Housing Cover (Lid): the housing cover snaps in place over the filter housing.
Keep curious pets away from the charcoal filter.
Housing/Filter Housing: here the water is pumped up through the housing to
cycle through the charcoal filter and out the spout to create a free-falling stream
of water into the bowl.
Replaceable Charcoal Filter: is a 3-layer carbon filter with granulated carbon
made from coconut shells. The filter absorbs bad tastes and odors as the water
passes through and helps keep the water tasting fresh and more appealing to
pets. Replace filter every 2 to 4 weeks.
Pre-filter: a small intake grate that will catch large particles such as hair and
kibble before they reach the filter. The pre-filter can be removed by pulling up on
the lip at the top. To replace, slide back into place over the flow control knob and
push down until it clamps around the knob.
Bowl: the bowl is the foundation of the fountain and houses the motor.
Flow Control Knob: the black knob that attaches to the motor which will adjust
the rate of water flow. The pre-filter will snap around the neck of the flow control
knob which will lock it into place. The knob is attached to the motor and can be
removed by taking the motor apart (See section “Motor Maintenance”).
Motor or Pump: a small submersible aquarium pump that can be dismantled for
cleaning. THE PUMP IS NOT DISHWASHER SAFE! Remove pump from fountain
before cleaning (See “Motor Maintenance”). The pump cord also features a
removable inline plug for easy attachment.
