3. Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to assemble your FEELNEEDY Cat Water Fountain:

1. Prepare the Filter and Pump:

   Rinse the filter cartridge and sponge thoroughly under running water before first use. Insert the sponge into the pump's intake area. Attach the filter cartridge to the filter tray.

2. Assemble Components in Water Container:

   Place the water pump at the bottom of the stainless steel water container. Position the filter tray over the pump, ensuring the pump's nozzle aligns with the opening in the filter tray. Place the water tray on top of the filter tray. Insert the faucet into the designated hole on the water tray.

3. Fill with Water:

   Fill the stainless steel water container with clean water up to the "MAX" line indicated on the side window. Do not overfill. Ensure the water level is always above the "MIN" line to prevent the pump from running dry.
4. Connect Power:

   Connect the USB cable to the water pump and then to the USB power adapter. Plug the adapter into a standard electrical outlet. The fountain will begin operating.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Water Flow Modes

The FEELNEEDY fountain offers two distinct water flow modes to cater to your pet's preferences:

• Faucet Waterfall Mode: Water flows from the faucet spout, mimicking a running tap. This mode is ideal for pets who enjoy drinking from faucets.
• Fountain Mode: Water bubbles up from the center of the water tray, creating a gentle fountain effect. This mode is suitable for pets who prefer a bubbling water source.

4.2. Water Level Indicator

The fountain features a transparent window with "MAX" and "MIN" markings, allowing you to easily monitor the water level. Always ensure the water level is always above the "MIN" mark to prevent pump damage and ensure continuous operation. When the water level drops below the minimum, the pump may become louder, indicating a need for refilling.

4.3. Silent Operation

The FEELNEEDY fountain is designed for ultra-quiet operation, typically producing only a slight ripple sound of water. The pump is barely audible, ensuring it does not disturb your pets or your household. If you notice an increase in pump noise, it usually indicates that the water level is low and needs to be refilled.

5. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and filter replacement are crucial for maintaining water quality and extending the life of your fountain.

5.1. Cleaning the Fountain

The stainless steel water container, filter tray, and water tray are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. Important: The water pump and USB power adapter are NOT dishwasher safe and should never be exposed to high temperatures.

• Weekly Cleaning: Disassemble all parts. Wash the stainless steel bowl, filter tray, and water tray with mild soap and water, or place them in the dishwasher.
• Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all soap residue is completely rinsed off before reassembly.

5.2. Cleaning the Water Pump

Clean the water pump regularly (at least once a month, or more frequently depending on water quality and pet usage) to prevent mineral buildup and ensure optimal performance.

1. Disassemble Pump: Disconnect the power. Remove the pump from the fountain. Carefully remove the pump cover and the impeller cap.
2. Clean Impeller and Housing: Use a small brush (a toothbrush works well) to clean the impeller and the inside of the pump housing. Remove any hair, debris, or mineral deposits.
3. Rinse and Reassemble: Rinse all pump parts thoroughly with clean water. Reassemble the pump, ensuring all parts are securely in place.

5.3. Filter Replacement

The multi-filtration system includes a carbon filter and a sponge. These filters effectively remove hair, debris, odors, and impurities, providing fresh and clean water for your pet.

• Filter Cartridge: Replace the filter cartridge every 2-4 weeks, or more frequently if you have multiple pets or notice reduced water quality.
• Sponge: The sponge should be rinsed weekly and replaced every 2-4 weeks, or when it shows signs of wear or excessive debris.
