The Oasis Automatic Drip Watering System received top honors at the 2007 National Hardware Show and was recognized as the Product of the Year by Hardware Retailing magazine. The system's water distribution tank avoids the problem of leaky faucets, helping to conserve water and prevent moisture damage. And because Oasis is powered by a single 9V battery that provides enough power to operate the system for up to one year, it helps you save money on electricity bills. 
20 drippers deliver water to your plants when you're away. View larger. | The Claber Oasis Automatic Drip Watering System is easy to install right out of the box--setup takes just minutes. And with its intuitive design that features a single set of controls, the Oasis is a snap to use. Simply place the unit on a sturdy surface that's at least 2-1/2 feet above your tallest pot, insert a 9V battery (not included), install the system's distribution hose and drippers, fill the tank with water and choose your program. It's that easy! An added bonus, an LED signals when the Oasis is in operation or when the battery is low, so you never have to worry about your plants going without the water they need. One 9V battery will power your system for an entire year. Large Tank with Electronic Timer and Four Different Watering Programs
The distribution tank has a capacity of 6.6 gallons and features four convenient watering programs: 10, 20, 30, and 40 days. Each program is designed to deliver a perfectly calibrated amount of water to as many as 20 plants, so you can stop worrying about over- or under-watering. And with a built-in electronic timer and water-saving bi-stable solenoid valve, this unique watering system guarantees efficient delivery of water each and every time you use it. The Oasis precisely measures water to suit your specific needs. Each program waters twice per day, and the amount of water is equally distributed to your plants. The 10-day program delivers 4.05 ounces of water per dripper per day; the 20-day program delivers 2.02 ounces of water per dripper per day; the 30-day program delivers 1.35 ounces of water per dripper per day; and the 40-day program delivers 1.01 ounces of water per dripper per day. Generally speaking, one dripper is sufficient for small and medium plants; two drippers are recommended for larger plants. Easy Cleaning and Storage
Cleaning the Oasis takes just minutes: simply wipe all of the parts with a damp rag and let dry. The internal water filter can also be treated with a mixture of water and distilled vinegar to eliminate any lime scale. The Oasis Self-Watering System's small profile allows for easy storage in a closet or cabinet. Preparing the unit for storage is simple: just remove the battery, drain the water from the tank and hose, clean, dry, and store. The Oasis Automatic Drip Watering System's attractive, modern styling fits well with any décor, and its soft rubber feet keep it secure on any surface and eliminate scratching. To ensure long-lasting use, the Oasis features high-quality materials and construction and is backed by a 2-year warranty. What's in the Box

The product worked well on the first 15 plants, but the last two plants appeared to receive no water and we dry. We were away for 7 days and I set the system for 10 days.
 If you want your plants to die, buy this!!! April 16, 2009

[...]. First of all there is no pump it is gravity feed. So if you were expecting electrically controlled consistent results well then you would be wrong in assuming that this can provide that. Second, the solenoid that runs off the 9v battery that's not included was broke out of the box. I work on small electronics for a living and this is just cheap shotty craftsmanship, the solenoid is the only piece of real value in this product and it costs about 5 bucks retail. I've been operating it manually by adjusting the flow by actually opening the valve to allow the water to flow but to do this with any kind of accuracy is damn near impossible without days of multiple experiments in the position of the solenoid in relation to the drip volume. Without the "electrically" controlled solenoid working you could build this for about 10 bucks at Lowes. Build it your self and avoid the frustration. This is GAR-BAGE`

I have used this product once for an eight day absence. I found the set up process to be a bit tedious but once in place it worked fine. I tried it for three days before leaving on vacation to verify that it worked properly. I am not sure how accurate the water dripping is. On the "10 day" cycle the plants seemed to be overwatered. So before leaving I put it on a "30 day" cycle. Upon my return I found all of my plants healthy but still a bit overwatered. Overall I am pleased with its operation and resulting happy plants.
excellent product February 24, 2009

I have used the Claber Oasis for two winters in my small greenhouse. I use it all winter, not just on vaction. It works great. If the battery dies, it runs continuously, so the plants get all the water at once - I had puddles on the floor. But I turned off the machine until the plants needed water again, changed the battery and all is well. I would think that if the drippers clog due to hard water, as some reviewers have said, you could disconnect them and soak them in warm vinegar overnight.
