REPLACING THE FILTER

FILTERS: CHANGE EVERY 2 to 4 WEEKS

FOUNTAIN: CLEAN ONCE A WEEK

1) Filters should be changed every two to four weeks. Replace filters

more frequently when using the fountain for multiple pets or pets that

produce a lot of saliva.

2) Filters are an added feature of the fountain. Their use is not required

for normal operation.

3) Filters may be rinsed out when the fountain is cleaned. Never wash

the filter with soapy water, as the soap residue will seep into the filter

and cannot be removed. Only rinse the filter with water.

4) For replacement filters, visit a local pet store or call 866-322-2530.

Order online by visiting www.petfountain.com and using our retailer

locator.

FOUNTAIN DISASSEMBLY & CLEANING

Unplug the fountain and disconnect the inline plug. (See Fig. 5)

Next, empty all of the water out of the fountain.

Remove the housing by gripping the side walls and squeezing inward to

release the locking tabs. Lift up and set aside. (See Fig. 6)

Next, take out the filter. On the backside of the lower bowl, remove

the cord from the cord notch. The cord should now be loose for easy

removal. (See Fig. 7)

Grab the pump with your fingers and lift straight up, this will remove

the pump. Continue pulling the cord up through the opening until the

pump is completely removed from the bowl piece. (See Fig. 8)

Cord Notch

The Fountain must be cleaned on a regular basis to

continue working normally!

Place the fountain in a desired location. If placing on carpet, tile or

wood flooring, always use a protective mat or other durable, water

resistant surface to help protect your floor from splashing or dripping.

Fill the fountain with water by pouring water directly into the upper

and lower bowls, this will prime the pump. We recommend leaving

at least 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) of space between the water level and the

lower bowl rim to help prevent spills.

Before you plug the fountain in, make sure the cord and your hands

are dry. Plug the fountain into an electrical outlet.

Add water to the fountain as needed. Due to the dual bowl design of

this fountain, maintaining both water levels at a higher level will help

decrease the noise level of your fountain. Never let the water level

fall below 1 inch (2.54 cm) above the bottom of the bowl or you may

risk burning out the pump.
