Pros and Cons

- Quiet pump operation prevents disruption

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the fountain, place the pump firmly into the designated slot and attach the filtration component. Fill the basin with cool, clean water until it reaches the recommended level, ensuring the pump is fully submerged to avoid damage. The fountain is highly compatible with standard indoor environments but should be kept on a flat, level surface near a power outlet. Maintenance is simple due to the ceramic construction: the bowl can be placed directly in the dishwasher for deep cleaning. Always ensure the pump is removed and cleaned manually using a soft brush to remove biofilm. Replace the filter every 3 to 4 weeks depending on the number of pets using the unit.
