Do I need to prepare the filter before use?

Yes - the filter must be compulsorily prepared before first use so that the drinking fountain works correctly, evenly, and reliably.

Proper preparation helps stabilize the water flow and ensures a clean start of the fountain.

This is how to prepare the filter correctly:

1) Soak the filter

Before first use, place the new filter for at least 5 minutes in a separate bowl with clean water.

This allows the filter material to fully absorb water and be optimally prepared for use.

2) Do not soak in the water tank

The filter should not be soaked directly in the water tank.

This prevents possible filter residues or fine filter dust from settling directly in the fountain.

Why preparation is important:

An unprepared filter can affect the water flow and cause the drinking fountain to not operate correctly.

Possible consequences include:

• Uneven water flow
• Reduced flow rate
• Unstable operation
• In some cases, malfunction or overflow

Catson note:

Filter preparation is an important step for a clean initial startup. When the filter has been properly soaked, the drinking fountain usually runs much more stably and reliably.
