Congratulations on your new Drinkwell®360TM Pet Fountain!
Your fountain will come partially assembled, however, it is a
good idea to make sure none of the fountain pieces have
come loose in shipping. Your new fountain is composed
of several plastic parts, a replaceable charcoal lter and
a low voltage submersible pump. (see Fig. 1)

1) As with any electrical device, check the
electrical cord for any tears, or damage
before use.
2) Make sure the inline plug is connected. (No
silver showing - See Fig. 2)

up and set aside. (See Fig. 3)
4) Check to make sure the intake tube is properly
inserted (pushed all the way down) into the
pump. (See Fig. 4)

6) Take the partially assembled lter housing and
remove the Flow Control Cap by gently lifting
straight up - DO NOT TWIST TO REMOVE.
(See Fig. 6). Gently lift up on the Spout Ring to
access the Filter Housing Cap.
7) Unscrew Filter Housing Cap and insert the lter
into the Filter Housing with the pull-tab facing
up. (See Fig. 7) The lter will slide easily into
place. Next, screw on the Filter Housing Cap.
(See Fig. 8)
IMPORTANT NOTE: Rinse the lter thoroughly
under cool water before placing into the housing.
This will remove any loose charcoal dust, which is
harmless. A small amount of charcoal dust may shed
for the life of the lter. This is normal and not harmful to
your pet. The lter should be replaced every two weeks
for best performance. Filters may need to be changed
more frequently depending on the number of pets using
the fountain. If you notice a decrease in the ow of the
water that is not corrected by turning the ow control
cap toward max this may be an indication of a clogged
and dirty lter and/or the need to rinse and clean the lter housing. Consult
the Fountain Disassembly and Cleaning Section of this manual for details on
cleaning and maintaining your fountain.

8) Align the side grooves of the Filter Housing
with the inner notches of the cone opening.
The Filter Housing should slide easily into
place. Turn housing a quarter turn to the right
(clockwise) until it locks in place. (Fig. 9)
9) Select one of the ve interchangeable spouts
based upon your personal preference or your
pet’s. Place the chosen spout on top of Filter
Housing Lid and gently press down evenly to
secure in place. (Fig. 10)
10) Align Flow Control Cap with the raised
notches (Fig. 11) on the Filter Housing Lid.
Press down gently and the cap will snap into
place. With the Flow Control Cap, you will be
able to easily adjust the ow intensity of the
water. Turn the cap to the right to increase the
ow and turn to the left to decrease.
11) Place fountain in desired location. To take
care of your oors, always use a protective
mat, such as a towel or place mat. This will
help protect your oor from any water that
may splash out from your pet’s use of the
fountain.
12) Fill the fountain bowl with water. Make sure
the water level is at least to the MIN. Fill
Line so the pump does not run dry. This
will prime the pump for use. Do not ll the
fountain past the MAX. Fill Line.
13) Before you plug in the fountain make sure
the cord and your hands are dry. Plug the
fountain in.
14) Add water as needed. Never let the water
level fall lower than the MIN. Fill Line (approx.
1” above the bottom of the bowl, Fig. 12)
or the pump may fail. To properly pick up
the fountain, use both hands and grip the
sidewalls of the fountain bowl and lift. Never
pick up a full fountain by the Cone piece.

FOUNTAIN DISASSEMBLY & CLEANING
The Fountain Must Be Cleaned Regularly To Continue Working Normally!
FILTERS:
1) Filters should be changed approximately every two weeks. Replace lters
more frequently when using the fountain for multiple pets or pets that
produce a lot of saliva.
2) Filters are an added feature of the fountain. Their use is not required for
normal operation.
3) For replacement lters, visit a pet store near you or call 866-322-2530.
6) Next, ip the bowl upside down and unhook the electrical cord from the
two cord clips. (See Fig. 13a) This will allow you to pull the cord through
the Cord Pass-Through in the bowl.
