4. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your ZYFeeder Pet Water Fountain:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging. Check for any damage or missing items.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the stainless steel body, lid, and spout thoroughly with soap and water. Rinse well. The pump and filters should only be rinsed with water, do not use soap on them.
3. Assemble Pump and Filters:
   • Place the pre-filter sponge around the water pump.
   • Insert the activated carbon filter into its designated slot on the lid/top tray.
   • Secure the water pump into the pump holder on the underside of the lid/top tray.
4. Fill Water Reservoir: Fill the stainless steel body with clean water up to the MAX fill line. Do not overfill. The water level window allows you to monitor this easily.
5. Place Lid: Carefully place the lid/top tray onto the stainless steel body, ensuring the pump's power cord is routed through the designated groove to prevent pinching.
6. Attach Spout: Attach your preferred water spout (spherical or faucet) to the pump outlet on the lid.
7. Connect Power: Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet. The fountain will begin operating.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Power On/Off

The fountain will start operating automatically once plugged into a power source. To turn it off, simply unplug the power adapter from the wall outlet.

5.2 Switching Water Flow Settings

Your ZYFeeder fountain offers two distinct water flow styles: spherical bubbling and faucet-style. To change the flow, you will need to replace the water spout. Ensure the fountain is unplugged before changing spouts.

• Spherical Flow: Provides a gentle bubbling water surface, often preferred by shy pets.
• Faucet Flow: Mimics a running tap, which can attract pets that enjoy drinking from faucets.

5.3 Monitoring Water Level

The integrated water level window allows you to easily see how much water is remaining in the reservoir. Refill the fountain when the water level drops below the minimum recommended level to prevent the pump from running dry, which can shorten its lifespan.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity of your fountain and the health of your pets. Always unplug the fountain before cleaning.

6.1 Daily Maintenance

• Check the water level and refill as needed.
• Remove any visible debris (hair, food particles) from the water.

6.2 Weekly Cleaning

1. Unplug the fountain and disassemble all components.
2. Stainless Steel Parts: The stainless steel body, lid, and spout are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, wash them by hand with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly.
3. Water Pump: Disassemble the pump and clean all parts with a small brush to remove any accumulated debris or mineral deposits. Rinse thoroughly with water. Do NOT use soap on the pump.
4. Filters: Rinse the pre-filter sponge and activated carbon filter under running water. Replace the activated carbon filter every 2-4 weeks, or more frequently if you have multiple pets or notice reduced water flow/odor. Replace the pre-filter sponge as needed.
5. Reassemble all components and refill with fresh water.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your ZYFeeder Pet Water Fountain, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

8. User Tips

• Encourage Drinking: Some pets may need time to adjust to a new fountain. Try placing a favorite toy or treat near the fountain, or gently guide their paw to the flowing water.
• Placement: Position the fountain in a quiet, accessible area where your pet feels comfortable drinking. Avoid placing it directly next to their food bowl if they are messy eaters, to keep the water cleaner.
• Filter Stock: Keep spare activated carbon filters on hand to ensure timely replacements and continuous clean water.
• Water Quality: Use filtered tap water or bottled water to minimize mineral buildup in the pump and extend its lifespan.
• Observe Pet Behavior: Pay attention to which water flow setting your pet prefers (spherical or faucet) and use that setting consistently.
