What Are the Lights and Buttons for on My PetSafe® Hydrosphere™ 60oz Cordless Fountain?

Important Information

When operating on battery power, the fountain switches to motion-detected flow mode to conserve energy. In this mode, no lights are visible on the fountain. When your pet approaches, the lights and pump turn on. When the fountain is not in use, the lights and pump turn off.


Filter Light and Button

Filter Light

The filter reminder light helps you track filter life.

The filter button lets you reset the filter reminder after replacing the filter or turn the reminder off.

  • To reset or turn on the filter reminder, press and hold the filter button for 3 seconds. Release the button when the light flashes blue three times to indicate the reminder has been reset. After 3 weeks of use, the light will indicate the filter needs to be replaced.
  • To turn off the filter reminder, press and hold the filter button for 10 seconds. After 3 seconds, the light will flash blue three times. Continue holding the button until the light flashes red three times to indicate the reminder has been turned off. The light will no longer give you an indication that the filter needs to be replaced.

Power Light and Button

Power Light

The power light indicates whether the fountain is on and shows the battery level.

  • No Light: The fountain is powered off, or the battery is depleted.
  • Pulsing Blue: The fountain is plugged in, powered on, and charging.
  • Solid Blue: The fountain is powered on. If it is plugged in, this also indicates it is fully charged. If the fountain is operating on battery power, this indicates the battery has 25% to 100% charge.
  • Solid Red: The fountain is operating on battery power and has less than 25% charge remaining and should be charged. For more information, visit How To Charge My PetSafe® Hydrosphere™ 60oz Cordless Fountain.

The power button allows the fountain to be turned on and off.

  • To power on the fountain, press and release the power button. The power light will glow solid blue.
  • To power off the fountain, press and release the power button. No lights will show on the fountain.

Water Level Light

Water Light

The water level light indicates the status of the water level and alerts you when the level is low (this is a light only, not a button).

No Light: The water level is sufficient.

Pulsing Red: The water level in the bowl is low and the fountain should be refilled immediately, even if there is water in the tray. The water level must remain above the pump for the fountain to properly flow. Refill the fountain.

  • If you have just filled the fountain with water and powered it on, the water level light will briefly pulse red while the pump primes with water, then turn off and the water will start to flow.
  • If there is sufficient water in the bowl and the red light still pulses, visit My PetSafe® Hydrosphere™ 60oz Cordless Fountain Has a Red Light.
