IS THE SANISOLUTION CLEANER SAFE FOR MY CAT?
Yes, SaniSolution is safe for cats. Its ingredients are like those used by veterinarians
to clean their exam room and operating areas. Liquid in the Cartridge is highly
concentrated. In this form, it is safe as long as it is in the Cartridge. When used in
the CatGenie, it is diluted with water so it is always safe for your pets (and for you!)
HOW LONG DOES THE SANISOLUTION LAST?
On Cat Activation, one SaniSolution Cartridge is good for 240 washes. On Time
Activation or Manual Mode, one cartridge is good for 120 washes. Always keep extra
Cartridges on hand. The price of SaniSolution equals the yearly cost of cat litter, yet
it’s just a fraction of the size and weight of litter.
DOES THE SANISOLUTION DISSOLVE OR LIQUEFY SOLIDS?
No. The solids are turned into wastewater by the action of the Impeller, which is
inside the Hopper. The SaniSolution washes and effectively cleans the Washable
Granules, GenieHand and Bowl.
CAN I REFILL THE SANISOLUTION CARTRIDGES?
No, the Cartridge cannot be relled. CatGenie Cartridges are designed to dispense
the exact amount of our vet-approved SaniSolution, keeping it safe for your
CatGenie, pets, people, the planet and plumbing. No other cleaning solutions can be
safely used in our system.
IS THE CATGENIE ECO FRIENDLY?
Yes. The CatGenie Washable Granules and SaniSolution cleaning cycle eliminates
the need for cat litter. Unlike any type of litter, the SaniSolution and the Washable
Granules are environmentally friendly and septic-safe. Plus many components of
CatGenie Cartridges are recyclable.
WHAT HAPPENS IF MY CAT IS IN THE BOWL DURING CLEANING?
The CatGenie has sensors, GenieEyes, which delay the cleaning cycle until your cat
is safely out of the CatGenie.
WILL MY WATER BILL INCREASE BY USING THE CATGENIE?
Your water bill should not have a signicant increase. Running a CatGenie is equal to
a few additional toilet ushes per day.
WHERE DOES WASTEWATER GO WHEN IT LEAVES THE UNIT?
Wastewater drains safely out of your home into your home's waste pipes. When used
in a bathroom, the Drain Hose hooks over the toilet rim; waste drains into the toilet.
When used in a laundry room, waste goes into the Washer’s drain pipe.
CATGENIE FAQS

www.catgenie.com 1-888-735-39275
CATGENIE FAQS
IN A LAUNDRY ROOM, COULD WASTE WATER GET ON
CLOTHING?
No. When properly hooked in the washing machine drain pipe, waste water can
not touch laundry. The drain pipe should connect directly into the sewer/septic
tank. NOTE: The length of the Washer’s drain hose inside its waste pipe must
be less than 5 inches to avoid spillage.
IN A BATHROOM, CAN THE TOILET BE USED DURING A CYCLE?
Yes, the CatGenie does not interfere with toilet use.
CAN A TOILET OVERFLOW WHEN WASTE WATER GOES INTO IT?
No. Water in a toilet automatically lowers to its preset level and will not overow
unless your toilet is clogged.
WHAT HAPPENS IF SOLIDS STICK TO THE GENIEHAND?
During all three washings, the GenieHand gets scrubbed clean by the action
of water, SaniSolution and Washable Granules. The GenieHand is also easily
removable should a manual cleaning be required.
DO THE WASHABLE GRANULES ABSORB?
No, the cat-safe Washable Granules are completely non-absorbent. Liquid
waste drains through them into the CatGenie base and is ushed away. Unlike
traditional litter, the Washable Granules are thoroughly washed each cleaning
cycle. They fulll your cat’s need to dig and cover.
WHAT HAPPENS IF WASHABLE GRANULES ARE SWALLOWED?
The Granules are non-toxic for both cats and humans and can easily pass
through their respective digestive systems.

