Operating Instructions

Once assembled and filled, the PETNF Pet Water Fountain will begin circulating water, providing a continuous flow that encourages pets to drink more. The quiet pump ensures minimal disturbance.

  • The fountain's 3-gallon capacity reduces the frequency of refills, ideal for large dogs or multiple pets.
  • The 1.2-inch deep drinking area minimizes splashing, keeping the surrounding area cleaner.
  • The 7-inch comfortable height accommodates various pet sizes, promoting a natural drinking posture.

Maintenance

Regular Cleaning

Regular cleaning is essential to maintain hygiene and prolong the life of your fountain. The SUS304 food-grade stainless steel construction helps prevent odor buildup and is easy to clean.

  • Daily: Check water level and refill as needed.
  • Weekly: Unplug the fountain. Disassemble all stainless steel parts (basin, tray) and wash them thoroughly with soap and water. All stainless steel components are dishwasher safe for maximum convenience. The smooth surface resists dirt buildup.
  • Monthly: Perform a deep clean of the pump (see 'Pump Maintenance' below).

Filter Replacement

The 7-layer filtration system effectively removes pet hair, dirt, heavy metals, and softens water. Filters should be replaced regularly to ensure optimal water quality.

  • Replace the filter cartridge every 2-4 weeks, or more frequently if you have multiple pets or pets that tend to track debris into the water.
  • To replace, unplug the fountain, remove the drinking tray, lift out the filter housing, and replace the old filter with a new one. Rinse the new filter before installation.

Pump Maintenance

The pump requires periodic cleaning to prevent blockages and ensure continuous water flow.

  • Unplug the fountain and remove the pump from the basin.
  • Disassemble the pump by carefully removing the cover and impeller.
  • Clean all pump components with a small brush to remove any hair, debris, or mineral buildup.
  • Reassemble the pump and place it back into the fountain.

Note for Heavy Droolers

For breeds known for heavy drooling (e.g., Saint Bernards, Newfoundlands), more frequent cleaning and filter changes may be necessary to maintain water freshness and fountain performance.
