Drinkwell® Fountain Cleaning Kit

Cleaning your PetSafe® Drinkwell® pet fountain is easy enough, but some spots just canâ??t be reached with a sponge. The PetSafe® Drinkwell® Cleaning Kit includes features like a plastic molded handle, flared sponge tip for deep cleaning and vinyl wraps to protect the wire shaft from rust. Works with all PetSafe Drinkwell fountains. Features * Convenient Cleaning â?? Multiple brush sizes provide a convenient way to clean the hard-to-reach areas of your pet fountain * Pump Cleaning â?? The small motor brush helps make cleaning the build-up and debris from the motor cavity easy * Water Resistant â?? The vinyl encasing on the wire shaft help prevent rust * Compatible Fountains â?? Works with all PetSafe Drinkwell pet fountains More Info How Do I Clean My Fountain? * Unplug the fountain. * Dump the water. * Disassemble the fountain. * The fountain is dishwasher safe except for the motor and cord. Either wash in the top rack of your dishwasher or hand-wash these parts. If your dishwasher runs too hot, we recommend hand-washing. When hand-washing, use a bottle brush, aquarium brush, soft sponge, or brushes included in the Fountain Cleaning Kit and dish soap. (Please note: if you have the Avalon or Pagoda fountains, the filter housing is hand wash only. It is not dishwasher safe.) * Remove the motor from the fountain. * Lift the impeller (looks like a small white propeller) out of the motor. There may be a faceplate cover over the impeller than can be pulled up with a coin or fingernail. Wash the impeller in soapy water, removing hair and other gunk that has collected around it. * Pour soapy water inside the motor cavity and clean with a small round brush like the one found in the Fountain Cleaning Kit. A cotton swab or small toothbrush might work too, or anything that can reach all the way inside of the cavity. * Rinse all parts well before returning to the fountain. * Re-assemble fountain, replacing the filter and pre-filter as
