Product Information

Full details

The Dog Mate 8 Litre Stainless Steel Fountain is designed for pet parents seeking a reliable and hygienic hydration solution for their dogs. Its key benefit is providing 24/7 fresh, filtered water with the convenience of cordless placement, reducing concerns about trailing wires or chewing hazards. A minor caveat is that replacement filters require separate purchase. This fountain features a large 8-litre capacity, motion-activated sensor for battery conservation, whisper-quiet operation, and durable, food-grade stainless steel construction.

FAQs

How often should I replace the filter?

The filter should be replaced approximately every month. This frequency may need adjustment based on your pet's environment and the amount of debris captured.

What type of power adapter do I need to charge the fountain?

The fountain comes with a USB charging cable. You will need a standard USB power adapter (like those used for mobile phones) to plug into a wall socket for charging. The plug itself is not included.

Can this fountain be used outdoors?

Yes, the cordless design makes it suitable for outdoor use, provided it is placed in a sheltered area away from direct rain or extreme weather conditions.

Is the stainless steel safe for my pet?

Yes, the fountain is constructed from food-grade stainless steel, which is hygienic, durable, and free from the potential toxins found in some plastics.

How long does the battery last on a single charge?

In a one-pet household, the USB rechargeable battery typically lasts around 60 hours of use. This can vary depending on usage patterns and the frequency of the motion sensor activation.

How do I clean the stainless steel bowl?

The stainless steel bowl can be easily cleaned with mild soap and water. Rinse it thoroughly after washing. Regular cleaning prevents buildup and ensures hygiene.

What is the warranty period for this fountain?

The Dog Mate 8 Litre Stainless Steel Fountain comes with a 3-year warranty.

Troubleshooting

Fountain not dispensing water

Ensure the fountain is charged and turned on. Check that the water level is adequate. Verify the pump intake is not blocked by debris. Ensure the filter is correctly seated.

Water flow is weak or intermittent

Check the filter for clogs and replace if necessary. Ensure the pump is clean and free from obstructions. Confirm the battery is sufficiently charged.

Motion sensor not activating

Ensure the sensor is clean and unobstructed. Verify the battery has sufficient charge. Check that the pet is within the sensor's detection range.

Unusual noise from the pump

Check if the water level is too low, causing the pump to run dry. Ensure the pump is submerged and free from debris. The filter may need cleaning or replacement.

Fountain stops working after a period

The battery may need recharging. Check for any automatic shut-off features or internal issues. Ensure the unit is not overheating.
