Setup

Follow these steps to install your new replacement pump:

1. Prepare the Fountain: Disassemble your cat water fountain and thoroughly clean all components, including the reservoir, trays, and any existing filters. Ensure all parts are dry before proceeding.
2. Install the Pump: Place the new JY-840 pump into the designated pump compartment within the fountain's reservoir. Ensure the pump is securely positioned and the power cord is routed through any cable guides or channels to prevent pinching.
3. Connect the Tubing: Attach the fountain's water outlet tubing to the nozzle of the pump. Ensure a snug fit to prevent leaks.
4. Add Water: Fill the fountain reservoir with clean water up to the recommended maximum level, typically indicated by a fill line or sensor.
5. Power Connection: Connect the USB power cord of the pump to a compatible DC 5V USB power adapter (not included). Plug the adapter into a wall outlet.

Operating Instructions

Once the pump is installed and the fountain is filled with water, plug the USB power adapter into an electrical outlet. The pump will immediately begin circulating water. The JY-840 pump operates at a low DC 5V voltage, ensuring ultra-quiet performance and low power consumption, designed to provide a peaceful environment for both you and your pets.

Troubleshooting

If your pump is not functioning correctly, consider the following common issues:

• No Water Flow:
  • Ensure the power adapter is securely plugged into a working outlet.
  • Check if the water level in the fountain is sufficient. The pump must be fully submerged.
  • Disassemble and clean the pump as described in the Maintenance section. Debris or hair can block the impeller.
• Weak Water Flow:
  • Clean the pump and impeller thoroughly.
  • Ensure there are no kinks or blockages in the water tubing.
• Excessive Noise:
  • Ensure the pump is fully submerged and not running dry.
  • Clean the impeller and its housing. Debris can cause vibrations and noise.
  • Verify the pump is securely seated in its compartment and not vibrating against the fountain walls.

If problems persist after following these steps, please refer to the Support section for further assistance.
