Operating Modes
The PEKTACO PD-412 offers three distinct operating modes:

- Sensor Mode: The fountain detects pets within a range of 5 feet and activates water flow when they approach. This conserves battery life and provides fresh water on demand.
- Continuous Mode: Provides a constant flow of water 24/7. This mode requires the fountain to be connected to a wired power supply.
- Timer Mode: The fountain dispenses water for 15 seconds every 10 minutes. This mode balances water availability with battery conservation.
To switch between modes, refer to the button on the main control module. A short press typically cycles through the modes, indicated by a change in LED light or water flow pattern.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity of your fountain and the health of your pet.
Cleaning the Fountain:
- Disassembly: Unplug the fountain (if applicable) and remove the main control module, pump, and filter.
- Stainless Steel Bowl: Wash the stainless steel bowl with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue. The BPA-free design allows for easy cleaning.
- Pump: Disassemble the pump and clean all components, including the impeller, with the provided cleaning brush. Ensure no hair or debris obstructs the pump's operation.
- Filter Case and Faucet: Clean these parts with water and a brush.
