POOR OPERA TION AND PREMA TURE PUMP
F AILURE.
Always use genuine
DOG MA TE
3-Stage Filter
Cartridges (4 Pack, Product Ref. 386 - available from
www .pet-mate.com) which will ensure the healthiest
water for your pet and reduce pump maintenance
With one pet, we recommend you replace the filter
cartridge (F) monthly .
For two or more pets, you may need to replace the filter
cartridge more regularly if it becomes clogged.
If using two filter cartridges, we recommend that you
discard the lower cartridge only and fit a new cartridge
above the old upper cartridge.
2. Pump maintenance
IMPORT ANT : CLEANING THE PUMP IS ESSENTIAL
TO PREVENT THE BUILD UP OF LIMESCALE AND
SUBSEQUENT PUMP F AILURE. IN HARD WA TER
AREAS YOU MA Y NEED TO DO THIS A T LEAST
EVER Y TWO WEEKS.

retaining lock (C) clockwise, taking care to ease power
cord from recess (A3).

i) Remove front cover (J) by inserting a fingernail into
the seam and pulling away in the direction as shown
by arrow in Fig. 5.
ii) Remove impeller cover (K) by lifting from the small lip,
as circled in Fig. 6.
iii) Use pliers or tweezers to pull out impeller (L) which is
held in place by a magnet.
iv) Place all parts, including pump body (D) excluding
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 (M).
vi) Rinse all parts well and carefully reassemble.
D. TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Pump does not pump water or 'gurgles':
• When switching on for the first time or after
cleaning etc., wait a few minutes for pump to dispel
trapped air . If 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 water level is well above the ‘MIN’ mark
(X, Fig. 1).
• Check filter cartridge is clean and is not clogged.
• Pump requires maintenance. See C.2. above.
• Renew pump (Product Ref. 354 - available from
www .pet-mate.com).
2. Pet will not drink from 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.
