PetSafe - Drinkwell Pre Foam Filter For 360 Plastic Fountain Dog
Description
TL;DR: The PetSafe Drinkwell Pre-Foam Filter is a replacement foam pre-filter for the Drinkwell 360 Plastic Fountain that traps hair, food, and debris before they reach the pump. It's a simple maintenance part for dog owners who want cleaner fountain water and a longer-lasting pump.
If you run a dog water fountain, regular filter changes are what separate fresh circulating water from a sluggish, clogged pump. This pre-foam filter sits at the intake side of the Drinkwell 360, trapping larger particles so the carbon filter and pump can do their jobs.

- Supports cleaner water circulation and steadier fountain flow
- Helps extend the working life of the Drinkwell 360 pump
- Tool-free install — swap in seconds during routine cleaning

Who is it for?
This pre-foam filter is for owners of the PetSafe Drinkwell 360 Plastic Fountain who want to keep their dog's drinking water visibly cleaner between deep cleans. It's especially useful in multi-pet households and for shedding breeds, where loose hair is the main cause of pump slowdown.
How often should you replace the pre-foam filter?
Inspect the foam weekly and rinse it when you see visible buildup. Most households replace the pre-foam filter every 2 to 4 weeks, or sooner if you have heavy shedders or multiple dogs sharing the fountain.
How do you install it?
Unplug the fountain, lift off the top, and seat the foam filter in its designated slot at the pump intake before reassembling. No tools required — this is a routine maintenance swap, not a repair.
Which fountain does this filter fit?
This filter is made for the plastic version of the 360. If you want to buy water fountain online for your dog and are still choosing a model, compare the PetSafe - Stainless Steel 360 Fountain For Dog for a more durable bowl, the Petsafe - Outlast Fountain Without Pump For Pets for a gravity-fed option, or the Petsafe - Viva Fountain for Pets for smaller households.
Feeding & use
Use alongside the Drinkwell 360's carbon filter — the pre-foam handles large debris, while the carbon filter handles taste and odour. Rinse the foam under cool tap water between replacements, and do a full fountain clean every 2 to 4 weeks to keep the fountain running at its best.
