Using the PetSafe Healthy Pet Water Station is easy. First, fill the water reservoir with clean water. The water will then flow into the stainless - steel bowl through the gravity system, and your pet can drink whenever they want. Make sure to place the station on a flat and stable surface to prevent it from tipping over. For cleaning, disassemble the parts. The stainless - steel bowl can be washed in the dishwasher for a thorough clean. The rest of the parts can be wiped with a damp cloth. Check the water level regularly and refill the reservoir as needed to keep your pet hydrated. Also, keep an eye on the condition of the parts and replace any damaged ones to ensure the station works properly.
