4. Operating Instructions
The PETLIBRO water fountain is designed for continuous operation, providing fresh water for your pet throughout the day and night.
4.1. Adjustable Water Flow
The fountain features an adjustable water flow setting, allowing you to customize the stream intensity to your pet's preference. This can help encourage pets to drink more water.
- To adjust the flow, gently rotate the small nozzle on the lid where the water emerges.
- Rotate clockwise for a stronger flow, and counter-clockwise for a gentler flow.

5. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and filter replacement are crucial for maintaining water quality and the longevity of your fountain.
5.1. Cleaning the Fountain
- Frequency: Clean the entire fountain, including the stainless steel bowl and lid, at least once every 2 to 4 weeks. More frequent cleaning may be necessary depending on water quality and pet usage.
- Disassembly: Unplug the fountain, remove the lid, and take out the pump, pre-filtration sponge, and activated carbon filter.
- Washing: Wash all components (except the power adapter) with mild soap and water. The stainless steel parts are dishwasher safe. Use a small brush (often included with filter kits) to clean hard-to-reach areas, especially around the pump and water outlet.
- Rinse: Rinse all parts thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
5.2. Cleaning the Pump
- Frequency: Clean the pump every 2 to 4 weeks to prevent mineral buildup and ensure optimal performance.
- Disassembly: Carefully open the pump casing (refer to pump instructions if needed) and remove the impeller.
- Cleaning: Clean the impeller and the inside of the pump with a small brush and water. Remove any hair or debris.
- Reassembly: Reassemble the pump, ensuring all parts fit correctly.
5.3. Filter Replacement
The fountain utilizes a high-efficiency filtration system to provide clean water:
- Pre-filtration Sponge: Filters hair and larger debris.
- Activated Carbon Filter: Removes odors, impurities, and heavy metals.

Replacement Frequency: Replace the activated carbon filter and pre-filtration sponge every 2 to 4 weeks, or more frequently if the water appears dirty or the flow rate decreases significantly. Search for replacement filters using ASIN B08ZCTGNGD.
