IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Setup and Operating Instructions: Before using the hy·drate™, Pet H2O Filtration System for the first time, it is important that you properly prepare the product for use. The hy·drate™ includes a filter that should be thoroughly rinsed to remove the carbon filter dust. Don’t worry; the dust is not harmful to your pet. For smaller bowls you will find it helpful to adjust the flow control to prevent water from splashing from the bowl.
When using electric appliances, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
•Read all the instructions before using appliance.
•To reduce the risk of injury, close supervision is necessary when an appliance is used near children.
•Only use attachments recommended or sold by the manufacturer.
•Do not use outdoors. INTENDED FOR INDOOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
•Do not unplug by pulling on the cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.
•Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical adjustment.
•For a portable appliance – To reduce the risk of electrical shock, do not place or store appliance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
•Always unplug any appliance when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never yank a cord to remove from
the outlet.
•Do not contact moving parts.
•Always position power cords out of the way of foot traffic to avoid tripping.
•Do not allow your pet to chew on the power cord or hy·drate™ product.
•If the AC adapter gets wet, turnoff electricity to that outlet. Do not attempt to unplug.
•Examine this appliance after installation. It should not be plugged in if there is water on the cord or plug. To avoid the possibility of the plug or outlet getting wet, the outlet should always be above the level of the hy·drate™.
•Do not submerse AC power adapter into water.

Begin by opening the hy·drate™, using your thumb to lift the snap located on the back to open the outer shell. Note the orientation of the internal parts and the location of the flow control on the side of the pump (See Fig. 1a & 1c). Remove the filter and rinse it under running water for approximately 20 seconds or until no carbon dust is showing in water. Gently shake excess water off filter and place back into the upper shell (See Fig. 1a). Close the hy·drate™ back together.
Fit the hy·drate™ to the bottom of your pet’s bowl and push down until all three suction cups are secured to bottom. Use the suction cup on the pump’s power cord to neatly attach cord to the outside of the bowl. Fill the bowl with water so the hy·drate™ is fully submerged. The
Some pets prefer drinking from a running source of water. To create a water stream effect, maintain a water level at the minimum H2O level noted on the
hy·drate™ (See Fig. 1a). Level of water above the hy·drate™ will give a rippling or bubbling effect on top of the water. Both options provide continuous movement and filtration for cleaner, fresher water. Now, adjust the flow control on the pump based on the size of the bowl, desired flow of water or to reduce water splattering from the bowl (See Fig. 1a & 1c). After beginning operation of the hy·drate™, simply allow your pet to adjust at his or her own pace. Some pets may take several days or longer to begin use. After your pet is acclimated to the hy·drate™, continue to replenish your pet’s drinking water frequently for maximum hydration.
It is not recommended that any appliance be left running unattended for a prolonged period of time as the water may get consumed or evaporate, thus causing the motor to run dry and can reduce life of the pump.
Cleaning Instructions: The hy·drate™ upper shell, lower shell with suction
cups and pump connector are dishwasher safe at low temperatures or can be hand washed with warm soapy water. THE PUMP IS NOT DISHWASHER SAFE! To remove pump from upper shell push in rubber fitting towards pump to release. Thread pump power cord through suction cup loop and
pump cord
The filter should be replaced every 2 - 4 weeks to maintain filtered, fresh and clean water. Small food particles and hair must be cleaned between the intake and filter as needed to maintain strong current flow.
IMPORTANT: Warranty may be voided if pump is not cleaned regularly.
