filters and pet fountain Cleaning
filter System
The Pet Fountain is equipped with two types of filters that should be replaced on a regular
basis. A Charcoal Filter removes bad tastes and odours, keeping water fresh. A Foam Filter
collects hair and debris and prevents it from reaching the Pump, providing optimal filtration.
The filters together will keep the Pump cleaner and provide fresher water to your pet.
CHArCOAL fILtEr: Filters should be changed every two to four weeks.
Replace filters more frequently when using the Pet Fountain for multiple pets
or pets that produce a lot of saliva.
Important: Always rinse the Charcoal
Filter prior to use. A small amount of charcoal dust may shed for the life of
the filter, this is normal and not harmful to your pet.
fOAm fILtEr: Replace the Foam Filter every four to eight weeks,
depending on the location of the Pet Fountain and the number of pets using
it. If you do not intend to replace the filter at the time of cleaning, rinse the
Foam Filter thoroughly with fresh water.
Filters are an added feature of the Pet Fountain. Their use is not required for normal
operation. However, when used properly and changed regularly, the filters help keep
the water cleaner and fresher, while extending the life of your Pet Fountain. Filters may
be rinsed out when the Pet Fountain is cleaned.
Important: Never wash the filters with
soapy water, as the soap residue will seep into the filters and cannot be removed. Only
rinse the filters with water.
