Frequently Asked Questions
Which replacement filter fits the PETLIBRO PLWF006?
Use the PETLIBRO replacement-filter listing with ASIN B09G697C4P. It is specified for PLWF003 and PLWF006.
Do Dockstream flat filters fit the PLWF006?
No. PLWF006 has a different filter housing and uses the separate PLWF003/PLWF006 replacement-filter listing.
Does the PLWF006 use a pump sponge?
Yes. The model guide shows a separate sponge that holds the pump securely. Whether a new sponge is included in the replacement-filter pack should be checked in the current package description.
Does the new filter need to be soaked?
Yes. Soak it in a clean bowl of water for five minutes, then rinse it before placing it in the filter housing. Do not soak the filter inside the fountain tank.
How often should the filter and pump sponge be replaced?
The PLWF006 guide says to replace the activated carbon filter and pump sponge at least once every two weeks.
What should I check if the fountain does not flow after replacement?
Make sure the filter housing is fully closed and the pump is secured in the sponge and holder. The water should be between the MIN and MAX marks, with the top cover seated correctly.
