- Disassemble Fountain: Carefully remove the top lid and the pump assembly from your 2.2L/74oz Wonder Creature Ceramic Cat Water Fountain.
- Install Sponge Filter: Locate the sponge filter housing around the pump. Insert a new sponge filter into this housing.
- Install Activated Carbon Filter: Place a new activated carbon filter into its designated slot on the fountain's top lid assembly. Ensure it sits securely.
- Reassemble Fountain: Carefully place the pump assembly back into the ceramic tank, ensuring the power cord is routed correctly. Then, place the top lid with the newly installed carbon filter back onto the ceramic tank.

4. Filtration System Overview
The Wonder Creature Ceramic Cat Water Fountain utilizes a triple filtration system to provide optimal water quality:
- Sponge Filter: This initial layer effectively traps larger particles such as pet hair, food debris, and sediment, preventing them from reaching the pump and extending its lifespan.
- Activated Carbon Filter: Composed of high-quality activated carbon, this filter significantly reduces chlorine, odors, and other impurities present in tap water, improving the taste and freshness for your pet.

5. Maintenance & Replacement
To ensure continuous optimal water quality and the longevity of your fountain, regular filter replacement is crucial:
- Replacement Frequency: For best results, it is recommended to replace both the activated carbon filter and the sponge filter every 2 to 4 weeks. This frequency may vary depending on the number of pets using the fountain and the hardness of your water.
- Cleaning: In addition to filter replacement, regularly clean the fountain, pump, and all components to prevent mineral buildup and maintain hygiene.
