Even a Self-Washing Cat Box is still an appliance and needs a little TLC to keep running its best.
CATGENIE MAINTENANCE
To put it plainly, your CatGenie handles cat waste and to keep it running well, it needs to be cleaned occasionally. Imagine never cleaning your own toilet? Gross! A clean CatGenie is a happy CatGenie and a few simple tasks each year will keep it running well longer.
If your household has 1 to 2 cats per CatGenie, we recommend:
2x per year Disassembly & Deep Cleaning
AND
2x per year Machine Washing Soak or Descaling Maintenance Cycle
Our recommendation is to have 1 CatGenie per 2-3 cats in your home. If more than 3 cats are using each CatGenie in your home, you should increase your cleaning frequency accordingly.

SUPPLIES MAINTENANCE FAQs
How Often Should I Change My Washable Granules?
You NEVER need to change out your Washable Granules for new ones*. We designed our CatGenie to wash our Granules clean as new for repeated use. A single box of Washable Granules can last a single-cat family as long as 6 months under typical usage circumstances.
What do you need to do? Empty a single box of Washable Granules into the GenieBowl when you assemble your CatGenie and replenish whenever kick-out or scoop-up lowers the fill level below the indented line. That's it!
*On the very rare occasion (for most cats) that your cat has liquid feces, this waste may not scrub completely clean from Granules and this may prompt a change out of the entire bowl full. But this never happens for most CatGenie users.
How Often Should I Change my SaniSolution Cartridge?
Our patented SaniSolution Cartridges dispense the perfect amount of concentrated cleaning solution during every cycle. A Cartridge is designed to clean for 120 cycles with Time Activated or Manual Activated schedule modes. Or you can DOUBLE the life of your Cartridges by running your CatGenie on Cat Activation mode.*
*Not only does Cat Activation save you money, but it also keeps your unit running better longer by cleaning immediately after each use!
What do you need to do? Insert a new SaniSolution Cartridge when the old one is empty. For CatGenie A.I. users, your app will even notify when you are running low so you'll have plenty of time to reorder more. Then you can recycle your Cartridge casing in most areas.
