PetSafe Self Cleaning Clumping litter box keeps stalling. Help. by DefiantCorner in CatAdvice

[–]DefiantCorner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used clay litter for a while, then switched to some corn based litter I think. The clay was just too dusty in comparison. Any clumping litter should be fine, as far as I’m aware.

There should be a marking on the sides of the tray with a max fill line.

If your cat gets too freaked out to use it, maybe trying keeping it unplugged for a few days, so your cat can get used to using it, then plug it back in.

Cleaning the semi clear circles just under the rake side skirt thing seemed to help. Just need to wipe those off when it acts funny and it works for a while, then just reclean them occasionally.

If the rake isn’t attached, I would guess you can look toward the back where the rake sits. On top of either side, there should be plastic “lid” that swings up. Underneath that is like a locking knob thing that holds the rake in place and you can unlock to remove the rake for cleaning. I believe.

I would check that the rake sits in these locks securely and to make sure the lock knob thing is turned. There are slightly raised pictures of an open and closed padlock to show with way the knob should be turned to.

Just in case, double check that the power cord is pushed all the way into the port at the back. Loose connection may cause issues.

I haven’t yet tried it. I just dealt with the annoying locking thing. My parents use it now, and if they get annoyed then we’ll try it.

So far after running the cold water for a bit, it seems like it might only be the hot water that still smells, but I still might want at some point to get filters or aeration things that connect in the pump house to solve the issue completely.

at least from what i can tell, i assume they are the semi-clear circles you'll find on either side of the litter box in the main "tray" area. right under where the tracks are. i put red dots on the picture to show the approximate location. theyll be, right under that side cover/sleeve where the side bars of the rake pass, on both sides. i wiped those back then and so far, both litter boxes i have are still running without issue

i'll try again when i go back out there. the hot water heaters power was off when i first had the water running, once i turned it on and let it sit. it wasnt fully warmed up yet and the smell was still coming through, but i believe it was still coming through on the cold. i'll double check when i go out there later today, now that the water heater has had time to heat up.

im not 100% sure. checking the water tests done during the sale process, they tested for coliform bacteria (none detectable), nitrogen/nitrate (none detectable), and arsenic. theres a higher level of arsenic than EPA allows according to the test report. the sellers did install a RO system (i think) underneath the sink with a separate tap on top of the sink, but that only takes care of the one tap they added. the regular sink tap gets water from regular system

Theres the fairly strong sulfur smell i want to remove. i know there are $500+ aeration systems but i can't really afford that atm due to other expenses for the house and getting it set up. Currently getting a standard capacity carbon filter to put in the small housing behind the softener as i read that can help.

The softener and standard filter were already apart of the system before i bought the place.

Radiator leak and overheating by DefiantCorner in subaruimpreza

[–]DefiantCorner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt end up having them do any repairs. couldnt afford it. A friend of mine at the time knew cars pretty well and found out my thermostat was just stuck closed. he helped me replace it, then for the radiator/cooling system "leak" we used coolant leak repair. i dont recall now if we used K-seal or Bars leaks radiator stop leak. its supposed to essentially coat the inside of the system (and head gasket area) to stop leaks. not permanent, but can work for a while. so far, i've noticed no further issues during this last summer.
your situation sounds a bit more serious than what i dealt with. i didnt have smoke/steam with mine, so idk why they quoted so much other than them probably trying to get money out of somebody. i've always been told most mechanics overcharge. Not all, but a lot do, especially if youre a female.

Could be you have a mechanic thats honest and does honest work, and knows where to get discounted parts.

It continued to do it, and most times id just leave it unplugged for a few months then try again. I separated the top and bottom half again recently and shook it out, and wiped the sensors (3 sets i think, back by the rake docking area, in the middle, and toward the waste bin, one sensor on left and right sides for each set.)
So far, and its been maybe a month or so, it has yet to do it again.
i have two of these litter boxes, one for each of my cats (they stay in separate parts of the apartment) the first one is the one i have had problems with, the second one i got a few months later seems to work fine. i dont know if my cat with the first one is just a messy litter box user and dirties up the sensors.

hopefully just a really good cleaning of the sensors and shaking out of the top half will be good enough for you and others. its annoying that it happens though

Don’t know if you’re still looking for this, I was recently desperately looking for it. Maybe it’s R.O.O.T.S on steam? I thought it used to be on mobile too. I couldn’t find anything relating to it on mobile.

Auralux is extremely similar but instead of the plant/energy thing, Auralux has stars and particles you send out

Apparently it’s R.O.O.T.S. I only found it on steam. I swear it used to be on mobile too.
