PLWF106 is the corded Dockstream 2 Smart Fountain, not the cordless PLWF116 version. It uses a flat PETLIBRO Dockstream filter beneath the cover, with a foam pre-filter fitted inside the water pump cover. The matching replacement listing is ASIN B0B7J16VGK. One detail worth noting: the stainless steel water tray and filter tray form a single integrated assembly.
