Troubleshooting
Planter shows signs of rust or corrosion.
While highly resistant, prolonged exposure in extremely harsh environments could theoretically lead to minor surface changes. Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap. Ensure drainage is adequate to prevent water pooling.
Water is leaking indoors despite the plug being inserted.
Ensure the plug is fully and firmly seated in the drainage hole. Check the plug and the hole for any debris that might be preventing a tight seal. Consider using a sealant if the issue persists.
Planter appears damaged after strong weather.
Inspect for any dents or scratches. The Aluzinc coating offers protection, but significant impacts can cause cosmetic damage. The structural integrity should remain sound.
The finish looks dull or discolored.
Wipe the surface with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals. If discoloration is due to mineral deposits, a gentle vinegar and water solution might help, followed by a thorough rinse.
