Catit Frameless Fountain Filter Pads: When to Replace

Quick answer

Replace your Catit Frameless Triple Action Fountain Filter Pads every 2 to 4 weeks, or sooner if you notice reduced water flow or a change in water clarity.

Step-by-step replacement guide

1. 1. Turn off and unplug the fountain: Always disconnect the fountain from the power source before handling the pump or filter. This prevents accidents and protects the pump from running dry. Check the water level first—if it's low, refill before turning back on.
2. 2. Remove the old filter pad: Lift the pump cover and slide out the used filter pad. Discard it. If the pad is still wet, squeeze out excess water over a sink. Do not wash or reuse the pad—its filtration capacity is exhausted.
3. 3. Rinse the fountain components: Wash the bowl, pump cover, and any other parts with warm water and a mild soap. Rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue. Do not use abrasive cleaners. A quick rinse every time you change the filter prevents buildup and keeps the fountain clean.
4. 4. Insert the new filter pad: Place the new Catit Frameless Triple Action Fountain Filter Pad into the pump compartment. Make sure it sits flat and covers the pump intake completely. Check that the pad is not folded or compressed, which could block water flow.
5. 5. Refill and restart the fountain: Fill the fountain with fresh water to the indicated level. Plug it back in and observe the water flow for a few seconds to ensure proper operation. If the flow is weak, double-check that the pad is properly seated and the pump is fully submerged.
