Operating Modes

The DownyPaws fountain offers two distinct operating modes to cater to your pet's drinking habits and conserve battery life:

• Motion Sensor Mode: In this mode, the fountain automatically dispenses water when your pet approaches, stimulating their natural curiosity and encouraging them to drink more. This mode is ideal for active pets and helps save battery power when the fountain is not in use.
• Time Mode: For consistent hydration, the time mode dispenses water for 20 seconds every 15 minutes. This ensures a regular supply of fresh water throughout the day, regardless of pet activity.

To switch between modes, simply press the mode selection button on the pump unit. The indicator lights will show the currently active mode.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and hygiene of your pet fountain. The DownyPaws fountain is designed for easy cleaning:

• Daily Water Change: For optimal freshness, change the water daily.
• Weekly Cleaning: Disassemble the fountain (as shown in Figure 2) and clean all parts. The stainless steel tank and filter tray can be washed by hand or in the dishwasher.
• Pump Cleaning: Clean the pump and impeller every 1-2 weeks to prevent mineral buildup and ensure proper function. Refer to the detailed instructions in the included user manual for pump cleaning.
• Filter Replacement: Replace the filter every 2-4 weeks, or more frequently if you have multiple pets or notice reduced water flow. Use only genuine DownyPaws replacement filters (search for "B0BPSDWWHM").

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your DownyPaws pet fountain, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Water Flow:
  • Check if the pump unit is properly installed and securely connected.
  • Ensure the water level in the tank is sufficient. Refill if low.

  • Check if the filter is clogged. Replace if necessary.
  • Verify the battery is charged. Recharge if the indicator light shows low battery.
• Fountain is Noisy:
  • Ensure the water level is adequate. Low water levels can cause pump noise.
  • Clean the pump and impeller. Trapped debris or hair can cause vibrations.
  • Check that the pump unit is correctly seated and not vibrating against the tank.
• Water Tastes/Smells Bad:
  • Replace the filter. Filters should be replaced every 2-4 weeks.
  • Clean the entire fountain thoroughly, including the tank, tray, and pump.
  • Ensure you are using fresh, clean water.
• Motion Sensor Not Working:
  • Ensure the fountain is in motion sensor mode.
