Quadruple Filtration System
The AONBOY filter system employs a quadruple filtration process to ensure clean and fresh water for your pet:
- Sponge Filter: Acts as a pre-filter, capturing larger impurities such as pet hair and food particles.
- Cotton Layer (High-Density Cotton): Filters out fine hair and small particulate impurities.
- Activated Carbon (Coconut Shell Activated Carbon): Removes odors, chlorine, and improves water taste.
- Ion Exchange Resin: Softens water and helps remove heavy metals and metal ions that can contribute to urinary calculi in pets.

Setup and Installation
- Prepare Filters: Before first use, soak and rinse both the carbon filter and sponge filter under running water for 5 minutes. This activates the filter material and removes any loose carbon dust.
- Disassemble Fountain: Turn off and unplug the fountain. Disassemble the top tray and remove the old filter components.
- Install Sponge Filter: Place the new sponge filter around the pump intake.
- Install Carbon Filter: Insert the new carbon filter into its designated slot in the filter tray. Ensure it is seated correctly.
- Reassemble Fountain: Reassemble the fountain components, ensuring all parts are securely in place.
- Fill with Water: Fill the fountain reservoir with clean water to the appropriate level.
- Power On: Plug in the fountain and turn it on.
Maintenance and Replacement
Regular replacement of the filters is crucial for optimal performance and pet health.
- Replacement Frequency: It is recommended to change both the carbon filter and sponge filter every 2 to 4 weeks. The frequency may vary depending on the number of pets using the fountain and the hardness of your water.
- Cleaning: In between filter changes, the sponge filter can be rinsed to remove trapped debris. However, the carbon filter should be replaced as its filtration capacity diminishes over time.
Benefits of Proper Filtration
Maintaining a clean and properly filtered water source offers several benefits for your pet:
- Improved Hydration: Clean, fresh-tasting water encourages pets to drink more, which is vital for their overall health.
- Metabolic Support: Adequate hydration supports healthy metabolic functions.
- Reduced Risk of Urinary Tract Issues: Proper water intake can help reduce the risk of urinary tract infections and other related health problems in pets.
- Enhanced Water Quality: The multi-stage filtration removes impurities, odors, and softens water, providing a healthier drinking experience.
