Product Description
The Oasis takes over the task of watering your indoor and greenhouse plants. \r\nbrbr\r\nIt is perfect for homes where the family travels or is absent for long periods of time. \r\nbrbr\r\nThe new Oasis watering system can provide water for up to 20 plants for 40 days! \r\nbrbr\r\nThe Oasis requires no electrical or water hook up. \r\nbrbr\r\nThe watering system runs an entire year off one 9 volt battery (not included).\r\nbrbr\r\nThe internal tanks hold up to 26 quarts. \r\nbrbr\r\nTo operate, simply place the Oasis on a table or shelf about 2 1/2 feet above plants.\r\nbrbr\r\nConnect its water drippers to stakes placed in your plant pots along the 32 foot water circulation tubing. \r\nbrbr\r\nFour different water programs can be used for constant and precise dripping for 10, 20, 30 or 40 day periods.\r\nbrbr\r\nThe LED on the front panel indicates operation.

 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!
 Great while it worked September 10, 2008

My husband and I bought this in June 2006. We used it off an on when we went on trips in 2007. We got it out of storage in August 2008 because we were going on vacation and naturally, it doesn't work anymore. The battery light comes on, but no water comes out. Removed the hoses and retested it - still nothing. The problem seems to be inside the water containment unit itself. Of course, the warrantee is up - it was only good for 2 years. I hate to throw it away, but at the same time I'm not paying money to ship it to Italy either. I checked the Claber website (English version) and there's definitely no help there. Too bad there is no US support for this product.
 Does what it says September 3, 2008

This device was simpler to set up than I expected. And it simply works. No fuss, no muss. Cut the tubes to fit the space between the plants, put the drippers in place and it started doing its job. The only negatives I have is that it has drippers for only up to around 20 plants. I have more.
 Works well September 1, 2008

Even though this is for houseplants we wanted to make sure all of our outside plants didn't completely die when we went on vacation. We had to put all of the plants on a shaded porch and bunch together but the watering system kept them watered just enough to keep them healthy and doing well even in the heat of August.
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.
