When my husband first set this up some of the drippers worked and some didn't. there are 3 large and 3 small plants. And now no water at all.

Agree with other comment. container has to be higher than the plants in order to allow the water to drain down. I put the plants on the floor and the container on a stand above and it worked great.

The Oasis has to be 2 1/2 feet above the base of your plants. Turn on to your desired setting. Once the water starts dripping, disconnect the hose from any dripper and bleed the line of air. When you disconnect the line, plug one end with your finger until water comes out the other side of the line. Then plug the line to the dripper. The machine should work. Remember, Oasis 2 1/2 feet above plants, make sure the machine is on to your desired setting.

The water container should be at least 5' above the pots to obtain enough pressure to the droppers. The manufacturer says 3', but I don't think that's high enough. I had the same problem until I raised the container.

Raise water container until you get flow (assuming the pipe and drippers are not clogged)

Not sure why it isn't working other than you may have a bad unit. DO both units light up? If not, then it's bad. And I don't mean a good bad. I've had 3 of these so far since one got water in it but have had no other problems. Good luck!

Sorry to say I did not have much luck with them. I found that if I put the water on the ground next to the pot it would draw up the water. I resorted to the orange plastic tips that screw onto plastic bottle. You just poke them in the dirt next to the plant and the soil does the rest. They worked well for a 1 week vacation. Also found on Amazon on prime.

Hi, My husband thinks that you may not get enough pressure or volume of water. However, he also thinks with 1/2 inch pipe, it would work. It's worth a shot. Happy planting.

I have had that problem in the past. I let it dry for a few days and sometimes it works but often times it does not. I just replace the unit. Not a good solution, but it is a solution.

I also used Miracle Grow Potting mix and have repotted to larger once. So far it appears to be low maintance just watering a couple times a week.

My guess would also be the bulb, try both and if it still doesn't work maybe you could take it to a grow shop and have them try one of their working bulbs in it.

I poured about 1/2 cup around the base of the plant - didn't work into the soil, just left it on top and watered. I waited about 8 weeks before I did it again.

Yes I had the exact same problem. It worked for a little over a year and then stopped collecting water. I had it checked out and found out there were holes in the condenser piping and all the freon was gone. This is why it stopped collecting water. It was too expensive to fix so I bought a new one.

This is a novelty item. if you want to water your plants I would recommend getting something that actually works. I would pick up a hose bib timer just set your system on that.

There are 2 large "filters" that water runs over, picking up moisture and is blown out the top. Right now I have the unit turned down about half way and it's putting a gal. and a half of water per day in the air. GREAT unit!!

I put the 2 plants I ordered in the ground after I got them around Father's Day, but they didn't do very well. Disappointingly, they both died. It's a shame; my husband fondly remembered Wintergreen from his youth, and he would have enjoyed seeing it spread.

I live in Texas and my plants went long periods of time without water and didn't do too well. They are relatively drought tollerant, but not for months at a time and they need a little sun as well.

I had this too. I ran 2 full containers of just water through it. It's fine now.

Yes I had the same problem. The first time I tried to brew, only two cups went through and the coffee was cold. Tried once more holding the reservoir and no water would go through. Packed it up and sent it back after 2 tries.

I answered before. Let me expand on my "no". I gave my plants water and air, and kept them in indirect light. Both died; can't understand why.

If the weather is very humid, it may be exceeding the device's ability to self-evaporate the moisture. Try elevating the unit onto a sturdy platform (about 12") and, using the little black hose that attaches at the bottom of the unit, drain the water directly into a bucket (it will fill a 2 gallon bucket in about 5 hours, so you have to watch out for overflow).
