AutoPet Pet Oasis (Ergo)
The AutoPet Pet Oasis is a higher end automatic Pet Waterer and Filter. Water drops from the blue jug on top as needed while water circulates below through a small pump which then sends it through an 8 stage filter. The result is a constant flow of filtered water. The idea is that cats are naturally attracted to running water because it will be more fresh than stagnant water.
There are 3 sizes of the Oasis: 2,3 and 5 Gallons. The 2 and 3 Gallon units are good for single or multi-cat homes, and the 3 and 5 Gallon for homes with small or large dogs.
The waterer comes neatly packaged and requires a small amount of assembly.
Contents are: The base unit, Blue water bottle, 1 filter, bowl, gaskets for the bowl connection (Already installed and one extra set under the bowl).
Assembly is easy, simply push the bowl on to the base (Making sure it’s flush with the base) and attach/tighten the 2 screws that come on the bowl. Becareful not to over tighten the screws as they are plastic, but can handle hand tightning.
Installing the filter was easy. After rinsing the filter, it screwed on to the white top very easily and lowered in to the small space in back of the base very easily thanks to a small removable cover. The filter needs to replaced every 45 - 60 days. 
There is a nicely thought out removable screen filter just before the pump that catches hair and large particles. This does need to be checked every so often so the water flow doesn’t slow to a crawl
Finally, simply fill the bottle with water (I used bottled water) and let the water drain in to the base for a minute or so before plugging in the pump. This will prevent the pump from running dry and ruining it.
If anything should go wrong with the unit, or something is broken - It’s ok! There’s plenty of easily replaceable parts that you can buy from the manufacturer or distributors.
Conclusion: This is a nice waterer that deserves more recognition. It’s well built and well designed. It is a little more pricey than other waterers, but the quality and features make it a well worthwhile buy.
