Setup Guide
Follow these steps to assemble your Veken Pet Water Fountain:
- Rinse Components: Thoroughly rinse all parts of the fountain (stainless steel basin, lid, pump, filters, spout) with water before first use.
- Install Pump: Place the ultra-quiet DC pump into the designated slot at the bottom of the stainless steel basin. Ensure the power cord is routed through the groove to prevent pinching.
- Insert Pre-filter Sponge: Attach a pre-filter sponge to the pump intake to catch larger debris.
- Place Filter: Soak a new filter in water for 5 minutes. Then, place the multi-stage filter into the filter tray on the underside of the lid.
- Fill with Water: Fill the stainless steel basin with water up to the 'MAX' fill line. It is recommended to use softened or filtered water for best results.
- Attach Lid and Spout: Place the lid onto the basin, ensuring it is securely seated. Insert the flower spout into the pump's outlet on the lid. You can choose between the flower waterfall mode or remove the spout for a gentle bubbling surface.
- Connect Power: Plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet. The fountain will begin operating.

Operating Instructions
Water Flow Modes
The fountain offers two distinct water flow modes to cater to your pet's preferences:
- Flower Waterfall: Use the included flower spout for a gentle, flowing stream that encourages pets to drink. This mode is often preferred by picky pets.
- Gentle Bubbling Surface: Remove the flower spout for a calm, bubbling water surface. This mode is suitable for pets who prefer a quieter drinking experience or need more space.

Water Level Monitoring
The fountain features a large viewing window, enhanced by an optional blue LED light, allowing you to easily monitor the water level without disassembling the unit. Ensure the water level remains above the minimum fill line to prevent pump damage and maintain quiet operation.
