  2. Sensor Mode: Water flows when a pet approaches within the detection range (approximately 120 degrees). This conserves battery life and encourages pets to drink fresh water.
  3. Timing Mode: Water flows for a short period every 20 minutes, providing regular hydration without constant motion detection.
  4. Normal Mode (Continuous Flow): Water flows continuously. This mode requires the fountain to be plugged in via the Type-C cable for uninterrupted power.

Observe your pet's preferences to select the most suitable mode.
