User questions & answers

Question:	Does it make any/much noise
Answer:	If your pets coat is really bad, I would advise taking him to a groomer. After his visit, this tool will keep him mat free. It has worked very well on my long haired cat. You have to be careful not to pull on your pets coat. Be gentle!
Question:	is this product BPA free
Answer:	Yes, there is a screw you take out and can switch the blade to go the other way.
Question:	some people say it's noisy. what's up with that
Answer:	Just like a regular brush. When it hits a mat it starts pulling until the pressure cuts it out. I use the fuminator until i reach a mat and then switch to the mat remover and my two long haired kitties are easily groomed.
Question:	How does the pump system work? Does it need to plug into an outlet (electricity) or is it battery powered
Answer:	I used on my schnauzer who was severely matted and could not remove any matting without causing the dog much discomfort.

Product description

The fresh flow rain is the first battery operated fountain on the market. It holds up to 75 ounces of water. The user fills the water bowl and after a period of time, the pump will turn on and draw water up to the top of the receptacle and rain back down into the receptacle, where gravity takes over and the water flows back into the bowl from the receptacle. Your pets can drink from the bowl, from the water stream coming from the receptacle or from the top.

No cords, outlets or limitations on where to place your pets water fountain.

Requires 4 D-cell batteries (not included)



FAQ’s:

Pump – the pump automatically turns off after drawing water up to the receptacle. It will turn on after a period of time to repeat the process. The pump does not run continuously 24 hours a day. It will turn on and off after set periods of time and repeat

Gravity Hole – if you live in an area where you have “hard” water, the hole that allows water to come out of the receptacle may become clogged with minerals. Use a paperclip or safety pin to unclog the water deposit

Batteries – if new, good quality batteries are used, the battery life should last roughly 3-4 months

Water Level –ONLY fill the fountain BOWL with fresh water (do not fill the receptacle). It’s important that fresh water be added frequently to keep the water level from getting too low and potentially burning out the pump.

• KEEP CAT OR DOG HYDRATED WITH FRESH WATER-Circulates water for your pet to keep water fresh and not stagnant. Holds up to 75 ounces of water to ensure your pet has enough water
• BATTERY OPERATED – First fully battery-operated fountain in the market. No Cords, outlets or limitations on where to place the fountain.
• MULTIPLE DRINKING POINTS –It pulls the water from the bowl up to the top and the water cascades down into the water receptacle. Gravity takes over and the water collected in the receptacle will flow through the hole in the bottom, back in to the water bowl. Pets can drink from the bowl, from the top and from the water flow out of the receptacle
• BATTERY SAVING TECHNOLOGY – the pump turns off automatically to conserve battery life – and restarts after a period of time to repeat the filling of the water receptacle
• FRESH, FILTERED WATER – the Fresh Flow Rain includes a filter to filter debris from the water being brought up through the tube
• Age range description: Young Adult

User questions & answers

Question:	were is the battery located
Answer:	The battery is on the underside of the unit. I believe there is a compartment you need to open. Check your instructions if you have them.
Question:	How long does water tank last before having refill it
Answer:	It all depends on how many cats you have and how much water they drink. For example I have two juvenile cats. When they used to drink out of this it took them, I'll say, a day and a 1/2 or 2 if it's not that hot. But you should change the water daily bc it gets nasty looking.
Question:	Is there a better battery operated water fountain? This is the only one I can find. (Too many negative reviews here
Answer:	I'd like to know that also. Worked fine for my cats. Annoying to disassemble and clean but worked just like I hoped.
Question:	What kind of batteries does it use? How long do the batteries last before they need to be replaced
Answer:	Hello, ). It takes 4 D-Cell batteries. We do not comment on life of batteries because it depends on so many factors (brand, how the fountain is run, etc.).

Petmate Fresh Flow Rain Battery Fountain for Cats and Dogs, 75 oz

Enrich your pet's environment with the 100% battery powered, electronic Petmate Fresh Flow Rain Fountain. When the pump begins to run, water is drawn from the bowl up through the tube and filter to the top of the lid, creating secondary drinking locations. Once water reaches the top, it "rains" down the inside of the water chamber. As the water fills the water chamber, the water streams from the front nozzle and refills the bowl creating a rain like flow that is naturally appealing to cats and dogs and will perk your pet's interest. The water reservoir and pump are self-balancing allowing gravity to constantly flow water, allowing the pump to run half of the time. No more cords, outlets, or limitations on where to place your pet's water fountain. Modern design fits well with any home decor. Keep your pet hydrated and happy with the easy-to-clean Petmate Fresh Flow Rain Fountain. Requires four D-Cell batteries (batteries not included).

Answer:	Yes
Question:	Can this be used in a three season room outside
Answer:	The one sold by ONEHOTCELL is Verizon phone for Verizon.
Question:	Can anyone give me a link for the replacement pump? I’ve bought two and neither work
Answer:	The product description clearly states this phone is a GSM network phone (AT&T and T-Mobile) and that it will Not work on Sprint or Verizon. Anyone who states this is or will work will be correct, in that the phone turns on and functions. And Wifi is network independent. You may even get signal thru CDMA carriers, Verizon and Sprint, but it will be NON-4G. This means you will make calls just fine but when it comes to data you will find yourself extremely disappointed in speeds for anything the streams or must download... Unless you are using high speed wifi at a home or business.
