Flower Fountain – Getting Started

Discover your brand-new Catit Flower Fountain thanks to these tips and tricks

Some cats get a little too curious when they first see their new Flower Fountain and use their paws to swat at the streams, so be aware that your floor could get a little wet during those first few days.

IMPORTANT: What to do first?

Before assembling the Flower Fountain, please make sure to prepare the following components:

Pump
– disassemble and rinse the pump.

Filter
– vigorously shake and tap the dry filter on a hard surface to prevent the granules inside from clumping together.
– thoroughly rinse the filter to prevent black sediment from leaking into your fountain.
– submerge the filter in a bucket of water and press on the cotton mesh so the air can escape. This will prevent the filter from floating

Don’t forget to read the manual that was included with your cat fountain or download the instruction manual here.

How do I (dis)assemble my Flower Fountain?

Read the instruction manual that was included with your cat fountain or download the instruction manual here.

How do I remove the flower bud?

First, take the flower out of the fountain and hold it upside down. At the bottom of the flower are 3 small, yellow rims. Use a pen or screwdriver to push these rims inwards. Finally, pull the yellow flower bud upwards to remove it.

Maintenance

How do I clean the Flower Fountain?

Watch the video above for cleaning instructions.
All components can be washed with warm water, using a soft sponge and dishwashing soap. Never use aggressive detergents or an abrasive sponge. Please clean the top parts of the Flower Fountain regularly to prevent chalk from settling on the fountain.

How do I clean the Flower Fountain pump?

The pump should be removed from the fountain and disassembled for cleaning on a biweekly basis. For instructions, watch the video above. Rinse each part separately with water before reassembling. If your pump might not seem powerful enough, the slider might be slid to the wrong side. Slide the slider to the + side for a maximum capacity. Please note that only newer models of the Flower Fountain have this slider.

Why is there black sediment in my fountain?

The black sediment is active carbon that leaked from the filter. The black discharge can be prevented by rinsing the filter thoroughly under the tap for several minutes before placing it inside the Flower Fountain.
