Place the fountain in desired location. Make sure to use a
protective surface, such as a towel or place mat, to protect
your floors from splashing or dripping from your pet.
Replace the filter and fill the housing, bowl, and reservoir with
water. Replace the lid.
Before you plug the fountain in, make sure your hands and the
cord are dry. Check the cord for any damage before plugging
in the fountain. Plug the fountain into an electrical outlet.
THE FOUNTAIN AND YOUR
ENVIRONMENT
If you live in a humid environment and have problems with mold or
algae, soak all the parts in a diluted bleach solution for about 10
minutes after regular cleaning. Use a 10% bleach and 90% water
solution. Pour some of the bleach solution down into the motor cavity
too. This is an excellent way to disinfect the fountain. However, you
must be sure to rinse all the parts thoroughly in water to remove all
the chlorine.
If you have hard water, you may start to see white mineral deposits
on or inside the motor. This can eventually prevent the impeller from
turning properly. To avoid having to replace the motor, please take
the following steps:

Clean the motor more frequently than you have in the past; or
Clean the motor with a vinegar solution (20% White Vinegar and
80% Water) and let the solution soak for several minutes down
inside the motor cavity; or
Use bottled water instead of faucet water.
