Cat Mate Water Fountain Pump Not Working

Unplug the pump and disassemble to clean.

Cat mate water fountain pump not working.

I figured it was worth a shot to spend half the amount of money and just fix our existing fountain. Depending on the humidity level in the air your fountain may need to be filled as often as every day or as little as once a week. I ve noticed over the last couple of weeks the pump on our cat mate water fountain has got quite noisy. I guess vinegar would work but will take longer.

Fresh flow pump stops working. Last summer we bought a cat mate pet fountain for our cats. Maintain cleanliness with once monthly 10 minute vinegar cleaning. The pump is likely clogged from hair food or dirt.

And swill it out or give it a quick wash every 2 or 3 days then about once every 6 8 weeks a descale and run the fountain minus the pump. For the cleaning of your pump and fountain you can use the catit fountain cleaning set. Be sure your indoor and outdoor fountains have enough water to cover the entire pump best to even be sure there is 2 inches of water over the fountain s pump. Also fill your fountain all the way up to the wavy line in the plastic rim and clean your pump each month.

For the cleaning of your pump and fountain you can use the catit fountain cleaning set. I went to buy a new one and my search also turned up this replacement pump. Clean the inside of the pump below. Use softened or bottled water if possible.

Also fill your fountain all the way up to the wavy line in the plastic rim and clean your pump each month. I hope that makes sense. A wooden floor will naturally be noisier than a concrete floor or tiles. Wet vac crud from water holding area.

If you notice the water isn t cascading down the front like it s supposed to try cleaning the water pump before spending the us 20 for a replacement pump. Repeat until holding area water is clean. One of them ignores it and drinks from the old ceramic bowl but the other is crazy about it. If this does not work will have to dismantle.

If you live with a cat or a dog you might own a petmate drinking fountain. Place your fountain on the floor not on a table or a countertop. This will take some time. See if u can hook a water supply to exit hose of fountain at top and force blockage out at bottom.

I agree with 21boat. I bought the cat mate water fountain a couple of weeks ago on zooplus as it had great reviews but me being a little scatty once i had assembled it i put the instructions away for safe keeping now i can t find them and i cant get the fountain to work. The hard bristle brush has a small tip for accessing small areas while the flower shaped cleaning sponge has various textures for optimal cleaning. Fresh flow pump makes gurgling sounds.

We have been using a cat mate fountain for our 3 cats for at least 2 years when it finally stopped working.
