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

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.
