2.1 Filtration System Components

Each filter utilizes a multi-stage process to purify water:

Pre-filter Sponge: Designed to capture larger particles such as food scraps and pet hair, preventing them from entering the main filter.
Activated Carbon: Deep filtration layer that removes odors and chlorine, improving water taste and clarity.
Ion Resin: Eliminates calcium and magnesium ions, softening the water and further enhancing its quality for your pet.

3. Setup and Installation

Before installing a new filter, proper preparation is crucial to ensure optimal performance and water quality.

Soak the Filter: Submerge the new filter completely in water for 5 minutes. This helps to remove any loose carbon particles and prepares the filter for use.
Rinse the Filter: After soaking, rinse the filter thoroughly under running water for 30 seconds. This further cleans the filter and ensures no residue is introduced into the fountain.
