4. Setup Guide
Follow these steps to assemble and set up your cat water fountain:
- Rinse Components: Thoroughly rinse the fountain base, top cover, water pump, and all filter components with clean water.
- Install Pump: Place the water pump into the designated slot at the bottom of the fountain base. Ensure the power cord is routed through the cable groove to prevent pinching.
- Place Filters: Insert a sponge filter onto the pump intake. Place an activated carbon filter into its designated tray on the fountain's top cover.
- Fill with Water: Fill the fountain base with clean water up to the 'MAX' line. The total capacity is 3.2 liters (108 oz). Do not overfill.
- Assemble Fountain: Carefully place the top cover onto the base, ensuring it is securely seated and the faucet aligns properly.
- Connect Power: Plug the power adapter into a standard wall outlet. The fountain will begin operating automatically.
Note: For the first use, soak the activated carbon filter in water for 3-5 minutes to remove any carbon dust before placing it in the fountain.

5. Operating Instructions
Once properly set up and plugged in, the GIOTOHUN H1-3.2L Cat Water Fountain will operate continuously, providing fresh, flowing water for your pet.
Water Flow Modes
The fountain offers two distinct water flow modes: a faucet mode and a bubbling fountain mode. These dynamic water flows are designed to attract pets and encourage them to drink more, which is beneficial for their kidney health.

LED Light Function
The built-in LED light illuminates the water tank, allowing you to easily monitor the remaining water level without needing to open the fountain. The light also serves to attract pets to the fountain, making it easier for them to find and drink water, especially in low-light conditions or at night.
