How to clean PetSafe Drinkwell cat and dog fountains?

• Unplug the fountain, drain the water, and disassemble the fountain.
• The fountain is dishwasher safe (except for the motor and cord). These parts can be washed on the top rack of the dishwasher or by hand. If the dishwasher water is too hot, hand washing is recommended. When washing by hand, use the brushes included in the fountain cleaning kit and dish soap. (Note: if you have an Avalon or Pagoda fountain, the filter housing can only be washed by hand. It is not dishwasher safe.)
• Remove the motor from the fountain. Lift the impeller (it looks like a small white propeller) out of the motor. There may be a faceplate cover above the impeller, which can be lifted using a coin or fingernail.
• Wash the impeller in soapy water, removing hair and other debris that has accumulated around it.
• Pour soapy water into the motor cavity and clean it using the small round brush. A cotton swab or small toothbrush will also work well.
• Rinse all parts thoroughly before reinserting them into the fountain.
• Reassemble the fountain, replacing the filters if needed.
• Fill the fountain with water.
• Plug the fountain back in.
