2. Setup and Installation
Proper installation of the filter components is crucial for optimal performance of your cat water fountain.
Initial Preparation:
- Soak the Filter Cartridge: For first-time use, soak the filter cartridge in clean water for 5 minutes. This helps activate the filter materials.
- Rinse the Filter Cartridge: After soaking, rinse the filter cartridge under running water for 30 seconds to remove any loose carbon particles.

3. Operating Principles (Layered Purification)
The NOBXBON filter system employs a four-stage vertical purification process to ensure the water your pet drinks is clean and fresh.
- Activated Carbon Layer: Adsorbs odors and improves the freshness of the drinking water.
- Ion Exchange Resin: Softens water and effectively reduces heavy metals.
- Ultra-fine Non-woven Fabric: Intercepts hair and particulate impurities.
- Built-in Pump Sponge: Blocks debris to protect the water pump from larger particles.

4. Maintenance and Replacement
Regular maintenance and timely replacement of filters are essential to ensure the longevity of your fountain and the purity of your pet's water.
Filter Replacement Schedule:
- It is recommended to replace the filter cartridge every 2 weeks to maintain optimal filtration performance.
- The pre-filter sponge should also be replaced every 2-3 weeks.
- For households with multiple pets, or if the water appears cloudy, increase the frequency of cleaning and filter replacement.

Cleaning the Sponge:
The pre-filter sponge can be rinsed and gently cleaned to remove trapped hair and debris between replacements. However, it should still be replaced regularly as per the schedule.

5. Troubleshooting (Related to Filter Performance)
If you encounter issues with your cat water fountain's performance, consider the following points related to the filter system:
- Reduced Water Flow: This often indicates a clogged filter cartridge or sponge. Replace both components as per the recommended schedule. Ensure the pump is also clean and free of debris.
- Unpleasant Odor/Taste: If the water develops an odor or taste, the activated carbon in the filter may be saturated. Replace the filter cartridge immediately.
- Visible Impurities in Water: If hair or particles are visible, the filter sponge or cartridge may be compromised or overdue for replacement. Ensure proper installation and replace if necessary.
- Fountain Not Working (General): While not directly filter-related, a severely clogged pre-filter sponge can sometimes impact pump function. Disassemble the pump, clean the small motor, and ensure all filter components are correctly installed.
