SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
A. ASSEMBLY

1. Remove upper bowl moulding (A) as shown in Fig. 1 and adjust the flow rate (Fig. 2) as required. NOTE: An intermediate flow is recommended. Lower flows will give less water loss through evaporation. Higher flows will cool the water more and may be more appealing to your pet.
2. Remove filter cartridge (B) from the packaging and rinse under a tap to remove any charcoal dust. Insert filter cartridge(B) as shown in Fig. 1.
3. Replace upper bowl moulding (A) taking care to ensure it is fully seated. Fill a lower bowl (C) with water up to the ‘MAX’ mark (X, Fig. 1). Connect transformer (E) to pump (D) and plug into the power supply.
4. After a short period, water should start flowing. You may top up the main bowl (C) to the ‘MAX’ mark (X, Fig. 1) using a jug as required. WHEN IN USE, DO NOT LET THE WATER LEVEL FALL BELOW ‘MIN’ MARK (Y, Fig. 1).

B. CLEANING
Before introducing your pet to their new fountain we recommend you run the fountain for approximately 2 hours and then wash bowls (NC) as follows:

1. Turn off the power supply and unplug the transformer (E).
2. Remove upper bowl moulding (A) and filter cartridge (B) as shown in Fig. 1.
3. Remove pump (D) as shown in Fig. 3 by turning lock (F) a quarter turn and then pulling the pump in the direction indicated by arrow ‘2’. Ease the power cord out of the bowl (A). Bowls (NC) may be washed in a dishwasher.

C. MONTHLY MAINTENANCE (or when flow rate has noticeably reduced) 1. Filter cartridge replacement
A CLOGGED FILTER CARTRIDGE WILL CAUSE POOR OPERATION AND PREMATURE PUMP FAILURE.
Always use genuine Cat Mate Filter Cartridges to ensure the healthiest water for your pet. For hard water areas, we recommend Cat Mate 3-Stage Filter Cartridges (4 Pack, Product Ref. 386 – available from www.closerpets.com). With one cat, we recommend you replace the filter cartridge (B) monthly. For two or more cats, you may need to replace the filter cartridge more regularly if it becomes blocked.

Pump maintenance
IMPORTANT: CLEANING THE PUMP IS ESSENTIAL TO PREVENT THE BUILD-UP OF LIMESCALE AND SUBSEQUENT PUMP FAILURE. IN HARD WATER AREAS YOU MAY NEED TO DO THIS AT LEAST EVERY TWO WEEKS. Remove pump (0) as shown in Fig. 3. Ease the power cord out of the bowl (A). Carefully disassemble as follows:
i) Remove front cover (G) by inserting a fingernail into the seam and pulling away in the direction as shown by the arrow in Fig. 4.
ii) Remove impeller cover (H) by lifting from the small lip, as circled in Fig. 5. Di) Use pliers or tweezers to pull out impeller (I) which is held in place by a magnet.
iv) Place all parts, including pump body (D) excluding the power cord, into a small bowl containing a solution of warm water and vinegar in equal amounts and leave to soak.
v) After 2-3 hours rub off limescale deposits. Use a small brush or cotton bud to clean inside the impeller tunnel (J). vi) Rinse all parts well and carefully reassemble. D.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1. The pump does not pump water or ‘gurgles’:
   • When switching on for the first time or after cleaning etc., wait a few minutes for the pump to dispel trapped air. If the pump still fails to pump water, dismantle the pump as described in pump maintenance (section C.2) and rinse all parts in water to remove any debris.
   • Ensure the water level is filled to the ‘MAX’ mark (X, Fig. 1) and that the filter cartridge is not due for renewal.
   • Pump requires maintenance. See C2 above.
   • Renew pump (Product Ref. 354 – available from www.closerpets.com).

2. Pet will not drink from the fountain:
   • Most pets will be instantly attracted by the running water but sometimes need time to adapt to using their new water source. It may help to try switching off the pump initially.
   • Some pets are put off by contaminants in water which should normally be eliminated by the filter over the first day or so. Always take care to ensure that your pet does not become dehydrated.
   NOTE: The pet fountain and filter cartridge are manufactured entirely from BPA-free plastics for your pet’s health.

3. Excessive water loss by evaporation:
   • Set pump to minimum flow (Section A.1.).
