3. Setup and Installation

Filter Preparation:

1. Before initial use or replacement, soak the filter pad in clean water for 5 minutes.
2. Ensure the filter pad is thoroughly drenched. This step is critical to prevent water overflow during operation, as it allows water to pass through smoothly.

Installation Steps:

1. Disassemble your FWMB cat water fountain according to its specific instructions to access the filter compartment.
2. Remove the old filter and sponge.
3. Place the new pre-filter sponge around the pump.
4. Insert the prepared filter pad into the filter box.
5. Close the filter box securely.
6. Reassemble the water fountain and refill it with clean water.

4. Operating with Filters

Once installed, the FWMB filters work continuously to purify the water in your pet fountain. The 5-layer filtration system ensures that your pet receives clean and healthy water throughout the day by removing various impurities:

• Hair and Debris: The initial ABS grille and sponge layers capture pet hair, food particles, and other large debris.
• Impurities: The double-layer sponge further adsorbs finer impurities.
• Heavy Metals: The core graphite resin filtration layer is specifically designed to adsorb residual heavy metals from the water.

This multi-stage process contributes to a healthier drinking environment for your pet.

5. Maintenance and Replacement

Replacement Schedule:

• Carbon Filter: Replace the carbon filter (blue filter pad) every 4 weeks under normal conditions.
• Increased Frequency: During hot weather or if mosquitoes are present, replace the carbon filter every 2 weeks to maintain optimal water quality and hygiene.
• Foam Filter: Replace the foam filter (pre-filter sponge) every two months.

Regular replacement of both filter types is essential to ensure continuous clean and fresh water for your pet.

Cleaning:

While the filters themselves are disposable, it is recommended to regularly clean the water fountain components (basin, pump, etc.) according to your fountain's instruction manual to prevent buildup and ensure efficient operation.

6. Troubleshooting

Water Overflow or Slow Flow:

• Issue: Water is overflowing from the fountain or the water flow is significantly reduced after filter replacement.
• Solution: This often occurs if the filter pad was not thoroughly soaked before installation. Remove the filter, soak it in clean water for at least 5 minutes to ensure it is fully saturated, and then reinstall it.

Filter Not Fitting Correctly:

• Issue: The replacement filter does not seem to fit properly into the fountain's filter compartment.
• Solution: Verify that your fountain model is indeed compatible with these filters (FWMB 108oz/3.2L and 135oz/4.0L stainless steel cat water fountains, Model PET-HQ002-US). If you have a different model, these filters may not be suitable. Double-check the orientation of the filter during installation.
