Product Overview: 5-Layer Filtration System

The Smartoo replacement filters feature an advanced 5-layer filtration system designed to provide superior water purification for your pet:

1. Activated Carbon: Effectively removes bad taste and odors from the water.
2. Ion Exchange Resin: Helps to soften tap water, reducing mineral buildup.
3. Medical Stone: Removes heavy metals and releases beneficial trace elements into the water.
4. Non-woven Fabric: Filters out hair and other larger impurities.
5. High-Density Sponge: Located on the pump, this sponge helps remove fine particles and protects the pump from debris.

Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to prepare and install your new filters and sponges:

1. Prepare the Filter: Before first use, soak the new filter in clean water for 5 minutes. After soaking, rinse the filter thoroughly under running water for 30 seconds. This activates the filtration materials and removes any loose carbon dust.
2. Replace the Pre-filter Sponge: Locate the pump unit within your Smartoo water fountain. Carefully remove the old pre-filter sponge from the pump. Install the new pre-filter sponge onto the pump, ensuring it fits snugly.
3. Install the Main Filter: Remove the old main filter from its designated slot in the fountain's top section. Place the prepared new filter into the slot, ensuring it sits correctly and securely.
4. Reassemble and Refill: Reassemble the fountain components. Fill the water tank with fresh, clean water up to the maximum fill line.

Maintenance

To ensure optimal filtering effect and the health of your pet, adhere to the following maintenance guidelines:

• Filter Replacement: It is recommended to replace both the main filter and the pre-filter sponge every 1-2 weeks.
• Fountain Cleaning: Regularly clean the entire fountain, including the tank, tray, and pump. If you have multiple pets, it is recommended to clean the fountain and change the filter more often due to increased usage and potential debris.

Troubleshooting

If you experience any issues with water quality or fountain performance, consider the following:

• Reduced Water Flow: This often indicates a clogged filter or sponge. Replace both the main filter and the pre-filter sponge. Ensure the pump is clean and free of debris.
• Unpleasant Odor/Taste: This is a strong indicator that the filters need immediate replacement. Also, thoroughly clean the entire fountain to remove any biofilm buildup.
• Visible Impurities: If you see hair or other particles in the water, the filters may be saturated or improperly installed. Replace filters and ensure correct placement.
