6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your iPettie Runway Cat Water Fountain, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Water Flow:
  • Check if the power adapter is securely plugged into the outlet and the fountain.
  • Ensure the water level is above the 'MIN' indicator. Refill if necessary.

  • Replace the filter.
  • Thoroughly clean all fountain components, including the basin and pump.
