6. Operating Modes
The Voluas 309B offers three intelligent operating modes to suit your pet's needs and conserve battery life. Short press the function key on the pump module to switch between modes.
- Sensor Mode: The fountain activates water flow for 30 seconds when your pet is detected within a 5-foot range. This mode is ideal for battery conservation.
- Timer Mode: Water is dispensed for 15 seconds every 10 minutes. This mode offers a balance between continuous flow and battery efficiency.
- Continuous Flow Mode: Provides a constant stream of water 24/7. This mode requires the fountain to be continuously plugged into a power source.
The blue light indicator on the water level window signifies sufficient water. If the light turns red, it indicates low water level, and you should refill the basin.
