From the maker's pages: Pumpless design: a motor in the base spins a rotor inside the tank, so no pump sits in the water. Runs on the built-in battery or plugged in; the maker says up to 30 days per charge for one pet in sensor mode.

Known PETLIBRO Dockstream 2 Smart Cordless Fountain problems and fixes

Causes on file: water sensor needs calibrating (low-water alert with a full tank, or flow that stops and starts); power problem, switch off or a dirty rotor shaft; leak from the tank, a clogged filter or spout, or drips from the pet; dirty rotor shaft, low water, clogged filter tray or an unlevel base; clogged filter, debris build-up or dirty pump; rust spots on the stainless steel tray from food salt, grease and moisture. Sources: 6 from faq.

Water sensor needs calibrating (low-water alert with a full tank, or flow that stops and starts)

  1. Press and hold the fountain in the Petlibro app and unbind it.
  2. Reset the fountain and add it to the app again.
  3. When the app starts the calibration, lift the tank off the base and clear everything off the base.
  4. Make sure the base sits on a flat, stable surface, confirm in the app and finish the calibration.

Power problem, switch off or a dirty rotor shaft

  1. Try the original cord and adapter on another outlet or device to rule out a power fault.
  2. If no indicator lights glow, turn on the power switch.
  3. Take off the rotor cover and check that the shaft inside the tank is clean.
  4. Refill the tank, put the rotor back and turn it gently with a finger to see if the fountain starts.
  5. Clean the rotor and shaft and swap the filters about every two weeks, brushing the thin shaft only lightly.

Leak from the tank, a clogged filter or spout, or drips from the pet

  1. Dry the whole fountain, fill the tank, set it on a dry flat surface off the base and wait an hour to see whether the tank itself leaks.
  2. Move the fountain out of your pet's reach for a while; water dripping from fur or whiskers can look like a leak.
  3. Remove the filter and spout and run it again to see whether overflow stops.
  4. Replace the filters and clean the pump about every two weeks (more often with several pets).

Dirty rotor shaft, low water, clogged filter tray or an unlevel base

  1. Remove the rotor cover and inspect the shaft, cleaning it gently.
  2. Fill the tank to the maximum line.
  3. Replace the filter and clear hair or food from the filter tray so water drains normally instead of dripping onto the surface.
  4. Stand the fountain on a flat, stable surface so water does not fall straight from the outlet and splash.

Clogged filter, debris build-up or dirty pump

  1. Replace the filter; the maker recommends every two weeks for one pet and more often for several.
  2. Soak and rinse the new filter for about five minutes before fitting it.
  3. Clean the pump area and remove trapped hair or debris.

When to replace a part: Flow stays weak after a fresh filter and a full clean.

Rust spots on the stainless steel tray from food salt, grease and moisture

  1. Mix one tablespoon of baking soda into two cups of water.
  2. Rub the paste-like mixture onto the spots with a soft cloth.
  3. Rinse well; for stubborn marks use a stainless cleaner that is safe for pet products.
