than they should — particularly on a dry diet. Low water intake is a recognised risk factor for urinary problems, and running water is one of the simplest ways to encourage drinking, because most cats prefer moving water to a still bowl.
A fountain only keeps that advantage while its filter is doing its job. Once the carbon is saturated with hair, dust and food residue, the water starts to taste and smell stale, and that is usually the point at which a cat quietly stops using the fountain.
Key Features
- Multi-layer filtration for cleaner, fresher drinking water
- High-iodine coconut shell activated carbon helps absorb impurities and odours
- Ion exchange resin helps soften water and reduce heavy metals
- Helps trap loose hair, dust and food residue before it recirculates
- Encourages pets to drink more water throughout the day
- Six filters per pack — approximately 3–6 months of use
- Drops straight into place, no tools required
- Designed for ADS stainless steel pet fountains
Compatible Models
- ADS551-D
- ADS801-D
Please confirm your fountain model before ordering. Filters are model specific, and a filter that does not seat correctly will let water bypass the media instead of passing through it.
How to Fit a New Filter
- Switch off and unplug the fountain, then tip out the remaining water.
- Lift out the old filter and discard it.
- Rinse the new filter briefly under cool running water to clear any loose carbon dust.
- Seat it in the filter housing so it sits flat, with no gaps around the edge.
- Wash the bowl, pump and tubing while you are there, then refill with fresh water and restart.
How Often Should You Replace the Filter?
Replace the filter every 2–4 weeks. Choose the shorter end of that range if you have multiple pets, a long-haired cat or dog, or a pet who tends to drop food into the water. Signs a filter is overdue include a slower flow, cloudy water, a musty smell, or a pet who has started drinking elsewhere.
Replacing the filter is not a substitute for cleaning the pump. Rinsing the impeller and tubing every couple of weeks stops the buildup that makes fountains noisy and slow.

Suitable For
- Cats and dogs using an ADS551-D or ADS801-D stainless steel fountain

FAQs
Which fountains do these filters fit?
They are made for the ADS stainless steel pet fountains, specifically the ADS551-D and ADS801-D models. Check the model number on the base of your fountain before ordering, as filters are not interchangeable between brands.How often should I change the filter?
Every 2–4 weeks. Go closer to two weeks with multiple pets, long-haired pets, or if your pet drops food into the water. A slow flow, cloudy water or a musty smell means it is overdue.How long will a 6 pack last?
Roughly three to six months for a single-pet household, depending on how often you change filters. Multi-pet homes will get through them faster.Do I need to rinse the filter before using it?
A quick rinse under cool running water is worthwhile. It clears any loose carbon dust so the first bowl of water runs clear.Can I wash and reuse a filter?
No. Rinsing removes surface debris but cannot regenerate saturated activated carbon or spent ion exchange resin. Once a filter has reached the end of its life it needs replacing.What does the ion exchange resin actually do?
It helps soften the water and reduce heavy metals, while the activated carbon layer absorbs impurities and the odours that put pets off drinking.My cat has stopped using the fountain — could the filter be the cause?
Often, yes. Cats are sensitive to taste and smell, and a saturated filter or a slimy pump will put them off. Fit a fresh filter, clean the pump and bowl thoroughly, and refill with fresh water.Is the filter alone enough to keep the fountain clean?
No. The filter handles the water, but the bowl, pump impeller and tubing still need regular cleaning — every one to two weeks is a good habit. Skipping that is the main reason fountains get noisy.Can I get these delivered in Melbourne?