SUPPLIES
WASHABLE GRANULES
While the Washable Granules never need changing, they do need to be
replenished. Just add Granules when the amount falls below the ll-level line,
which is indicated by an indentation inside the Bowl. It is important to keep the
Granules lled to that level. Always have an extra box of Washable Granules
on hand. Do not ll past the ll-level line.
FILL TO THIS LINE
WARNING: Never, under ANY circumstances use cat litter in your
CatGenie. Doing so will cause severe damage to your CatGenie
and will void your Warranty. Always make sure you are using
CatGenie Washable Granules.
SANISOLUTION
SaniSolution is safe and non-toxic for cats and
humans when properly used in the CatGenie.
Ingredients are similar to cleaners used by
veterinarians to clean exam and operating areas.
The SaniSolution Cartridge is the key to
CatGenie operation and cat protection.
The CatGenie will alert you via the App and
SaniSolution Level Indicator on the Control Panel
when your CatGenie is running low or needs a new
cartridge. The CatGenie App will also indicate the
exact number of washes left on your SaniSolution
Cartridge.
SANISOLUTION LEVEL INDICATOR
The Level Indicator on your Control Panel will display your
Cartridge level at all times. Five levels are used to give you
an estimated reading:
Solid, Full Drop: All 3 LEDS Lit
Indicates your SaniSolution Cartridge has
from 120/120 to 81/120 washes remaining.
Medium Level: 2 LEDS Lit
Indicates your SaniSolution Cartridge has
from 80/120 to 41/120 washes remaining.
Low: 1 LED Lit
Indicates your SaniSolution Cartridge has
from 40/120 to 21/120 remaining.
Very Low: 1 LED + Blinking
Indicates your SaniSolution Cartridge has
from 20/120 to 1/120 washes remaining. The
CatGenie will verbally tell you the Cartridge
is low. If you do not have a Cartridge on
hand, order a new one now.
Empty Cartridge: All 3 LEDS +
Blinking
The SaniSolution Indicator will be blinking
and the CatGenie will notify you that the
Cartridge is empty if any button is pressed
on the Control Panel. You will not be able to
run a cycle if your Cartridge is empty.
Missing Cartridge:
The SaniSolution Indicator will blink along with the
Red Error LED and the CatGenie will notify you of
the missing Cartridge if any button is pressed on the
Control Panel.
When Cartridge is missing or empty, the CatGenie
will not run a cycle. To dismiss the warning, insert
a SaniSolution Cartridge.
WARNING: NEVER remove the Cartridge
while CatGenie is cleaning. Unit will stop.
DO NOT REMOVE WHITE NIPPLE on bottom of the cartridge. Solution
leaks out and ruins the Processing Unit. DOING SO VOIDS YOUR
WARRANTY. Always store Cartridges with the bottom facing up.
DO NOT REMOVE
NEVER MIX OR
USE CAT LITTER

LIGHT GUIDE:
If the Light Guide gets scratched or damaged, replace it with the
extra Light Guide in the Spare Parts Kit under the Base.
You should clean your Light Guide every time you clean your
CatGenie. Your CatGenie A.I. will alert you if more frequent
cleanings are required.
RED WASHER:
A Red Washer is attached to the bottom of the Hopper and connects
to the Drain Hose. The Red Washer is a critical piece. It prevents
waste-water leaks. It’s important that it is not squeezed or defective.
Make sure that it is securely in place on the Hopper. Keep it
lubricated with baby oil or liquid soap.
DRAIN HOSE:
Locate where the Drain Hose attaches to the Base under your
CatGenie. To unlock the Drain Hose, pinch the gray connector
and turn it 90 degrees. Once unlocked, the Drain Hose can be
pulled off the Base. To avoid damage to the connector, always
leave in a locked position.
To reattach, align the notch inside the gray connector with the
notch on the connecting part of the Base. Slide the Drain Hose
over the end at the Base, pinch the gray connector and turn it
clockwise. Give the hose a gentle tug to make sure it is locked.
WARNING: Drain Hose should only be removed when
being replaced or when instructed by Customer Support.
ORANGE NIPPLE:
Located at the bottom of the Processing Unit, the Nipple prevents
the SaniSolution from drying out and clogging the white dispenser
Nozzle. To check if it’s OK, unplug the CatGenie. Then, carefully
lift the Processing Unit from its slot. To clean Nipple, squeeze out
clumped solution. Then wash with warm water. If Orange Nipple is
missing, get one from Spare Parts Kit. Put Nipple onto the white
nozzle. Clean unit slot on the Brim. Wipe bottom of the unit with a soft
cloth. Carefully and securely put Processing Unit back into its slot.
Plug in the CatGenie.
The Spare Parts Kit is stored under the Base. Keep it there until needed. Call us at 1-888-735-3927

damp cloth.
• Check the Air Intake Vent more often if you own long-haired cats or during
shedding season.
CLEAN THE AIR INTAKE VENT EVERY CARTRIDGE CHANGE

your SaniSolution Cartridge, and when notied by the App. Always
clean your Light Guide before running a Maintenance Cartridge.
