Next, remove the foam filter and rinse thoroughly in fresh water if you plan on
reusing the filter after cleaning. Or discard in the garbage, if you plan on replacing
with a new foam filter.
To remove the pump, take the power adaptor and unthread (untwist) the plastic
locking collar by twisting to the left. Once completely removed from the threads,
pull the electrical cord away from the adaptor and this will expose the two metal
prongs. With the adaptor detached from the electrical cord, pull the cord through
the opening on the inside of the bowl. Lift the pump and cord up from the bowl
and set aside for further cleaning, see Figures 9a and 9b.
FOUNTAIN DISASSEMBLY & CLEANING
7) The fountain should now be completely disassembled for proper cleaning. Wash
the fountain parts with soap and warm water and rinse thoroughly. If placing
the fountain parts inside the dishwasher, we recommend the top rack and/or
silverware holder. If possible, turn down the temperature of the water inside the
dishwasher. The pump is not dishwasher safe, hand wash only.

Filters are an added feature of the fountain. Their use is not required for normal
operation. However, when used properly and changed regularly, the filters help keep
the water cleaner and fresher, while extending the life of your fountain.
FOUNTAIN - CLEAN ONCE A WEEK
Foam Filter:
Replace the foam filter every 4 to 8 weeks, depending on
the location of the fountain and the number of pets using
it. If you do not intend to replace the filter at the time of
cleaning, rinse the foam filter thoroughly with fresh water.
