FAQs
What is the capacity of this reservoir?
The Primrose Stainless Steel Reservoir has a capacity of 72 liters.
What type of water features is this reservoir suitable for?
It is specifically designed for Primrose stainless steel water features but can also accommodate other compatible water features that can stand within its dimensions.
Does the reservoir come with a pump?
No, the reservoir is sold separately and does not include a pump. You will need to provide your own compatible water pump.
How do I clean the brushed stainless steel finish?
Clean with a soft cloth and mild soap or a specialized stainless steel cleaner. Avoid abrasive materials to maintain the brushed finish.
Can I use this reservoir indoors?
While possible, it is designed for outdoor use. Ensure adequate waterproofing and protection for indoor environments, and be mindful of potential splashes.
What are the dimensions of the reservoir?
Specific dimensions are not provided in the product description but it is designed to house various stainless steel water features.
Do I need to use concrete blocks?
Concrete blocks are often used with specific water features to elevate them within the reservoir. Check the instructions for your water feature; they may be provided with the feature or need to be sourced separately.
Troubleshooting
Reservoir not level
Adjust the ground beneath the reservoir until it is perfectly level. This prevents uneven water distribution and potential stress on the water feature.
Water feature pump not working
Check that the pump is fully submerged in water, the power connection is secure, and the pump intake is not blocked. Refer to the pump's manual for specific troubleshooting.
Visible pump or plumbing
Use decorative elements such as pebbles, slate chippings, or appropriate planting around the edges of the reservoir to conceal unsightly components. Ensure ventilation for the pump if necessary.
Algae or slime buildup
Clean the reservoir thoroughly with a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth. Consider using a water feature cleaning solution or algaecide suitable for your specific water feature and pump. Regular cleaning is the best preventative measure.
