2. Clean Components: Wash all parts (except the pump and power cable) with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.
3. Prepare Filter: Soak the filter cartridge in clean water for at least 5 minutes before installation. This helps remove any loose carbon dust and ensures optimal filtration.
4. Assemble Water Tray 1: Insert the pump tube into the designated hole in Water Tray 1. Ensure it is securely fitted.
5. Install Filter: Place the soaked filter cartridge into the designated slot on Water Tray 2. Ensure the 'Outside' indicator on the filter faces outwards.

7. Place Main Unit Cover: Align and install the main unit cover (with 'Gardner Pet' branding) onto the assembled trays, ensuring it is securely clipped.
8. Install Splash Guard: Place the splash guard around the top edge of the water bowl.
9. Fill Water Bowl: Add fresh water to the water tank, ensuring it exceeds the minimum level but does not surpass the maximum level indicated on the side of the bowl.
10. Connect Power: Plug the USB power cable into the water pump and then into a suitable power adapter (adapter not included). The fountain will start operating.

Operating Instructions

The Gardner Pet Dog Water Fountain operates continuously once plugged in, providing a constant flow of fresh water.

• Vortex Circulation: The unique swirl design keeps the water oxygenated and moving, preventing the buildup of hair, dust, and debris. This also encourages pets to drink more.
• UV Filtration: The water pump has a built-in UV light that automatically activates when the fountain is running, helping to keep the water hygienic. The UV light is invisible from the outside.
• Maifan Stone Filtration: The 3-layer filter (non-woven fabric + natural Maifan stone + non-woven fabric) traps impurities, odors, and particles.
• Emergency Water Backup: The dual-dome drinking tray stores 400-450ml of water, ensuring your pets stay hydrated even during power outages.
• Quiet Operation: The fountain operates at less than 30dB, ensuring a peaceful environment for both pets and owners.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and filter replacement are crucial for maintaining water quality and the longevity of your fountain.

• Daily Water Refill: Check the water level daily and refill as needed. The 8L capacity typically lasts 5-7 days for large dogs.
• Weekly Cleaning: Disassemble the fountain (tool-free disassembly) and clean all parts, including the water bowl, trays, and splash guard, with mild soap and water.
• Pump Cleaning: Remove and clean the pump filter box, impeller cover, and impeller regularly to prevent mineral buildup and ensure proper water flow.
• Filter Replacement: Replace the filter cartridge every 30 days to ensure optimal filtration and water purity.

Troubleshooting

• No Water Flow: Check if the pump is properly connected and submerged. Ensure the pump and tubes are free from debris or mineral buildup. Clean the pump components as described in the Maintenance section.
• Weak Water Flow: This often indicates a clogged filter or pump. Clean the pump and replace the filter cartridge.
• Fountain is Noisy: Ensure the water level is above the minimum line. Clean the pump and impeller to remove any obstructions that might cause noise.
• Water Spills: The fountain features a splash-proof design with a buffer zone. Ensure the splash guard is correctly installed. If excessive splashing occurs, check for proper assembly and water level.
• UV Light Not Visible: The UV light is built inside the water pump and is designed to be invisible from the outside to protect pets. If you gently remove the small sponge filter on the pump, you may be able to spot the UV light inside.
