About PetSafe filters

PetSafe Drinkwell filters are carbon filters coded PAC00 followed by five digits, for example PAC00-13906 (4 pack) for the 1.8, 3.7 and 7.5 litre, Butterfly, Pagoda, Stainless 360, Sedona, Seaside and Streamside fountains, with separate codes for the Drinkwell 360 and Premium filters. PetSafe says to change filters every two to four weeks. Match the filter code to your fountain model, as filter shapes differ between Drinkwell ranges.
