Setup

Follow these steps for the initial setup of your FOFNON Cat Water Fountain:

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Rinse Components: Rinse the stainless steel basin, water spout, and filter tray thoroughly with clean water. Do not use soap on the filters.
3. Prepare Filters:
   • Rinse the carbon filter under running water for a few minutes to remove any loose carbon dust.
   • Rinse the sponge filter.
4. Assemble Pump: Ensure the small sponge filter is attached to the pump intake.
5. Place Pump: Place the water pump securely at the bottom of the stainless steel basin. Ensure the power cord is routed through the designated groove to prevent pinching.
6. Install Filter Tray: Place the filter tray over the pump, ensuring it sits correctly.
7. Insert Filters: Place the carbon filter into the designated slot in the filter tray.
8. Fill with Water: Fill the stainless steel basin with clean water up to the MAX fill line, or at least above the minimum water level indicator. The 3.2L capacity allows for extended use.
9. Attach Spout: Securely attach the water spout to the pump outlet.
10. Connect Power: Connect the power adapter to the fountain's power cord, then plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet. The fountain should begin operating.

Operating Instructions

Using your FOFNON Cat Water Fountain is straightforward:

• Continuous Operation: The fountain is designed for continuous operation when plugged in. It provides a constant flow of fresh, filtered water.
• Water Level Monitoring: Regularly check the water level through the transparent water level window on the side of the basin. Refill water when it drops below the minimum level to ensure proper pump function and prevent dry running. The 3.2L capacity typically lasts 8-12 days for an adult cat.
• Quiet Operation: The fountain operates at a low noise level (approximately 30 dB), ensuring it does not disturb your household activities or your pet.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and hygiene of your FOFNON Cat Water Fountain. It is recommended to clean the fountain and replace filters as follows:

Daily/Every Few Days:

• Refill Water: Top up the water level as needed, ensuring it remains above the minimum mark.
• Quick Rinse: If refilling, quickly rinse the basin and spout to remove any surface debris.

Weekly Cleaning (or more frequently depending on usage and water quality):

1. Unplug: Always unplug the fountain from the power outlet before cleaning.
2. Disassemble: Disassemble all components: basin, spout, filter tray, pump, carbon filter, and sponge filter.
3. Clean Basin and Spout: Wash the stainless steel basin and spout with warm water and a mild, pet-safe dish soap. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
4. Clean Sponge Filter: Rinse the sponge filter under running water. If it appears heavily soiled or discolored, it may need replacement.
5. Clean Pump:
   • Carefully open the pump casing (refer to pump instructions if needed) and remove the impeller.
   • Clean the impeller and the inside of the pump with a small brush (like a toothbrush) to remove any hair, debris, or mineral deposits. This is crucial to prevent algae buildup and ensure quiet operation.
   • Rinse all pump parts thoroughly and reassemble.
6. Reassemble: Reassemble all components after cleaning, ensuring the pump and filters are correctly seated.
7. Refill: Fill the fountain with fresh, clean water.

Filter Replacement:

• Carbon Filter: Replace the carbon filter every 2-4 weeks, or more frequently if you have multiple pets or notice reduced water quality.
• Sponge Filter: Replace the sponge filter every 1-2 months, or when it shows signs of significant wear or clogging.
• Replacement filters can be found by searching for "B0CLGRVBMD" (filters) and "B0CLVB2WS4" (pumps) online.
