How do you take it apart to clean it?

It comes apart easily. The top is just a cover that sits over the pump to hold the water bottle up. The pump is held in place with little suction cups so you can pull it up and clean under it which I recommend because the dog/cat hair get up under there.

I got rid of this dish because the motor stopped and getting it apart and cleaning it was a chore. I actually invested and got a ceramic pagoda which... I know is way more expensive but believe me... it is well worth it. I felt this plastc was hoarding bacteria too. The drinkwell ceramic pagoda is so easy to clean and looks nicer in the kitchen.

You have to unscrew it like a top. Hold the top grooves with your hands and twist it off, hope this helps. I've had mine for nearly 3 years and it is just now falling apart, need to buy a new one!!

Hi. To take the mesh out, just twist it counterclockwise. Use a damp towel to clean the unit. Hope that helps!

I just rinse it out with hot water and a brush. How else would you do it? Not in the dishwasher for sure.

I couldn't find a way to separate without breaking it. So I end up just rinsing it out after use. In that way it is a poor design. If someone knows how to do it, I would be interested in knowing too.

There is no need to take it apart. It opens wide and cleaning is as easy as wiping it down.

You're gonna have to take it apart each time you clean it. That's what I have to do.

Just grab the brush head and pull it off. Otherwise, run the brush under hot water an then pull it off

I think you can just lift it, or use a blow dryer to heat it up, then lift. I haven't tried to remove mine.

you need to unscrew the metal ring at the front, I believe it will then come apart.

You have to take it apart. Unbolt it from the bottom. Fairly labor-intensive, but it works.

I believe just the base comes off. Not really necessary for it to come apart in order to clean it. Just give it a good wipe down is all it needs.
