Cat Fountain Pump - Easy fix for the DR-DC160

Don't throw out that Cat Water Fountain Pump! Here is an easy fix for the DR-DC160. They are notorious for just stopping. While it is a "fix" it's more like periodic maintenance for this little workhorse.

Thanks for the clear directions. Saved me from buying a new fountain.

You’re a legend. I used this to repair my water fountain and this was exactly the issue. Thank you for posting this!

Dear friend,
I want to express my gratitude for crafting this video. There's just one additional step: ensure to clean the fin, beneath the magnet, as well as the central hole, to address any buildup. Once done, everything should function smoothly.

[@ThatRicanKid97]

I'm an idiot and I didn't realize the plastic impeller had a magnet in it... worked like a charm. Thanks for the vid.

[@garzplace]

Wrong, you’re not an idiot. If, indeed, you were an idiot then you would’ve went out paid $13 for another one without trying to fix the one you have.

[@deisypm7574]

Omg!!!! My cat was already mad at me (I was cleaning it and It didn’t work again when I connected it) Thank you!!!! Mine was 🤢

[@debh_]

jajaj same here!!

[@klaudiakarczewska5860]

Thanks so much I almost went ahead and ordered another one ! my cat was meowing incessantly cause her flower fountain wasn’t working and luckily I stumbled onto your video. Can’t imagine what the next few days would’ve been like without her fountain 🙀

[@slymunky69]

Worked like a charm. Thank you

[@calamice]

Thanks for the great explain. Saved me from buying another fountain 👍

[@MikeToRiches]

Cleaned it before didn’t think about taking off the face plate though but afterwards got the water coming out like normal, plus I’m pretty sure my cat is enjoying the fresh water now with out the build up thanks for posting

[@monicaherrera448]

Mine does not work and it is very clean inside, i always open the motor like this every two weeks when I clean them. So i checked and it is clean and still does not work… just the light works but the motor does not run at all

[@thecobayon]

10/10 thank you for the instructions, it worked!

[@eminakostic3406]

[@sharonspicks1]

Thank you so much! Take apart the pump and clean the black crap out of it. What a concept. 😂😂😂
Love it❤

[@CharleyCartee]

worked for me. I'd gotten it partially apart before looking for this, but this helped me make sure I didn't break anything

[@distractedyogi5239]

You’re amazing 🤗 thank you Sir!

[@VZerda]

Did it work? Like a charm, it did. Thank you!

[@SBS240]

Unfortunately it didn’t work for me,I cleaned it as instructed but still doesn’t work,i assume the problem is in the electronic system (box)
The light is working (blue) but the pump is dead 😂🙈

[@homeupgrade-g7l]

Me too

[@xstreemfishing]

Thanks, it worked a charm.

[@jaggedclimbing]

Worked like a charm. Thanks!

[@alondrarz71]

Thank you so much for the video

[@duckmannz]

Legend, Gary. Thanks!

[@ВикторПопов-р6х]

Thank you very much!

[@samanthabowman3487]

That worked for me the last couple times but not this time even when i set it all up and poked the propeller to get it going. I think it’s actually dead this time:(

[@garzplace]

Try using some compressed air to blow out the hidden gunk inside it.

[@pmoorales]

maaaan, tks so much!

[@LittleYummii]

Thank you so much ♥️

[@erdiu]

Thanks!

[@frankrusso1887]

This video helped to fix my exact issue. Saved me $$$ THANK YOU!! I truly do love the internet sometimes.😂

[@glovskc]

I too was going to buy a pump but I tried your steps and it worked! The water had stopped bubbling up (which my cat prefers) and upon opening the pump I discovered all the gunk that was clogging it up. Cleaned each piece, put it back together, and the water bubbled right up. Thaks so much!

[@jodieswartzlander2432]

Thank you, followed your instructions and my cat's water fountain works like a charm.

[@williamstephens84]

Was just about to buy a new pump. That’s for the quick, clear, and concise video.

[@itsliliok]
