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.

No, it goes about 2/3 of the way up the bowl. It can limit how full you can fill the bowl but if it went all the way to the top the attachments wouldn't fit inside. It's actually the same bowl as the similar size Cuisinart food processor. The main difference is that the motor is stronger and the motor shaft (where the attachments attach) is metal and not plastic.

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.

The one I got didn't work. When I was chopping up veg's, and adding them bit by bit to the bowl sitting on the scale, it turned off in the middle of it, even though there was only a few seconds delay between adding things to the bowl. Then I tried pressing buttons and I wasn't able to get the weight back. It came back as 0. So I returned that scale and bought another of the same model, and it did the same thing.

I just pushed it in. There is some resistance which makes you feel like it is not supposed to be forced in but a hard push should do.

This thing is fantastic. I believe it is the amount of pressure to push the spring inside the housing open for a full flow of water. I used this on my sprinkler system from a rain harvest tank. The first pump I had didn't have enough pressure to open the valve all the way for good flow. Went with a bigger pump and all was well. Hope that helped

Need to make sure bowl is level if it leans forward some it over fills had that problem and used a small shim it worked great

My bowl gets stuck sometimes. Usually a push in the opposite direction of release gets the bowl unstuck. I hear a snap and then the bowl comes out. In my case, I think it gets jammed because of the turning force during juicing. With the auger, Sometimes it is easy for me to take out and sometimes it's more difficult. It has always come out without a problem however. I don't know if it will help your issue but don't be afraid to put your back into it I guess. The machine has proven sturdy for me. Sincerely Erwin

No it's not set up that way. I think you may need the electric portion feeder type. This one only drops when they have eaten everything out of the bowl.

I tried to get mine to spin to figure out the problem. Even with the center piece not pushed down, it will only advance the amount of one feed. I think you may have received a defective unit. I have never had that problem and could not create it.

I am Sorry but i am only familiar with this model since this is my first automatic feeder. Best to contact mfr

The bowl "snaps into" the feeder and doesn't move if it is. It is a bit of a hassle to get the bowl to snap in but give it a shot. If done correctly both the feeder and the tray can be picked up by just lifting the feeder.

Yes, it should have a spring. Otherwise it's not easy to use. Send it back!

If u do buy it make sure u oil the clay feeder springs. If not its a pain to load the first clay and u will have alot break on ya. I oiled mine on first use and now have thrown 1500+ clays on it and not had to oil again

Yes! I just tried mine out last night, and I was surprised at how tough it is to push. I thought it did a pretty good job, but the jury is still out on whether or not I will keep it.

Well, first I use a really big bowl and secondly towards the end of the popping cycle, I tilt it forward to direct everything downwards. A little work....but it works for me.

Yes you just push the lever as usual and it fully flushes. One of the things I like is that the water in the bowl flushes right down. It doesn't flush up and around the bowl leaving germs up there--it flushes right straight down. Then water comes out all around the upper bowl and it flushes down too, leaving the bowl very clean. Have never had a problem with anything not going right away. And we have had this with another toilet where we even had to get the plunger out n work on getting it all flushed. Can't say enough about how satisfactory this Toto toilet is. No we're not getting paid for this! Yes you just push the lever as usual and it fully flushes.
