4. Setup Instructions

  1. Pre-soak Filter: Before first use, soak the carbon filter in clean water for 5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly under running water. This removes any loose carbon dust.
  2. Assemble Pump: Ensure the filter sponge is attached to the pump. If disassembled for cleaning, reassemble the pump components (impeller, impeller cover, pump housing) and attach the filter sponge.
  3. Place Pump: Position the assembled pump securely in the designated area within the stainless steel water tray.
  4. Fill Water Tank: Fill the stainless steel water tank with clean water. Observe the minimum and maximum fill lines indicated inside the tank. Do not overfill or underfill.
  5. Place Water Tray: Carefully place the water tray with the pump onto the water tank. Ensure the USB cable is routed through the designated groove to allow the tray to sit flush.
  6. Attach Spout: Insert the flower spout onto the pump's water outlet. You can choose to use the flower spout for multiple streams, or remove it for a gentle bubbling surface.
  7. Connect Power: Plug the USB cable into a compatible 5V USB power adapter (not included) and then into a power outlet. The LED indicator will illuminate, and water will begin to flow.

  • Dual Water Flow Modes: The fountain offers two water flow modes. Use the flower spout for multiple streams, or remove it for a gentle bubbling surface. Experiment to see which your pet prefers.
  • Emergency Water Storage: The design includes a 130ml emergency water storage area, ensuring your pet has access to water even if the power is interrupted or the main tank runs dry.
