 self watering system February 16, 2008

This product is great, when i go away i hook up about 15 plants and the machine waters them while i am away. It waters up to 40 days. I go away weeks at a time, requires 1 9 volt battery. It is best to move all the plants next to each other to hookup the water hoses, and spikes. It keeps my plants alive while i am away, I love it.
 Not for hard water October 28, 2008

I have had the Oasis for three years and have tried to use it three times - the first time it worked perfectly. The second time I came home to dead plants! It seems that the valve can get stuck - the electronic timer drives a green coil (electro magnet) that opens and closes the water valve. If it is working you can hear it make a "thunk" noise when you move the switch from off to 10. No thunk means the valve is stuck (assumes a new battery). The green coil can be pulled off by removing the machines bottom (just pull it off) and unscrew the nut holding the coil to the valve. A strong magnet can then be moved along the valve to make it open and close. After I did this a few times I reassembled the machine and it is working again - but I don't trust it! I suspect the very hard water here in the Southwest is making the valve stick. Use distilled water or don't buy or buy a new one every year!

 Exactly What I Needed July 31, 2008

I go away on business for a week or 10 days about 3 times a year. I have a balcony with about 20 plants that I don't want to have to replace and mature again. There are people who can, and sometimes will, agree to water my plants. Sometimes I come home and the plants have been either under watered or they've been watered to death the day before I get home; occasionally they've been watered just right. Recently none of my cast of potential plant sitters was available so I searched and found Oasis. It is just what my plants needed! I set it up a couple of days before I left to test it, and not being sure, I saturated each plant before setting the Oasis to run. I don't think that was necessary. When I returned home all of my plants were healthy and happy. The instructions say to use the device indoors (outdoors it could overheat), and I could have moved the plants indoors, but I have a storage closet on the balcony and I was able to set up the reservoir on a tray table in the closet and run the tubing under the door to the plants which, per instruction, were a couple of feet below the reservoir (on the balcony floor). I would have liked a few extra plant emitters and would like to be able to buy more tubing in the future, but have not found a source. Emitters that you find at home centers are NOT the same and won't work; they will just run constantly... and the drip irrigation hose available at home centers is different, it's more ridged and very difficult to remove from the emitters and the Oasis after use if you want. The tubing provided with Oasis is soft and pliable.
Exceeded my expectations August 18, 2008

The product does a great job of watering your plants while you are away. When you first open the box it is a little daunting to see all the hose and little plastic parts. But, if you follow the directions exactly it works like a charm! I have 10 house plants. I set the dial to the slowest feed when I left for a 3 week business trip. When I returned everything was as lush and green and vibrant as before I left. I definitely recommend this product for people that travel a lot and have house plants. On a side note, I noticed that the plants that were closest to the device and first to receive and last to receive water received slightly more than the other plants. I elevated the unit just a couple of inches higher than the minimum directed. Despite this, all the plants thrived while I was away.
