4. Next, you will want to remove the Intake Plate by placing your fingernail
underneath the small lip located on the narrow side of the tear drop shaped
Intake Plate Pull-Tab and pull it out (
fig. 22-23
).
5. Once the Intake Plate is removed, you can also
remove the Impeller (white, 3-bladed propeller)
which is held in place magnetically. To remove
the Impeller, use a fingernail to get underneath a
blade and lift out (
fig. 24
).
6. Once the Pump is disassembled you can clean
the parts with warm soapy water. Use a cotton
swab or the “motor” brush from the Drinkwell
®
Cleaning Kit to get into the Pump’s motor cavity
and remove any build-up. For added disinfecting
and hard water removal, clean the Motor with white vinegar.
7. Once the parts are clean you can reassemble the Pump for use.
a) Replace the Impeller.
b) Replace the Intake Plate.
c) Replace the Faceplate with the Flow Control Knob attached to it.
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.
