How does the water indicator work? I am not sure how to know when I need to water.

The indicator stick has a sponge on the bottom and it will expand when saturated. If the little leaves on the indicator stick are even with the top of the top of the hole, you need to water. If the leaves extend above the opening, you are good. Hope this helps.

The water indicator is simply a float that indicates the level of standing water in the bottom of the planter and does not indicate actual soil moisture . The standing water should by design be available to provide moisture to the soil. If the float indicator is floating high enough that the red portion of the indicator is visible then adding additional water is not normally needed .

Honestly, I don't know. I bought it as a present for my daughter, and she just received it. I did not see it myself yet

No there is no indicator, you have to gage it on your own. We could always tell because the water stopped tasting & smelling as clean

I'm not quite sure if I understand your question -- There is a reservoir marker (glass tube) on the right that shows (water level) how much water you have added to the reservoir. The water level in the glass tube (marker) naturally begins to go down as the coffee begins brewing and the carafe fills. But quite honestly often times the clear water in the marker tube is difficult to see and you must look at it at just the right angle. I hope this answered your question.

Mine does exactly the same thing, there is a floating piece in the tank that goes down and triggers a sensor to tell the machine the water is to a certain level. On mine that is when there is about three inches of water in the tank. Yes it seems like it should use that water but it wont. I just learned to keep mine full. My guess is that it is that way becase if you leave the machine on it keeps heating water in the internal tank and this way it has water to replenish the internal tank if it needs it. Either way, your machine is working normaly.

the tip of the water pic turns opening the water flow, when it is completely closed I have no dripping. It also determines the force of the water coming out.

I am not sure the color of light represent what. but after the water level lowed to about a coup of water, it will stop. the time it takes depend on how much water that you begin with.

At the top where the water expulsion ports are, there is a plastic divider that moves back and forth, it can get stuck by leaves or debris. Move it back and forth with your finger a couple times and it will usually work fine after that...

The flashing light means it is empty...or not level...or perhaps needs to be cleaned. I have noticed that after I efill mine, it needs to set for a mniute or two before it starts working again, as if the water needs to settle inside.

If you are using the planter indoors, leave the plugs in place at the bottom so water does not leak to the floor, complete the assembly, add the container type gardening soil then water lightly depending on plants or seeds sown. The water level indicator will rise or fall depending on water level. For outside use, remove the plugs so water can drain away to avoid overwetting the soil. I can't check just now, but believe Keter's website will also have directions. Have fun!

You will not see any light. If u can feel the water flowing out of the top u know it's filtering through water if ur water is staying clear you know it's working.

In addition to the above, keep in mind that water has to pool around the cord. Not a lot, but you need a blob of water about the size of a dime crossing between contact points on the cord to set it off, so it may not detect dripping water unless it's on the floor where the water ends up.

Check the basics, are you sure you put water in the reservoir, or that you put enough water in the reservoir, and that you've waited for the green light to go off (which it does when the water in the reservoir is exhausted). I know at least once i've forgotten to fill it.

You must have 2 cups of water or more. It uses all the water you put in it and does measure the water

The unit comes with a little plastic water measure. Use this to measure the amount of water needed. It works perfectly. Just follow the meaasure accurately. Good luck and greetings from Colombia.EDUARDO

I just push the button and it's on. No problem. After some time, I have to do the same once more.Don't forget there has to be enough water. Anyway, the instructions are not too clear, but I worked it out.Hope to have helped you. Regars, Brigitte

There are 2 settings. It is on until it runs out of water constantly. Or it is on for 30 seconds and then off for 30 seconds until it is out of water.

There are two settings. interval and continuous. Do you have it on the continuous setting? How long does it run before shutting off? If its on continuous and water remains when isdone running, I would say maybe is not working properly.
