Working Mode Introduction
Power supply mode:
- Use of external power supply: The external power cord is required during use, which is suitable for use in areas with power sockets.
- Battery-operated use: There is a built-in rechargeable battery, which can be used without plugging in. It is suitable for indoor areas without power sockets.
Note: When used for the first time, it needs to be fully charged before use. If you need to use it immediately, you can connect the external power cord, charge the water fountain while working, and then unplug it when it is fully charged.
Water outlet mode:
- Regular Mode: This mode is only supported when external power is connected, providing 24 hours continuous water outlet.
- Induction Mode: This mode is only supported when battery powered. The water fountain has a built-in sensor that automatically dispenses water for 42 seconds when it detects pet activity within its sensing range. The induction range is approximately a 180-degree arc with a 50cm radius in front of the fountain.
Note: The back of the water fountain cannot sense pets, so it is necessary to place the back of the product against the wall to avoid affecting pets drinking water.

Troubleshooting
Problem | Solution |
---|---|
Water keeps spilling out of the water tray. | The filter may not be fully soaked. Please soak the filter in a clean bowl (not in the water tank) for 5 minutes before the first use. |
The pump stops working. | 1) Fill in water between MIN and MAX. The pump will fail if it runs dry. 2) Clean the pump, water tank, and drinking basin. 3) If the above solutions don't work, please contact us at support@petlibro.com |
How often should I change the filters? Where to get them? | Please replace the filter at least once every 2 weeks. For new filters, please contact support@petlibro.com. |
Why do I need to soak the filter before first use? | The filters absorb more water (and therefore clean more water) when they're wet and expanded. Soaking the filter removes particulate matter that may have settled on the filter. |
Water output speed slows down. | 1) For the first use (or reuse after long-time storage), the water pump needs to discharge air; it's normal if the water output speed slows down. 2) It is dirt in the pump; please refer to "How to Clean the Pump" in the manual to clean it. |
No water after installation | This product adopts a wireless pump, and the power supply mode of the water pump is induction power supply. Please ensure that the power supply is connected, the water tank and base are installed correctly, and the water pump and water tank are installed correctly. Please refer to the "How to Use" section of the manual. |
Black residues and dirt appear in the water tank and on the filter element | 1) Please ensure that clean water sources are replaced regularly. 2) Please make sure to soak and wash the filter element in advance. |
The battery is not charging. | Please do not disassemble the base and battery by yourself. If the original adapter cannot be used for charging, please contact us at support@petlibro.com. |
