Setup Instructions

  1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging.
  2. Rinse Parts: Wash the reservoir, bowl, and spout with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly to remove any residue.
  3. Prepare Filter: Rinse the charcoal filter under cold running water for approximately 30 seconds to remove any loose carbon dust.
  4. Assemble Pump: Place the water pump into the designated area at the bottom of the reservoir. Ensure the power cord is routed through the notch in the reservoir.
  5. Install Filter: Insert the rinsed charcoal filter into the filter slot within the reservoir.
  6. Fill Reservoir: Fill the reservoir with clean water up to the maximum fill line. Do not overfill.
  7. Place Bowl: Carefully place the bowl onto the reservoir, ensuring it sits securely and the pump's water outlet aligns with the opening in the bowl.
  8. Attach Spout: Insert the spout into the opening on the top of the bowl. You can choose between the waterfall feature or remove it for a gentle bubbling fountain.
  9. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a standard electrical outlet. The fountain will begin to operate.

Operating the Fountain

The IRIS USA Pet Water Fountain is designed for continuous operation, providing fresh, filtered water for your pets. It offers two distinct water flow options:

  • Waterfall Spout: For a flowing stream of water, attach the blue spout to the top of the fountain. This mimics a faucet, which some pets prefer.
  • Gentle Fountain: For a bubbling, gentle flow, remove the blue spout. Water will bubble up from the center of the bowl.

The fountain features an ultra-silent submersible pump, ensuring minimal noise during operation. The flow rate is adjustable via a switch on the pump itself, allowing you to customize the water flow intensity to your pet's preference.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and filter replacement are crucial for maintaining water quality and the longevity of your fountain.

Cleaning the Fountain

  • Daily: Check the water level and refill as needed.
  • Weekly: Unplug the fountain. Disassemble all components (spout, bowl, filter, pump, reservoir). Wash all parts, except the pump, with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly.
  • Pump Cleaning: The pump should be cleaned every 2-4 weeks. Disassemble the pump by removing the cover and impeller. Use a small brush (like a toothbrush) to clean any debris, hair, or mineral buildup from the impeller and pump housing. Rinse well and reassemble.

Filter Replacement

The charcoal filter helps remove impurities, hair, and odors from the water. Replace the filter every 2-4 weeks, or more frequently if you have multiple pets or notice reduced water flow or odor.

  • Unplug the fountain and disassemble the top components.
  • Remove the old filter and dispose of it.
  • Rinse a new charcoal filter under cold running water for 30 seconds.
  • Insert the new filter into the designated slot in the reservoir.
  • Reassemble the fountain and refill with fresh water.
