- Prepare the Filter Core: Soak the filter core in clean water for approximately 2 minutes before first use. This helps to remove any loose carbon dust and prepares the filter for optimal performance.
- Assemble the Fountain: Place the water pump into the designated slot at the bottom of the fountain base. Add clean water to the reservoir, ensuring it reaches the maximum fill line. Install the pre-treated filter core into its housing, then place the drinking plate securely on top of the fountain base.
- Power On: Connect the power adapter to the fountain and then plug it into a standard AC outlet. The fountain will begin circulating water. Ensure the power cord is routed safely to prevent tripping hazards or pet chewing.
Operating Instructions
Once set up, the GROOVYPETS water fountain operates continuously to provide fresh water for your pets.
- Continuous Water Circulation: The fountain continuously circulates water, keeping it fresh and appealing. The free-falling water stream design encourages pets to drink more.
- Water Level Monitoring: The translucent basin allows for easy monitoring of the water level. Refill the fountain when the water level is low.
- Low Water Indicator & Auto Shut-off: The fountain features a bright LED light that will flash continuously when the water level becomes low. This indicates it's time to add more water. The pump also has an auto shut-off feature to prevent it from running dry, which helps extend its lifespan. Add water to stop the flashing and resume normal operation.
- Emergency Water Supply: In the event of a power outage, the stable water tray can still provide approximately 110 ml of water for your pet.
- Quiet Operation: The super quiet pump with a sound-absorbing muffler sponge ensures the fountain runs smoothly and virtually silently, with a noise level as low as 25dB.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and hygienic operation of your pet water fountain.
Cleaning the Fountain
- Frequency: It is recommended to clean the fountain at least once a week, or more frequently depending on usage and water quality.
- Disassembly: Unplug the fountain. Disassemble all removable parts: the drinking dish, hair catcher, water reservoir, and filter core.
- Dishwasher Safe Parts: The drinking dish, hair catcher, and the water reservoir are dishwasher safe.
- Hand Wash Only: The pump housing must be washed by hand. Do not immerse the entire pump in water. Use a small brush to clean any debris from the pump's impeller.
- Smooth Inner Wall: The fountain features a smooth inner wall surface, making it easy to clean each individual part.
- Reassembly: Ensure all parts are thoroughly rinsed and dry before reassembling.

Filter Maintenance and Replacement
- Filter Cleaning: Clean the filter regularly by rinsing it under running water. Gently rub to remove any external hair and debris. Regular cleaning extends the filter's life.
- Filter Replacement: The filter core has a 3-stage filtering system (primary filter cotton, activated carbon, ion exchange resin) to provide pure water. While cleaning extends its life, the filter will eventually need replacement to maintain optimal water quality. Replace the filter according to the manufacturer's recommendations or when you notice a decrease in water quality or flow.
