Introduction

Sometimes, you may only need to clean the pump rather than replace it. If cleaning does not work, please carefully follow the operating instructions to replace the pump. Before replacing the pump, make sure to power off your pet fountain completely and disconnect from any external power source. After replacement, please test the fountain and ensure the pump works well.

  • Unplug the fountain from the electrical source and disconnect the inline plug.
