There are 4 hidden chambers inside the watering can that are individually selectable by the user. This system is controlled by the funnel/knob which works as a funnel for refilling and as a knob to switch between each chamber.


The watering can is made from plastic injection molded parts, including the knob, mid-plate, main housing, and bottom plate, while chambers are blow-molded. These pieces are assembled using screws, threaded inserts, hose barbs with silicone tubing, and glue.
