two
to
four weeks.

frequently
when using the fountain
for

lot
of
saliva.
2. The
Charcoal Filter
is an added feature
of
the
fountain. The use
of
a filter is
not
required
for
normal
operation,
but
using a
filter will keep
the
fountain
water
cleaner.
3. The
Charcoal Filter may be rinsed
out
when
the
fountain is
cleaned.
Never wash
the
filter
with soapy water, as you
will

residue.
