Installation Guide

Filter Preparation

Before installing a new filter, it is crucial to prepare it properly to ensure optimal performance and remove any loose carbon particles.

1. Soak the filter: Place the new filter in a clean bowl of water and soak it for 5 minutes. This helps to activate the filtration media and remove any dust.

2. Rinse the filter: After soaking, rinse the filter thoroughly under running water for 30 seconds. This washes away any remaining loose particles.

Inserting the Filter

Once prepared, insert the filter into the designated slot within your DownyPaws Cat Water Fountain. Ensure it is seated correctly to allow for proper water flow and filtration.

Filtration System

The DownyPaws replacement filters feature a comprehensive 5-level filtration system designed to provide superior water quality for your pet:

• Activated Carbon: Effectively removes bad taste and odors from the water.
• Ion Exchange Resin: Softens tap water by reducing mineral content.
• Medical Stone: Helps remove heavy metals and releases beneficial trace elements.
• Non-woven Fabric: Filters out hair, dust, and other impurities.
• Pre-filter Sponge (of pump): Captures fine particles before they reach the main filter, protecting the pump and extending filter life.

Maintenance

To maintain the optimal filtering effect and ensure your pet always has clean water, it is recommended to replace the filters every 2 weeks. If you have multiple pets or notice reduced water flow or changes in water quality, it is advisable to clean the fountain and change the filter more often.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your DownyPaws filter or fountain, consider the following common problems and solutions:

• Reduced Water Flow: This often indicates a clogged filter. Replace the filter with a new, properly prepared one. Ensure the pre-filter sponge is also clean.
• Unpleasant Taste or Odor: An old or saturated filter can cause this. Replace the filter immediately.
• Visible Impurities in Water: If particles are visible despite filtration, the filter may be old or improperly installed. Replace the filter and ensure it is correctly seated.
• Fountain Pump Issues: While not directly a filter issue, a dirty pre-filter sponge can strain the pump. Regularly clean the fountain and replace the pre-filter sponge along with the main filter.
