usage

Proper hydration is vital to a dog’s health. The Zeus Oasis Fountain provides your dog with a continuous indoor source of fresh, purified water. Drinking more water helps ensure proper kidney function, helping to prevent crystal formation that can lead to urinary diseases.

The pump is equipped with a sensor that detects when the water level inside the reservoir is too low. At that point, the fountain will shut down automatically, to prevent the pump from running dry. Once the water is topped up, the fountain will start running again.

INSTALLATION

1. Take the unit out of its packaging and remove the stainless steel top, filter tray, filter pad, and pump. Next, disconnect the pump connector tube from both the filter tray and the pump. 

2. Clean the fountain before use to remove any dust particles. Clean the other fountain parts (excluding the filter) with a sponge and rinse thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleansers or materials on any part of the unit. 

3. Disassemble the pump by removing the sponge, pump cover, impeller cap, and impeller.  

4a. Rinse each pump part with water and clean the pump housing with a brush.

4b. Carefully reassemble the pump.  

5. Fill the reservoir up until the water reaches the top of the transparent window. Do not overfill the fountain.  

6a. Place the power cable holder in the designated recess in the reservoir. The Zeus logo should be facing the inside of the container.   

6b. OPTIONAL: You can adjust the length of the cable by opening the power cable holder and sliding the cable through the clip in the desired direction. Close the cable holder before attaching it to the reservoir.   

7. Insert the black plastic tube into the filter tray.   

8. Attach the pump to the filter tray using the transparent pump connector tube.    

9. Lower the filter tray onto the reservoir, aligning the slot in the top with the cable holder.    

10. Remove the filter pad from the polybag. Rinse the filter to remove excess dust and soak it completely.    

11. Insert the filter pad into the filter tray with packets facing down. Press down on the center of the filter so it sits tucked underneath all 4 plastic tabs.    

12. Lower the stainless steel top onto the reservoir.     

13. Attach the power cord to the USB adapter and plug it into the wall socket. Secure excess power cord with a tie wrap and place it behind the device to avoid pet chewing and entanglement of pet and/or cord.     

MAINTENANCE

1. Disassemble the pump by removing the sponge, pump cover, impeller cap, and impeller.

2. Rinse each pump part with water, removing any hairs or debris from the sponge, impeller and pump housing. Clean the pump housing with a brush. Carefully reassemble the pump 

It’s recommended to clean the fountain and rinse the pump sponge and fountain filter every 3 days, and to clean the pump on a weekly basis.

WARNING: Always unplug the fountain from the electrical wall socket with dry hands before putting on or taking off parts and whenever the pump is being installed, maintained or handled. Wash and rinse the fountain with a soft sponge and a non-abrasive cleanser. Rinse thoroughly, ensuring no soapy residue. Remove the filter from the tray and rinse. Do not wash the filter with soap. If filter contains excess debris or other foreign matter, replace it (replacement filters sold separately). The filter should be replaced every 3-4 weeks or when there are visible signs that the filter is saturated with foreign matter (debris, food, hair, etc.) or if the water flow is impeded. More frequent changes may be necessary due to indoor environmental and water conditions, as well as multiple pet use.

To prevent limescale deposits and to keep the stainless steel top and filter tray in top shape, it’s recommended to clean them in the dishwasher regularly (e.g. once or twice a week, at first signs of limescale deposits). Unscrew the tray connector parts from the steel tray for a thorough cleaning.

Remove any debris from the impeller and clean the impeller well with running water. Handle the impeller with care. If the pump makes noise, clean the pump and top up the water level in the fountain reservoir so the pump is fully submerged. DO NOT ALLOW THE PUMP TO RUN DRY.
