Setup and Installation
Proper preparation of the filter is crucial for its effectiveness and longevity.
- Soak the Filter: Before first use, soak the new filter in clean water for 5 minutes. This helps to remove any loose carbon particles and ensures proper water flow.
- Rinse Thoroughly: After soaking, rinse the filter under running water for at least 30 seconds.

Once prepared, install the filter and pre-filter sponge into their designated slots within the fountain according to your specific Dockstream model's instructions.
Operating Principle: Multi-Layer Filtration
The PETLIBRO Dockstream filters utilize a vertical, multi-layer filtration system to purify water:
- Non-woven fabric: Captures pet hair and larger impurities.
- Activated carbon: Eliminates foul odors and tastes.
- Ion exchange resin: Removes heavy metal ions and softens water quality.
- Sponge: The built-in pump sponge further filters debris to prevent blockages and damage to the pump.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance is vital for your pet's health and to prolong the life of your water fountain.
- Filter Replacement: It is recommended to replace the filters every 2 weeks for optimal filtering effect. If you have multiple pets, more frequent replacement may be necessary.
- Fountain Cleaning: For your pet’s health and to prolong pump service life, it is recommended to change the water and clean the water tank, tray, foam filter, and pump at least once a week.

Troubleshooting

- Foul Odor/Taste: This is a sign that the filter needs immediate replacement. Even if it hasn't been two weeks, environmental factors or multiple pets can accelerate filter degradation.
- Water Impurities: If you notice debris in the water despite filtration, check that the filter is correctly seated and not allowing water to bypass the filtration layers.
