4) Take the bowl and place
the pump inside the square
indention. Make sure the
circular opening on top of
the pump is positioned in the
bottom right corner of the
square (Fig. 2). The foam filter
will be slightly compressed
between the pump and the
post. Press down on the pump
to engage the suction cups.
Once the pump is securely in
place, feed the cord over and
through the raised post and out
the notch on the bottom side of
the bowl (Fig. 3).

6) Rinse the charcoal filter thoroughly in cold water to help remove any
excess and loose charcoal dust. Once the filter is rinsed off, place
inside the filter housing case with the larger side facing down (Fig. 6).
The filter will only fit inside the case one way, if it does not fit, flip it
over. Attach the lid to the filter housing case, press down until you
hear it snap in place.

7) Attach the filter housing case to the pump by inserting the raised notch
into the circular opening on top of the pump (Fig. 7). The opening on
top of the filter housing should be right next to the sealed raised post.

8) Align the tower with the circular indentation inside the bowl and
carefully lower it until it rests flat. The rubber grommet will create a
seal between the filter housing and the tower.

9) Place the fountain in a desired location. If placing on carpet,

tile or wood flooring, use a protective mat or other durable,
water resistant surface. This will help protect your floor from any

splashing or spills caused by your pet.

10) Fill the fountain by pouring water directly into the bowl. Leave at
least a half inch (1.27 cm) of space between the water level and the
rim of the bowl to help control spills and splashing.

11) Make sure the cord, the adaptor and your hands are completely dry
before you plug the fountain in. Connect the inline plug and make sure
no silver is showing, then plug the adaptor into an electrical outlet.

12) Add water to the fountain as needed. Never let the water level fall
below 1” (2.54 cm) in height or you may risk burning out the pump.
Replacement pumps are sold separately by calling Customer Care
at 800-732-2677 or online at www.petsafe.net.

NOTE: Always rinse the charcoal filter prior to use. A small amount of charcoal dust

may shed for the life of the filter, this is normal and not harmful to your pet.

5) Remove the extra slack from the cord and insert the rubber cap
into the raised post. Make sure the cutout channel is aligned with
the cord, then insert your finger and push all the way down (Fig. 4).
Fold the top of the cap over the post to seal off the bowl (Fig. 5).
