What kind of cat fountain do you have,
@lxskllr ? We have a Drinkwell Platinum that is still going strong but it gets clogged up with hair reallly easily. The idea of a replaceable filter is intriguing, if that is the purpose that it serves.

I have this fountain...
I've only had it a couple months, but I'm super happy with it. The cats love it. Instructions say to clean it every two weeks, which is a bit of a hassle, but seems about right with what I find inside. There's nothing particularly hard about cleaning, it's just unfun. I set an alarm in my phone to remind me. I reused the filters(a pump prefilter strainer, and the white upper filter) three times. I feel like that might have been one too many times. I rinse them well under hot water, but there could still be bacteria trapped inside. I'm just gonna reuse the filters once, so that would be one filter set/month. Not terrible. My concern is more with the material waste than the expense. The off brand I got(good reviews, but untested by me) is <$1 filter pair
Also, barge cement lol what's that for?
For me specifically, it's to repair some shoe soles. I have some ooold boat shoes, that are almost new, but the glue gave way, and the soles are peeling up.
Generally, Barge cement is the standard in shoe repair, leatherwork, and other similar stuff. It's professional glue, which is why it comes in such big containers. However, I'm not a pro, and don't need a quart, much less a gallon, so I reluctantly bought the overpriced tube :^D
