Key Definitions
Bowl: The Bowl is the foundation of the Pet Fountain. It features a “Cord Channel” to
hide the electrical power cord from view.
Housing: Water is pumped up through the Housing to cycle through the Charcoal Filter and out the spout to create a waterfall into the Bowl.
Housing Lid: The Housing Lid snaps in place over the Housing, keeping pets out of the Charcoal Filter.
Charcoal Filter: The 3-layer filter is made with activated charcoal derived from coconut shells. The Charcoal Filter absorbs bad tastes and odours as the water passes through and helps keep the water tasting fresh and more appealing to pets.
Foam Filter: The Foam Filter collects any hair, debris, and pet food before they reach thePump. It is important to use the Foam Filter as it helps maintain proper Pumpfunction.
Pump: The small aquarium Pump can be partially dismantled for cleaning. THE PUMP IS NOT DISHWASHER SAFE! Remove Pump from the Pet Fountain before cleaning (see “Pump Maintenance” section for detailed instructions). The Pump also features an In-Line Plug for easy attachment and removal.
Operating Instructions
• Do not use outdoors. Do not run dry. For indoor household useonly.
• Do not pull on the electrical power cord to remove the plug from the electrical outlet.
• To unplug, grasp the plug, not the electrical power cord.
NOTE
Rinse all Pet Fountain parts with warm water before operating the Pet Fountain,
including the Pump. Refer to the “Pump Maintenance” section of this Operating Guide for detailed instructions on how to properly clean your Pump. This will remove any dust or residue that remain in the system from the manufacturing process.
1. Carefully remove all the Pet Fountain components from the packaging and set aside prior to assembly.
2. As with any electrical appliance, check the electrical power cord for any tears or damage before use.
3. Remove the Housing Lid by placing a finger underneath the tabs on either side of the lid and lift up (Fig. 1).

Pet Fountain Disassembly and Cleaning
• Pet Fountain must be cleaned to continue working normally.
• Never wash the filters with soapy water, as the soap residue will seep into the filters and cannot be removed. Only rinse the filters with water.
FILTER SYSTEM
The Pet Fountain is equipped with two types of filters that should be replaced on a regular basis. The Charcoal Filter removes bad tastes and odours, keeping water fresh. The Foam Filter collects hair, debris and pet food and prevents them from reaching the Pump, providing optimal filtration. The filters together will keep the Pump cleaner and provide fresher water to your pet.
CHARCOAL FILTER (MAC1915764): Replace every two to four weeks.
• Always rinse the Charcoal Filter prior to use.
• A small amount of charcoal dust may be released for the life of the filter; this is normal and is not harmful to your pet.
• Replace filters more frequently when using the Pet Fountain for multiple pets or pets that produce a lot of saliva.
FOAM FILTER (MC1915765): Replace the Foam Filter every one to two months, depending on the number of pets using the Pet Fountain. If you do not intend to replace the filter at the time of cleaning, rinse the Foam Filter thoroughly with freshwater.
Filters are an added feature of the Pet Fountain. Using the filters is not required for normal operation. However, when used properly and changed regularly, the filters help keep the water cleaner and fresher, while extending the life of your Pet Fountain.

The Pet Fountain and Your Environment
If you live in a humid environment and have problems with mould or algae, soak all Pet Fountain parts in a diluted vinegar solution (20% white vinegar and 80% water) for 10 minutes after regular cleaning. Also, pour the diluted vinegar solution into the Pump’s motor cavity.
If you have hard water, small white mineral deposits may form on or inside the Pump. This can eventually prevent the impeller from turning properly. To avoid replacement or damage to the Pump, please take the following precautions:
• Clean the Pump more frequently
• Clean the Pump with a diluted vinegar solution weekly
• Use bottled water instead of tap water
General Tips
• When being introduced to the Pet Fountain, your pet may be cautious of this new and unusual object. After beginning operation of your Pet Fountain, simply allow your pet to adjust at his or her own pace. Some pets may take several days or longer to begin use, while others will start right away.
• Your pet may prefer that the Pet Fountain be placed away from their normal feeding area. Try placing it in another location, such as a different area of the kitchen or in a bathroom or utility room.
• Add ice cubes to the Bowl for refreshing, ice-cold running water.

Troubleshooting
The answers to these questions should help you solve most problems you may have with the Pet Fountain. If they do not, please contact our Customer Care Centre.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
The Pump is not working or the water is not flowing as much as it used to.
• Never let the water in the Bowl get below the minimum fill level. This can cause the Pump to overheat and stop functioning. When refilling the Bowl, make sure to add water before turning the Pet Fountain on.
• Lack of regular cleaning may result in the Pump becoming clogged with pet hair and food debris. The Pump must be cleaned every 2-4 weeks to ensure proper function.
• Fill the Pet Fountain with water up to the max fill line.
The Pet Fountain is too loud.
• A low humming noise is normal, but it should not be loud. Check the water level. If water level is too low, then the Pump will have to work harder causing it to be louder than normal.
• Unplug the Pet Fountain for 15 seconds. If the noise does not stop when plugged back in, it’s possible that some debris is caught on the Impeller. Remove the Pump and clean the Impeller. Try rubbing a small amount of vegetable oil onto the magnetic pin with a cotton swab to lubricate the Impeller.
There are black particles in the Bowl.
• This is loose granulated charcoal dust from the Charcoal Filter and is completely harmless for your pet to drink. Rinse the Charcoal Filter in cold water before placing it in the Pet Fountain to prevent this.

Troubleshooting (Continued)
PROBLEM SOLUTION
The Pet Fountain feels slimy.
• If you have multiple pets or dogs using the Pet Fountain, the slimy feeling may be caused by your pet’s saliva. Change the water and clean your Pet Fountain more frequently to preventthis.
• Make sure the Pet Fountain parts are rinsed thoroughly after cleaning the Pet Fountain. Soap residue may cause thesliminess.
The Adaptor is warm to the touch.
• Unplug the Pet Fountain and Plug it into a surge protector.
The Pet Fountain is leaking.
• Sometimes water around the Pet Fountain is caused by pets drinking. Some pets are prone to spilling. Watch your pet when they drink to see if this is the cause. If it is, you can purchase a fountain mat or other water-resistant mats to place under the Pet Fountain.
The Pet Fountain seems dirty even after cleaning.
• If there is a white chalky substance in the Pet Fountain, your Pet Fountain may have a mineral deposit build-up from hard water. To remove these deposits, clean the Pet Fountain parts with 80% water, 20% vinegar solution. Rinse all parts thoroughly afterwards. Use filtered or purified water instead of hard tap water to prevent this.
