3. Operating Instructions
Once the filter is installed and the fountain is filled and powered on, the filtration system will continuously work to provide clean water. The 5-layer filtration process ensures that water circulating through the fountain is purified before your pet drinks it.
The activated carbon layer absorbs odors and tastes, while the ion exchange resin targets heavy metals. The non-woven fabric layers capture larger particles and sediment, contributing to the overall clarity and safety of the water.
4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your PawsPik SS-01 water fountain and its filters is crucial for optimal performance and your pet's health.
- Filter Replacement: PawsPik recommends changing your fountain water filters every 2 to 4 weeks. The exact frequency may vary depending on your local water quality, the number of pets using the fountain, and how often the fountain is cleaned.
- Fountain Cleaning: In addition to replacing filters, regularly clean the entire water fountain, including the pump, reservoir, and trays, to prevent bacterial growth and mineral buildup. Refer to your PawsPik SS-01 Stainless Steel Water Fountain manual for detailed cleaning instructions.

5. Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your PawsPik SS-01 water fountain's performance, consider the following filter-related troubleshooting steps:
- Reduced Water Flow: If the water flow from the fountain decreases, the filter may be clogged. Try rinsing the filter thoroughly. If the issue persists, replace the filter.
- Unpleasant Odor/Taste: An unusual odor or taste in the water indicates that the filter's activated carbon is saturated or the filter needs replacement. Replace the filter immediately.
- Visible Impurities: If you notice visible particles or debris in the water despite the fountain running, the filter may be compromised or past its effective lifespan. Replace the filter.
