- Continuous Flow: Once plugged in, the fountain provides a continuous stream of fresh water.
- Water Level Monitoring: The large water viewing window with an optional blue LED light allows you to easily check the water level. Refill the tank when the water level approaches the 'MIN' line to prevent the pump from running dry.
- LED Light: The blue LED light can be turned on or off using the switch on the power cord.
- Flow Modes: The fountain offers two flow modes: a gentle fountain and a flower waterfall. These can be adjusted by changing the spout attachment.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and filter replacement are crucial for your pet's health and the longevity of the fountain.
- Weekly Cleaning: Disassemble all water-contact parts (water tank, drinking tray, flower spout). All stainless steel parts are top-rack dishwasher safe. Hand wash the pump and filters with mild soap and water.
- Filter Replacement: Replace the multi-stage filter every 2-4 weeks, or more frequently if you have multiple pets or notice reduced water flow.
- Pre-filter Sponge Cleaning: Clean the pre-filter sponge weekly and replace it every 1-2 months.
- Pump Cleaning: Use the provided cleaning brush to clean the inside of the pump, removing any hair or debris that may accumulate.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Veken Water Fountain, refer to the following common solutions:
