How to Assemble the WOPET Basin W600 Plus 6L Pet Water Fountain
The WOPET Basin W600 Plus is a wired 6L pet water fountain for cats and dogs. Set it up with the power disconnected: secure the pump, route the cable, prepare the filter, then fit the trays and spout. Add water before connecting the adapter.
The filter needs a five-minute soak before first use. Start that first, and use the time to rinse the washable parts and check the fittings. This is the W600 Plus Basin model; cordless W600 Pro instructions use different hardware.
Before you start
| Have ready | What to check |
|---|---|
| Tank, water tray, filter tray and spout | No cracks, trapped packaging or damaged fittings. |
| Pump, cable and connecting pipe | Cable intact; pipe matches the pump outlet and tray connection. |
| Filter and a clean bowl | Use a separate bowl to prepare the filter. |
| Supplied power adapter | Keep it unplugged and dry during assembly. The manual specifies DC 5V / 1A. |
| Clean water and a level indoor location | Keep the socket and adapter away from splashes; protect the cable from chewing. |
1. Soak and rinse the filter
Put the filter in a separate bowl of clean water for five minutes, then rinse it for 30 seconds. The video shows this preparation before the filter goes into its tray. Do not soak it in the fountain tank, where loose carbon dust could collect.
Rinse the tank, water tray and removable spout before their first use. Keep the adapter and electrical connectors out of the washing area.
2. Seat the pump and route the cable
Place the pump in the shaped position at the bottom of the tank. Press down gently so its suction cups hold it in place. A loose pump can move or vibrate against the tank.
Bring the cable up through the slot in the tank rim, as shown below. Keep it in the recess so the water tray will sit flat instead of pressing on the wire. Do not pull the cable to reposition the pump.
3. Connect the pipe and fill the tank
Fit the supplied connecting pipe to the pump outlet and check that it is secure. The video labels this step before water is added, but gives no close-up of the pipe connection; use the assembly drawing in the manual if you cannot identify the fitting on your unit. Do not substitute tubing or force a mismatched connection.
Add clean water within the tank’s marked operating range without exceeding MAX. The 6L capacity is not a reason to fill above the mark. Keep the pump disconnected while filling, and never run it dry.
4. Install the filter tray, water tray and spout
Place the prepared filter in the filter tray. Fit that assembly underneath the water tray in the position shown in the video, then lower the water tray onto the tank. Check the pipe alignment and cable slot before pressing the tray into place.
Fit the removable spout in the central opening. The tray should rest evenly around the rim. If one side stays raised, lift it and check the fittings rather than forcing it down.
5. Connect the power and check the first flow
With dry hands, check that the plug and connections are dry, then connect the supplied adapter. Watch the spout and tray as water starts circulating. Check the rim, cable exit and floor for leaks.
| Check | What to do before leaving it running |
|---|---|
| Water level | Keep it within the marked range. Refill if the low-water light appears. |
| Water flow | Confirm water reaches the outlet and returns to the tank. |
| Tray and cable | Make sure the tray is level and the cable is not pinched. |
| New rattling or weak flow | Disconnect power; check the water level, pump seating, wet filter and pipe alignment. |
| Electrical area | Keep the adapter, plug and socket dry and out of reach of splashes. |
After setup
Offer your pet access without pushing them toward the fountain. Keep another source of fresh water available while they get used to it. Check the water level and visible debris daily, especially when several pets share the tank.
For the next clean, use our W600 Plus disassembly and cleaning guide. If water does not circulate after the checks above, see water fountain flow troubleshooting or contact W600 Plus support. Disconnect the fountain if its cord is damaged or water reaches an electrical connection.
