Setup and Initial Preparation
Before installing new filters, it is crucial to prepare them properly to ensure optimal performance and water quality for your pet.
- Rinse the Filter: Before first use, thoroughly rinse the filter under running water. This helps remove any loose carbon particles and prepares the filter for effective filtration.
- Soak the Filter: It is recommended to soak the filter in clean water for approximately 5 minutes prior to installation. This ensures the filter material is fully saturated and ready to function efficiently.

Operating Principle (Filtration System)
The FOFNON cat water fountain filters utilize a multi-layer filtration system to provide clean and fresh water for your pets. This system effectively removes impurities, ensuring healthier drinking water.
- Activated Carbon: Removes chlorine, odors, and organic impurities.
- Non-woven Fabric: Filters out larger particles and sediment.
- Ion Exchange Resin: Softens water by reducing heavy metal ions.
- High-Density Sponge: Catches pet hair and debris, protecting the pump.

Maintenance and Replacement
Regular replacement of filters and sponges is essential to maintain water quality and the longevity of your pet fountain.
- Filter Replacement: It is recommended to change the filter every 2-4 weeks.
- Sponge Replacement: The sponge should be replaced every 1-2 months.
These recommendations are general guidelines; actual replacement frequency may vary based on the number of pets, water hardness, and overall usage.

Installation Steps:
- Pump Filter Cotton Installation: Place the black foam sponge around the pump unit. This sponge acts as a pre-filter, catching larger debris and pet hair.
- Filter Cartridge Installation: Open the filter housing in your fountain. Insert the new filter cartridge into its designated fixed position. Ensure it is seated correctly to allow proper water flow and filtration.

Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with water quality or fountain performance after filter replacement, consider the following:
- Water Quality Issues: Ensure the filter was rinsed and soaked before installation. If water quality remains poor, the filter may need more frequent replacement due to high usage or water impurities.
- Compatibility: These filters are designed exclusively for FOFNON 3.2L cat water fountains and 7L dog water fountains. Using non-original FOFNON filter elements may lead to improper fit or ineffective filtration. Always use original FOFNON replacement parts.
- Flow Reduction: A clogged sponge or filter can reduce water flow. Check both components for excessive debris and replace if necessary.
