PETKIT Fountain Filters: P4161 Compatibility and Model Differences

Quick answer: PETKIT lists Filter Unit 3.0, model P4161, for EverSweet 3 Pro, EverSweet 3 Pro (UVC), EverSweet Solo 2 and EverSweet Solo SE. The manufacturer’s list does not include EverSweet Ultra or Max 2 UVC. Treat those as unconfirmed for P4161, and match the filter to the exact fountain model and part description before ordering.

What P4161 fits

PETKIT’s product specification names P4161 as Filter Unit 3.0 and gives this application scope:

Fountain model listed by PETKITP4161 status
EverSweet 3 ProListed
EverSweet 3 Pro (UVC)Listed
EverSweet Solo 2Listed
EverSweet Solo SEListed
EverSweet UltraNot listed on the P4161 page; compatibility unconfirmed
EverSweet Max 2 / Max 2 UVCNot listed on the P4161 page; compatibility unconfirmed

The first four entries are the product page’s named models. The separate PETKIT manuals index also names Ultra and Max 2 variants, showing they are distinct model families. A model appearing in a manual library does not establish that it uses P4161.

Model differences that matter

Do not choose a fountain filter by brand alone or by a similar-looking disc. The Max 2 UVC product page describes an included rectangular filter for that fountain; it does not identify that part as P4161. PETKIT’s P4161 page separately limits its listed scope to the four models in the table. (Max 2 UVC product page, P4161 page)

That distinction matters if your fountain is labelled EverSweet Max 2 UVC. The “UVC” suffix does not establish interchangeability with the 3 Pro UVC filter. The Max 2 UVC page’s rectangular-filter description is a shape cue, not a complete compatibility specification.

An independent compatibility guide also lists P4161 for the 3 Pro, 3 Pro UVC, Solo 2 and Solo SE. That secondary source does not add Max 2 or Ultra, so use PETKIT’s model list for a product-specific fit decision. (The Housecat Standard)

Size, pack and replacement timing

PETKIT lists P4161 at 140 × 140 × 12 mm, as a five-piece pack, and gives a recommended replacement interval of 2–4 weeks. That interval is manufacturer guidance, not a guarantee that every household’s filter will last the same amount of time. Use the fountain’s maintenance instructions and inspect the filter during routine cleaning.

Dimensions can help you compare a package label, but they do not override the model-specific application list. A part that appears close in size may differ in fit, layers or intended fountain. See our filters and parts page for broader maintenance context.

A before-order check

  1. Read the model name from the fountain label, manual or original order record. Preserve the whole name, including generation and UVC suffix.
  2. Compare that exact model with PETKIT’s P4161 application list. Do not substitute a related family name.
  3. Check the replacement package for P4161 / Filter Unit 3.0 and confirm its listed model scope. If the package says a different part name or shape, verify with the fountain’s own product page or manual.
  4. If your model is Max 2 UVC or Ultra, do not infer P4161 compatibility from the brand or another PETKIT fountain. Ask the seller or manufacturer to identify the exact replacement part for your model.

Frequently asked questions

Does P4161 fit PETKIT EverSweet Max 2 UVC?

PETKIT’s P4161 compatibility list does not name Max 2 UVC. The Max 2 UVC product page describes a rectangular filter but does not call it P4161. Treat P4161 fit as unconfirmed unless PETKIT identifies it for your exact model.

Is P4161 the same as the Max 2 UVC filter?

The official pages reviewed use different descriptions: P4161 is Filter Unit 3.0 and the Max 2 UVC page describes a rectangular filter. They do not establish that these parts are interchangeable.

How often does PETKIT recommend replacing P4161?

PETKIT gives a 2–4-week recommendation. That is manufacturer guidance; check your fountain instructions and the filter condition rather than treating the interval as a measured lifespan.

What if my fountain is not on the P4161 list?

Absence from the list means the reviewed manufacturer source does not confirm compatibility. It is not proof that a fit is physically impossible. Verify the exact replacement code with PETKIT or the seller before buying.
