You can feed cats, dogs, ferrets, pigs and any pet that drinks water on a regular basis.

The small pet waterer is recommended for pets who weigh less than 15 lbs. The medium pet waterer is recommended for pets who weigh greater than 15 lbs. and less than 40 lbs. The large pet waterer is recommended for pets who weigh greater than 40 lbs.

You can store approximately 5 gallons of water in the larger model and 3 gallons in the medium and 2 gallons in the small model.

You can put regular tap water that you drink in the Pet waterer.

The water in the pet waterer should last at least a week to two weeks depending on how much your pet drinks. Estimate the drinking needs of the pet and the get the size that will last him/her for about 2 weeks.

Yes there is 8 layer filter in the pet waterer. This is one of a kind of filter that is available in the market. This filter purifies the water and cleans the water of contamination.

There is a low voltage pump setup inside the pet waterer. This pump runs continuously.

The water from the bowl is drawn through the hole in the bowl and then through the body to the pump. The pump then injects air into the water and pumps it to the filter. The filter then filters, cleans the water and removes all odors. The water is then recirculated from the filter to the bowl.

It's quite natural for pets to drink little at a time and that is why this patented system. The combination of forced aeration and filteration keeps the water clean. Even the pet saliva is processed to keep the bowl from forming algae. This is unlike any other filteration system in the market. The filter in the pet waterer consists of materials such as activated carbon, stone granules and ceramic balls. The water from the filter is as good as water that we drink fresh from the tap. If you find any odors in the water, we will take back the product.

10. How often do I have to replace the filters?

It is recommended that the pet waterer filters be replaced at least once in 10 weeks. However, the life of the filter can range from three weeks to 10 weeks. The filter life is dependent on your pet. Also make sure that you clean the pre filter in the body every week. This will make the filter last longer.

The more contamination the pet puts into the bowl, such as hair, food particles etc., the lower the life of the filter. Consider that if the filter is dirty then the pet waterer is not cleaning the water as good as it did before the filter was clean. If the filter lasted for months, then the possibility is that either the pet never contaminated the water (quite unlikely) or the filter passes all the contamination over to the bowl for the pet to drink during the next cycle. Which do you choose, replace filters? Or have contaminated water that can facilitate algae growth?

Unlike other filters that have to be disposed, some times it is possible that the waterer filter can be recycled for a few more weeks. If the filter is washed, back flushed and rinsed in hot water every week or when the water is refilled in the pet waterer storage container, the filter life can be extended.

All components in the feeder is made of rubber and plastic.

Make sure the pump is unplugged from the transformer. Take out the water storage container from the pet waterer. Wash and rinse the bowl and body together in a kitchen sink. You can use mild soap like dish washing detergent to wash the insides of the bowl and body. Make sure that you rinse well, (do not leave any soap residue in the unit) for your pet is going to be drinking out of this appliance. Make sure that you clean the filter and the filter chamber. Place the body/bowl on a level floor and refill the storage container. Center the storage container in the middle of the body and place the bottle into the body. As the bottle rests in place, water will start flowing into the bowl. Plug the pump into the transformer and you are done.

The Filtered Pet Waterer has been designed with a semi-submersible whisper quite pump. There is no sound except for a quite hum, that cannot be heard as much as felt by hand.

15. Why does the pump making a noise?

The Auto pet waterer has been designed with a semi-submersible whisper quite pump. If the Auto pet waterer does not have any water in the bowl the pump could possibly make a significant noise to disturb your pet. This is a warning for the pet owner to refill the storage bottle. If the noise is persistent even with the bowl with 3/4 inch of water then rotate the air suction cap on the motor to reduce this noise.

(Round cap with small tube sticking up in the air) This noise may be generated due to too much air being sucked in. If this does not solve the problem then there is something wrong with the pump. Please call us for a replacement unit or pump.
