Congratulations on your new Drinkwell® 360 Stainless Steel Pet Fountain! The
fountain will come partially assembled; however, it is a good idea to make sure
none of the fountain pieces have come loose during shipping. Your new fountain
is composed of several plastic & metal parts, a replaceable charcoal lter and a
low voltage submersible pump. (See Fig. 1)

1) As with any electrical device, check the
electrical cord for any tears or damage
before use.
2) Make sure the inline plug is connected.
(See Fig. 2)

IMPORTANT: Rinse the lter thoroughly under cool
water before placing into the housing! This will remove
any loose charcoal dust, which is harmless to your pet.
A small amount of charcoal dust may shed for the life
of the lter. This is normal and not harmful to your pet.
The lter should be replaced every two weeks for best
performance. Filters may need to be changed more
frequently depending on the number of pets using the
fountain. If you notice a decrease in the ow of the water
that is not corrected by increasing the ow control to max
ow, this may be an indication of a clogged and dirty
lter and/or the need to rinse and clean the lter housing.
Consult the Fountain Disassembly and Cleaning Section
of this manual for details on cleaning and maintaining your
fountain.

FOUNTAIN DISASSEMBLY & CLEANING

cleaning solutions, sponges, or pads. These abrasive surfaces can
scratch the stainless steel parts. The Fountain Must Be Cleaned
Regularly To Continue Working Normally!
FILTERS:
1) Filters should be changed approximately every two weeks. Replace
lters more frequently when using the fountain for multiple pets or pets
that produce a lot of saliva.
2) Filters are an added feature of the fountain. Their use is not required for
normal operation.

12) Place fountain in desired location. To take care of your oors, we suggest
to always use a protective mat or other durable, water resistant surface.
This will help protect your oor from any water that may splash out from
your pet’s use of the fountain.
13) Fill the fountain bowl with water. Make sure the water level is at least to
the MIN Fill Line so the pump does not run dry. This will prime the pump
for use. Do not ll the fountain past the MAX Fill Line.
14) Before plugging the fountain into electricity, make sure the cord and your
hands are completely dry. Plug the fountain in.
15) Add water as needed. Never let the water level fall lower than the MIN
Fill Line (approx. 1” above the bottom of the bowl) or the pump may fail.
To properly pick up the fountain, use both hands and grip underneath
the sidewalls of the bowl and lift. IMPORTANT: Never pick up a full
fountain by the center cone piece!
1) Unplug fountain from electrical source and disconnect the inline plug.
(See Fig. 2)
2) Remove the ow control cap and spout ring.
3) Next, remove the three cord clips by gently pulling the two-prong clip
up and away from the bottom of the bowl. Set the cord clips aside.
