Setup Instructions

- Install the Faucet: Attach the faucet/spout to the designated opening on the filter tray.
- Place the Pump: Position the wireless pump onto the charging pad located at the bottom of the fountain reservoir. Ensure it is securely placed.
- Add Water: Fill the reservoir with clean water up to the "MAX" line. Do not exceed the maximum fill line. Then, place the lid (with the filter tray and faucet assembled) onto the reservoir.
- Power On: Press and hold the power button on the base of the fountain for 2 seconds to turn it on.

Charging the Fountain
The fountain is equipped with a 5,000mAh built-in rechargeable battery. To charge:
- Connect the provided USB Type-C cable to the charging port on the base of the fountain and the other end to the power adapter.
- Plug the adapter into a wall outlet.
- A bicolour indicator light will flash alternately when the battery is low or charging. A full charge takes approximately 4 hours and can provide power for up to 30 days in intermittent mode.

Operating Instructions
The NPET WF220 offers dual water modes to suit your pet's needs:
- Intermittent Mode: In this mode, the fountain will automatically run for 5 seconds every 10 minutes. This mode is designed to attract your pet's attention and conserve battery life. It also runs for 1 minute every 2 hours to keep the drinking area clean. This is the primary mode when operating on battery power.
- Normal Mode: When the fountain is continuously connected to a power supply (plugged in), it will operate in normal mode, providing a continuous flow of water. This ensures constant hydration for your pets.
To switch between modes or turn the fountain on/off, briefly press the power button on the base. The indicator light will change to reflect the current mode.

Wireless Placement
The wireless, battery-operated design allows you to place the fountain in various locations without external wires, such as the kitchen, bedroom, or living room. This prevents safety issues from chewed wires and offers convenience.

Filter System and Replacement
The fountain uses a quintuple purification system:
- High-density sponge: Catches hair and food residues.
- Activated carbon: Effectively removes odors.
- Ion exchange resin: Softens tap water.
- Medical stone: Removes heavy metals.
- Non-woven fabric: Prevents mucus production.
Filters should be replaced regularly, typically every 2-4 weeks, depending on the number of pets and water quality. Rinse the filter weekly to remove accumulated fur.
