I’ve recently cleaned my litter robot and made sure the lever was in the key, trying to get the thing to stop dumping a bunch of clean litter.
A bunch of clean litter doesn’t go through the sifter plate and ends up being dumped in the tray. I’ve tried troubleshooting a bunch of different ways, to no avail.
Is there something I’m missing? Please help!
Hi @EchoLynn and welcome to the forum!
The Litter-Robot litter sifting system requires a clumping type litter to work properly.
We recommend a high-quality clay-based clumping litter such as Litter-Robot™ brand premium clumping litter. Litter beads and crystals may also be used with the Litter-Robot as long as the beads and crystals are small enough to pass through the screen – periodic changing of this type of litter is required.
Litters that DO NOT work in the Litter-Robot are the strictly absorbent, non-clumping litters, newspaper based litters, loose clumping litters, and absorbent wood-based pellets.
Which litter type are you using? Probably its dimensions are not small enough to pass through sifting system…
I have the same problem. I am using cats best biodegradable clumping litter. Some does go through the sieve, so it is not too big. It is not over full, the ring is visible all round. I think the problem might be that it is not as heavy as clay litter so it does not fall as fast. I wish I could slow the rotation down, but I don;t know if that;s possible. Did you get any other advice apart from using clumping litter, which obviously had nothing to do with your problem?
Hey @sbgrantham,
It is not possible to slow it down. At least not by end customer.
We recommend trying different types of litter until you find some that suits you. Here are some recommendations: https://www.catfooddispensersreviews.com/best-litter-for-the-litter-robot/
Thank you so much for doing this research and sharing it. I really really appreciate it as will loads of other users. From watching all of your demos, I can see that my light weight plant based biodegradable litter will never be effective and is sailing across the sieve because it is too light.
