what keeps the water bowl from overfilling?

I'm not exactly sure but the clear part detaches, you fill it and screw the cap on and when you turn it upside down it fills the bowl. I think as soon as the water reaches the level of the cap of the water dispenser, it stops it from filling until the dog drinks. Then it replaces the water

That's EASY to answer. The mouth of the upside down jug is lower than the surface of the water in the bowl. When your dog drinks enough from the bowl to lower the surface below the mouth of the jug, air bubbles into the jug and water comes out until the level in the bowl rises enough to prevent additional air from escaping the jug.

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.

There is an adjustment for flow to the bowl itself but I havefound that this compression wheel flow control will collapse the tube completely after a while. This results in no water or little water going to the bowl

When filling the top, make sure the bottom chamber is not full. If you put more water in the top chamber when the bottom is full, you may overfill the bottom chamber.The Berkey Guy

Try filling it less. My epica does not overflow, but I nevervfill it to the line

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

It will not overflow. Water will automatically refill when it is below certain level

We keep the cap off. Once the bowl is full it stops feeding water by itself

No it does not over fill the bowl, without going in to a lot of physics the water never exceeds the level of the bowl.

It's probably because you overfilled it and/or used the wrong paddle. I always try to fill just below the fill line because it doesn't take much to overfill (the line is under the word "MAX").

That only happens if you overfill the container. Make sure to fill it only to the line about 2/3 full. It could be hard to see, but it's there.

There is not an overflow, just the bottom drain. It is a large bowl, a lot of water would need to run to need an overflow

Yes the bottom compartment will fill with water, this is perfectly normal. It should not overflow, unless there is a crack in the base. I hope this helps!

I have slightly overfilled it with no problems. It's fairly easy to see the fill line on the reservoir.

What I found, is that there is some kind of suction that happens. I put a thin washcloth in between (btwn the bottom water vessel & the white ring that sits on top of that). I no longer have the overflow problem. Hope that helps!

I made it work by tightly applying a piece of 2 inch x 7 inch swimming pool "noodle" to the rear of the seat to keep it stable on the porcelain bowl. If you have an elongated bowl, you would be wiser to choose one that has clamps that can be attached to the bowl.

try using less water... I use mine all the time and find it only has issues when it's overfilled
