3. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to assemble and prepare your AONBOY Cat Water Fountain:
- Rinse Components: Thoroughly rinse all parts of the fountain (except the power adapter) with water before first use.
- Install Pump: Place the water pump into the designated slot at the bottom of the main water dispenser unit. Ensure the power cord is routed through the provided channel.
- Prepare Filter: Rinse the carbon filter and filter sponge under running water for several minutes to remove any loose carbon dust.
- Place Filter: Insert the filter sponge into the pump, then place the carbon filter on top of the filter tray, ensuring it sits securely.
- Assemble Tray: Place the filter tray assembly onto the main water dispenser unit, aligning it properly.
- Attach Spout: Insert the flower spout onto the pump's outlet on the filter tray. You can adjust the flower petals to achieve different water flow patterns.
- Fill with Water: Fill the water dispenser unit with clean water up to the 'MAX' line indicated on the side. Do not overfill. Ensure the water level is always above the pump to prevent dry running.
- Connect Power: Connect the power adapter to the fountain's power cord and then plug it into a standard electrical outlet. The LED light will illuminate, and water will begin to flow.
4. Operating Instructions
Your AONBOY Cat Water Fountain is designed for continuous operation to provide fresh, filtered water for your pet. The built-in LED light allows for easy monitoring of the water level and provides illumination in low-light conditions.
4.1 Water Flow Designs
The fountain offers three distinct water flow modes:
- Flower Waterfall: Water flows gently from the petals, mimicking a natural stream.
- Flower Bubble: A bubbling effect from the center of the flower.
- Soft Fountain: A gentle, calm flow without the flower attachment.
Adjust the flower spout to achieve your desired water flow pattern. Different patterns can encourage pets with varying preferences to drink more.

4.2 Water Level Monitoring
The translucent design and LED light allow you to easily monitor the water level without disassembling the fountain. Always ensure the water level is maintained above the minimum mark to prevent the pump from running dry, which can shorten its lifespan and cause noise.

5. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and filter replacement are crucial for maintaining water quality and the longevity of your fountain.
5.1 Cleaning the Fountain
Clean the entire fountain at least once a week. Disassemble all parts and wash them with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue. The main unit and tray are generally dishwasher-safe, but handwashing is recommended for the pump and flower spout.
5.2 Filter Replacement
The carbon filter and filter sponge should be replaced every 2-4 weeks, depending on the number of pets using the fountain and the water quality in your area. Replace them more frequently if you notice a decrease in water flow or an unpleasant odor.

Periodically clean the water pump to ensure optimal performance and quiet operation. Disconnect the pump from power, remove it from the fountain, and carefully open its casing. Clean any debris, hair, or mineral buildup from the impeller and inside the pump with a small brush. Reassemble the pump securely.
