i read a review that said you had to push the spring to get it to fill up the bowl? is this correct? i wanted something that was automatic

The bowl is shaped so that as you turn the reservoir to lock it in place the spring is pushed up. As you unlock it the spring uncoils again to allow the plunger to block the hole so no spillage. Works like a cam.

This water dish is automatic and worked well for me. It was just to small for my German shepherd. The spring is at the bottom and dispenses water automatically to keep it at a high water level. Frank

You dont have to push a spring. The device has a spring on the bottom of the reservoir that automatically releases more water as your dog drinks.

No, water comes out by itself,it's just a spring under the white part that allows water not to spill. It sort of serves as a stopper/ water suspension regulator. Hope it's clear. No, you don't have to push anything other than fill up the white container with the spring on the bottom of it and put it on top of drinking part.

It fills the steel bowl automatically. The weight of the water holder pushes down the spring. When you lift the water holder out of the steel pan, the spring disengages and keeps the water from running on the floor. It is a nice watered.

Once the upper water part is put in place on the bowl the spring is automatically pushed in and it fills the bowl with water to a certain level.

It is automatic - when you connect the white reservoir to the base, the spring at the bottom of the reservoir is automatically pushed in and fills the bowl up (does not overflow). It keeps refilling until the reservoir is empty. If your dog is like mine, though, we have to clean the metal tray pretty much daily from the dirt he eats outside and comes in to drink...but that part is easy.

There's no need to "push the spring" on this canister if there is water in the plastic canister. The bowl should fill up automatically and will stop filling once the stainless steel container is full of water. Once the plastic canister is full of water, check the black lid to be sure the O-ring is in place and the lid is secured correctly on the canister before tipping it over to let water flow into the bowl. We love this water station and have had no issues with it whatsoever. It fills perfectly. I also love the fact that I can thoroughly clean the stainless steel bowl in between fills as my dog can get it pretty dirty, and the canister itself is easy to fill.

No. I like this. It is easy to clean and I had no problems putting this together. A metal bowl fro their water was recommended by my Vet. I recommend this.

This was my issue. The spring is very right. You have to make sure you assembled it correctly with the dial in front. Then you should be able to just lean back, but mine won't. As I said the spring is too tight. I do not know how to contact the company and I can't remove the base to send it back. So i'm stuck.

You have to push down. The machine automatically works when and while you're pushing your hand down. You don't have to exert a lot of pressure.

Fantastic, but, you'll need to work on it. Take the filter holder out of the stem. Punch a few more holes in the bowls "screen". I used a big sewing needle. Has a big bowl but a real screen will solve that. Very good draw & taste plus it stands up without falling over. Can't beat that for 5 bucks!!

Just push it back in. Since it's a spring, it will resist the first two or three pushes, so to start it you have to hold it in with one hand while you push with the other. After about two feet are inside, it begins to coil up and will stop resisting. Not very difficult.

no, it doesn't over fill the bowl. I love this item! I highly recommend it.

Not sure what the issue is. I know we had to follow the path exactly that ours came out of. There were two specific points that had to be connected right for it to work. One was on the spring end and the little s shaped metal piece had to slide in correctly and the other was a clip on the back. Perhaps it is too long? I am not sure what else the issue could be. You might google/you tube to try to make sure it is connected right. Best of Luck

Unfortunately, it does not tuck in with a spring. However, it makes really good rice on the Ultra mode. I am very happy with it.

I think you may have put it together wrong. The spring does not go in the tube, it is on the outside. I ran into this same problem then realized that I had things a little backward. The instructions leave something to be desired, but if you study the picture on the box, it will be clear.

No I would not suggest getting this. It was inexpensive for a reason. It is not heavy duty and you still have to turn the bowl yourself. I would spend a bit more money and get one with a bowl that turns. That is what I thought I was getting.

No. There isn't a spring and the tap/flap does not open and close automatically. There is a small lever that you control.

We did have to push ours - didn't find it a huge inconvenience and it wasn't hard to do - overall it's a nice cash register for use when there is no electricity. Hope this helps.

There is a problem with the spring inside.....it should come back up almost as fast as your hand...Mine work great & would buy one again...you need to return it..must be defective....only other possibility is if you are using a very thick bodied soap....most liquid hand soaps should be fine.Hope this helps.

When you push it in. See YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOWxt8Mgs94

Honestly I powered through and pumped it manually ... but obviously you can get and inflating pump whether those big manual ones which push through more air or an electric one and it should do the same job as long as the needle can fit in the hole.

It is manually fed. I thought I wouldn't like this but this is one of the few things where I like having the ability to manually make sure that it is lined up properly. Also, it is one-way feeding, push it in on the right side and it comes out on the left and you keep feeding it in that direction.

I had the same problem. What I do now..fill the blue bowl (I know, obvious) then place it somewhere firm, like on the counter. Put the bottom and tighten it just till it makes contact, do not over tighten, I use one finger to screw it on. Then press down around the edges of the bottom piece firmly so it slides on and then tighten the rest of the way. But again, do not over tighten, turn just till it makes contact. Hold it over the sink to be sure it does not leak. It will come off almost as easily. Had mine for almost 2 years now and no problems.
