The Pet Fountain and Your Environment

If you live in a humid environment and have problems with mold 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!
