Replace the charcoal filter every two to four weeks. Replace more often for multiple pets or pets that produce more saliva. Always rinse the new filter under cold water before installing to remove loose carbon dust.

Most plastic parts (lid, bowl, pump plate) are top-rack dishwasher-safe, but never place the pump in the dishwasher. Remove the pump first and, if possible, use lower water heat settings.
Is this answer helpful?
Check and refill water level (must not drop below 5 cm from the bowl base). Unplug and clean the pump and impeller to remove hair or debris. Lubricate the magnetic pin with a tiny vegetable oil dab if recommended and ensure the pump is properly primed.

Product Description
PetSafe Drinkwell Pagoda Pet Fountain Medium, 2.4l Manual
The PetSafe Drinkwell Pagoda Pet Fountain Medium, 2.4l Manual combines continuous circulation, easy maintenance, and thoughtful design to keep pets hydrated with fresh, filtered water. With a 2.4-litre capacity, this mid-size fountain is ideal for households with one or multiple pets who prefer running water. The pagoda-style lid gently aerates the flow while hiding the charcoal filter and reducing splash, encouraging pets to drink more frequently.
Constructed from BPA-free plastic, the fountain features a low-voltage (12V) submersible pump that runs quietly when properly maintained. A three-layer activated charcoal filter (derived from coconut shells) removes bad tastes and odors, helping water stay appealing and fresher for longer. The fountain is mostly dishwasher-safe (top rack) for easy cleaning—note the pump is excluded and must be hand-cleaned following the included pump maintenance steps.
This manual covers setup, cleaning, and troubleshooting essentials: rinse all parts before first use, install the charcoal filter with the black side facing the pump, and leave at least 6 mm of space below the rim when filling. The fountain should remain plugged in to maintain circulation, but owners must monitor water level (never let it fall below 5 cm from the bowl base) and clean the unit weekly. Charcoal filters should be replaced every two to four weeks, more frequently for multi-pet households.
Pump maintenance is emphasized: disassemble the pump to clean the impeller, intake plate, and faceplate every two weeks to prevent clogging from hair and debris. For environments with hard water or mold/algae concerns, a diluted vinegar soak (20% white vinegar, 80% water) helps remove mineral buildup and disinfect parts. If persistent noise or reduced flow occurs, check water level, clean the impeller, and ensure the pump is properly primed.
Safety and warranty notes remind users to avoid outdoor use, keep the power adapter dry and above fountain level, and only use authorized PetSafe replacement filters to avoid voiding the warranty. A two-year limited warranty covers defects under normal residential use, with contact details for regional customer care available in the manual.
Notes
- Always unplug before disassembly or cleaning.
- Rinse filters—do not wash with soap.
- Use a mat under the fountain to protect floors from splashes.
