Nothing in the instructions about the water collection tray and how that functions. What's the point of the extra tray?

The item should have come with fabric straps. These straps are laid in the potting bin and hang out the holes into the water collection tray. The straps suck up the water and carry it to the soil.

I actually never used it. I ended up getting the megahome water distiller instead. It is much more straightforward to use.

Hmm is a drip trap. When you run the streamer water will drip to the tray you will notice the Joggle on the tray that's the area the water gets captured. Unless it's s substantial amount. I how that helps.

I got the tray. The liner isn't available any longer (that was what I was looking for) . The tray isn't as sturdy as the old ones, and the sponges included don't absorb much water. I'd look elsewhere, and finally replaced the entire toilet,getting one with the factory installed liner.

The decor tray is totally removable. It fits inside a recessed portion of the filter (where the water is flowing down). Hope that helps!

The instructions are completely lacking. mer's and T. M. Brendlinger's answers are correct. I was very confused about how much water to put in. I fill it to the top, then put the cylinder in and screw on the metal top. I'm still using cold water, straight from the refrigerator, into the chilled container and shaking it 25-30 times after releasing the C02 filter. Despite there being poor and lacking instructions I still think this is a great product and environmentally one of the most sound ways to enjoy fizzy water. I even transfer the fizzy water to another bottle with a cork stopper and then I always have 2 bottles of fizzy water in the frig ready to go. The instructions are completely lacking. mer's and T. M.

Good Question. At first I was afraid I did something wrong, but that is the purpose of the tray. Some water and coffee will automatically go into the tray.

Base unit has only one tray. A second tray (or third, I think) are options.

We were able to shorten the one we bought up but we have have not purchased additional ones. I like it higher because you can't see as much plumbing.Does anyone know who I can call for customer service-one of the silicone water nipples popped inside the unit and I need help- actually was shipped that way.

Did you find the unit with a threaded waste port? The waste port should be described or at least a photo provided. Just had to RETURN a unit because of that. IF they had included an threaded piece to install instead of that drop tube requiring a second trap - which actually - I measured a trap will not fit into the space. I guess they figured WE would remake all the pipes under OUR sinks to accommodate THEIR disposals OR call a plumber. Remember 'create jobs'!!!

The instruction on the battery holder is misleading. It says "+ side down" But it's written on the wrong side of the holder. Make sure that the holder is positioned so that the water drop image on the front of the holder is oriented correctly and then insert the battery so that the + side is down. It should work properly then. However, I haven't received a signal to change my filter since I bought it two years ago. I do it by calendar. I do not like this system, but tearing it out is more of a chore than I want to tackle. If you find your countertop flooded with water, turn off the water supply under the sink, disconnect the black hose from the filters and blow air through it to clear water build up that causes a siphoning effect. I've had to do that twice.

Makes no difference, just take out the unused cups and watch the water line. Great unit!

The drip tray is built-in so it cannot be removed. This feature allows liquids to evaporate and is not meant to be emptied.

I'm having the same problem and haven't figured it out yet. I've had this skimmer for over a month now and so far, it's useless. If you get a good answer, please let me know.

I would be interested to know what it is for as well! I just lay it in the tray in case it does 'something'! :-\

Yes, the steam and some water is released into the drip tray after each cycle. There is a small round button with a silver top and red sides that sits in the back left corner of the drip tray. As the tray fills with water, the button rises and reveals the red as an indicator showing the tray needs to be emptied. I empty each day after a few cycles since the indicator, although a very nice feature, it is too full for me when I see it.
