PET FOUNTAIN:
Clean the Pet Fountain once a week.
1. Lift the Reservoir out of the back of the Pet Fountain and quickly turn upright.
2. Unscrew the Reservoir Cap and remove the black O-ring.
3. Next, unplug the Pet Fountain and remove the Housing Lid.
4. Remove the Charcoal Filter.
5. Empty the water out of the Pet Fountain.
6. Remove the Housing by pressing in the tabs at the
sides and lifting up (
Fig. 5
).
7. The Flow Control Knob is not attached and it will
separate when the Housing is removed.
8. Clean away any hair, debris or kibble that may have
accumulated around the Flow Control Knob or
Intake Plate.
9. Lift the Intake Plate up and out of the Bowl.
10. Turn the Bowl over and unlock the Pump from its cavity
by slipping your finger into the indentation behind the
Pump and pulling that end of the Pump out toward you,
so that it has turned a quarter of a turn (
Fig. 6
). Do not attempt to remove Pump
without turning it 90 degrees, this may damage the Pet Fountain and cause a leak.
11. Now that the Pump is unlocked, remove it from the Pet Fountain. If you find this difficult,
you can push the Pump out from the Bowl side.
12. Once the Pet Fountain is completely disassembled you will have 7 plastic parts.
13. Clean the plastic parts with warm water and soap. You can also put the Pet Fountain
in the dishwasher. Remove the Pump before placing in the dishwasher. NEVER PLACE
PUMP IN IN DISHWASHER! If possible, it is recommended that you turn down the
heat of the water inside the dishwasher. The Pet Fountain may also be cleaned with
a diluted vinegar soulution (20% white vinegar and 80% water). Be sure to rinse
thoroughly with fresh water. The Reservoir is not dishwasher safe.
14. If you have trouble reaching certain spots or hard-to-reach corners, try using a cotton
swab or the brushes from the Drinkwell
®
Cleaning Kit, 3-piece Brush Kit. To clean the
square Intake Tube of the Bowl, use the longest brush from the Drinkwell
®
Cleaning Kit
(
Fig. 7
). To purchase a Cleaning Kit, visit our website at www.petsafe.net to locate a
