Drinkwell® Sedona Pet Fountain Set Up


Welcome

Welcome to your new PetSafe® Drinkwell® Sedona Pet Fountain!

Keep in Mind

The acclimation time may vary with each pet.

The sound of falling water triggers instinctual behavior to drink more.

The circulating water prevents mineral build up.

The filtration system forces water through a carbon filter that removes toxins, particles, bad tastes and odors.

The fountain will need to be cleaned before first use.

Clean the Fountain

The fountain should be cleaned at least once a month to avoid mineral buildup and to ensure clean drinking water for your pet.

Multi-pet households may need to clean every two weeks.

Clean all parts of the fountain using soap, warm water and a small brush before first use. It is recommended to clean the pump and change the filter when cleaning the fountain.

If hard water build up occurs, soak pump in equal parts vinegar and warm water for 15 minutes, then scrub.

Disassemble the Pump

Note: Place the pump parts in a safe place to avoid dropping them down the drain.

Remove the impeller by pulling up from underneath the white disk.

Note: The impeller is held in place by a magnet. This may give some resistance when trying to remove.


Reassemble the Pump

Rinse the Filters

Rinse the carbon filter under warm water for 30 seconds before use. Loose black particles will rinse out from the filter and can be seen in the bowl if the filter is not rinsed thoroughly. The carbon is made from coconut shells and is safe for your pet.
