. Pump Maintenance
Important:
Cleaning the Pump is essential to the longevity of the Pet Fountain, as well
as the cleanliness of the water. Clean the Pump every two weeks. Warranty may be
voided if the Pump’s motor is not cleaned regularly.
1. Remove Pump from the Pet Fountain as explained in the “Pet Fountain Disassembly &
Cleaning” section.
2. Once the Pump is out of the Pet Fountain,
with your thumb and forefinger, gently
squeeze on either side of the Faceplate, and
pull it off. It may be necessary to insert a
fingernail into the seam of the Faceplate to
pry it off (
Fig. 7 & 8
).
3. Next, you will want to remove the Intake Plate by placing your fingernail underneath
the small lip located on the narrow side of the teardrop-shaped Intake Plate Pull-Tab
and pull it out (
Fig. 9
).
4. Once the Intake Plate is removed, you can also remove the Impeller (white, 3-bladed
propeller) which is held in place magnetically. To remove the Impeller, use a fingernail
to get underneath a blade and lift out (
Fig. 10
).
