Product Information
Full details
The Skylos Automatic Pet Waterer is an ideal solution for busy cat and small dog owners who want to ensure their pets have constant access to fresh water without manual refilling throughout the day. With its 3.5L capacity and stable, compact design, it offers a reliable way to maintain pet hydration in any home environment. While it significantly reduces the burden of daily maintenance, users should note that it requires regular cleaning of the reservoir and base to prevent biofilm buildup, as it does not include an advanced filtration system.

FAQs
Is this waterer dishwasher safe?
Hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the plastic materials and seals.
Does this require batteries or a power outlet?
No, the unit uses a gravity-fed system and does not require any electricity.
Can I use this for medium or large dogs?
While it can be used for larger pets, they may drain the 3.5L reservoir very quickly, requiring more frequent refills.
What is the best way to clean the inside of the reservoir?
Use a long-handled bottle brush and warm soapy water to reach the interior surfaces.
Will sunlight affect the water quality?
Yes, direct sunlight promotes algae growth. We recommend placing the unit in a shaded spot.
Troubleshooting
Water is not flowing into the bowl
Ensure the reservoir is properly seated on the base and that the seal is not obstructed by debris.
Water is overflowing from the bowl
Check that the unit is on a perfectly flat surface; even a slight tilt can disrupt the vacuum seal and cause overfilling.
Container feels slippery
This is likely biofilm; empty the unit and scrub with a soft brush and warm soapy water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
- Fill the reservoir with fresh, cool water.
- Secure the lid or locking mechanism as per the unit design.
- Invert the reservoir quickly onto the base unit, allowing water to flow into the bowl.
- Place on a level surface away from direct sunlight to prevent bacterial growth.
Care
To keep your pet healthy, perform a full wash at least once a week. Use mild soap and warm water to scrub the inside of the reservoir and the bowl. Rinse thoroughly to ensure no soap residue remains. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, as these can scratch the plastic and create hiding spots for bacteria.
