How Often Should You Clean a Cat Water Fountain?

A water fountain continuously circulates water, but that doesn't mean it cleans itself.

Regular maintenance is still an important part of keeping your cat's drinking area fresh.

Clean the Fountain Regularly

For Petivano, we recommend cleaning the fountain, pump and components every 1–2 weeks.

This helps remove buildup, hair and other particles that can accumulate over time.

Replace the Filter and Sponge

The filter and sponge should also be replaced regularly.

Petivano's filtration system helps reduce odors while the filter sponge helps trap hair, dirt and food particles as water circulates.

For optimal performance, replace the filter and sponge every 1–2 weeks.

Don't Forget the Pump

The pump keeps the water moving, so it is an important part of the fountain.

When cleaning your Petivano Fountain, disassemble the pump and clean it according to the product instructions.

Easy Maintenance

Petivano is designed to be easily disassembled, making it simple to clean the individual components.

Regular maintenance helps keep the fountain working properly and your cat's drinking water fresh.
