When to Change the Filter
Petmate recommends replacing the filter every 4-6 weeks. You'll also want to rinse it at each water change. If you notice a chlorine smell, reduced flow, or visible debris buildup, it's time for a swap. The internal charcoal element controls chlorine and removes odors, while the outer polyester layer catches hair and sediment.
How to Replace the Filter
Each pack includes three filters and a filter strap. The process takes just a few minutes.
- Remove the old filter: Take the cap off the waterer and remove the old filter and strap. Discard the used filter.
- Prepare the new filter: Remove the outer plastic covering from the new filter. Rinse it under cold water until the water runs clear.
- Install the filter: Place the filter in the cap section with the flat side facing upward. Apply the filter strap across the top to secure it.
- Reassemble the waterer: Fill the bottle with fresh water, attach the cap, and insert it back into the base.
What You Need to Know About Compatibility
These filters fit all Petmate Replendish or Mason style waterers, regardless of the gallon size. So if you have a large Replendish or a smaller Mason jar waterer, the same replacement filter works. The pack includes three filters, enough for about three months of use if you change every four weeks.

Maintenance Tips Between Filter Changes
- Rinse at each refill: Take the filter out and rinse it under cold water before refilling the bottle. This clears trapped debris and keeps water flowing.
- Check the strap: The filter strap holds the filter in place. If it becomes loose or damaged, replace it with the one from the new pack.
- Wash the waterer: While the filter is out, wash the bottle and base with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly before reassembling.
