4. Operating Instructions

The NICREW Cat Water Fountain operates continuously once plugged in, providing a constant flow of fresh water. It features a translucent design for easy water level monitoring and an LED indicator to help your pet find the fountain at night.

Water Flow Types:

The flower spout allows for three different water flow designs:

  • Gentle Water Flow: Achieved by using the flower spout.
  • Bubbling Top: Achieved by removing the flower spout and using the bubbling cap.
  • Calm Streams: Achieved by removing both the flower spout and the bubbling cap, allowing water to pool on the top tray.
Three different water flow options for the NICREW cat water fountain: gentle flow, bubbling top, and calm streams.

Silent Operation:

The fountain is designed for quiet operation. Regular cleaning of the pump and ensuring sufficient water levels will help maintain its low noise output. Removing the flower topper can also reduce waterfall noise.

6. Troubleshooting

  • No Water Flow: Check if the pump is properly installed and connected to power. Ensure the water level is above the 'MIN' mark. Clean the pump and impeller for any blockages.
