Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to assemble and prepare your Kastty Pet Water Fountain for first use:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure you have the water tank, pump, filter tray, filter, and desired spout attachments.
- Rinse Components: Wash all parts (except the pump and adapter) with water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly to remove any residue.
- Install Pump: Place the pump into the designated slot at the bottom of the water tank. Ensure the power cord is routed through the channel to prevent pinching.

- Assemble Tray and Spout: Attach the filter tray onto the water tank, aligning it with the pump's water outlet. Then, attach your preferred spout (e.g., flower spouts) to the top of the filter tray.
- Fill with Water: Fill the water tank with clean water up to the maximum fill line. Do not overfill.
- Connect Power: Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet. The fountain will begin operating.
