FAQs
What are the dimensions of the reservoir?
Please refer to the product specifications for the exact dimensions of the Primrose Stainless Steel Reservoir. These can typically be found on the product page or packaging.
Do I need to buy a pump separately?
This reservoir is a basin; it does not include a pump. You will need to use a pump compatible with your chosen water feature or purchase one separately if it's not included with your water feature kit.
Can I use this reservoir with any water feature?
It is designed specifically for certain Primrose stainless steel water features but can be adapted for others. Ensure your water feature's pump and workings can be safely housed and submerged within the reservoir, and that the reservoir provides sufficient water capacity.
What kind of base should I put the water feature on inside the reservoir?
You can use concrete blocks, bricks, or sturdy, water-safe risers to elevate your water feature inside the reservoir to achieve the desired visual effect and ensure proper water circulation for the pump.
How often should I clean the reservoir?
It is recommended to clean the reservoir periodically, ideally every few weeks, or as needed to remove debris and prevent algae growth. A thorough clean at the end of the season is also advisable.
Is the stainless steel prone to rust?
High-quality stainless steel is highly resistant to rust and corrosion. However, prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or debris can, in rare cases, lead to staining. Regular cleaning helps maintain its appearance.
Can this reservoir be used indoors?
While durable, this reservoir is primarily designed for outdoor use. If used indoors, extreme care must be taken to prevent water spillage, and appropriate protective measures for flooring should be implemented.
Troubleshooting
Water feature pump is not working.
Ensure the pump is fully submerged in water within the reservoir. Check the power connection and ensure it is securely plugged in. Verify that the reservoir has sufficient water to operate the pump without it running dry.
Visible water stains on the stainless steel.
Wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn spots, use a mild, non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner and buff dry with a microfiber cloth.
Uneven water flow from the feature.
Check that the water feature is level. Ensure there are no blockages in the tubing or the feature's outlets. Verify the pump is functioning correctly and providing adequate flow.
Reservoir appears unstable.
Confirm the reservoir is placed on a level and solid surface. If supporting a water feature, ensure any internal blocks or stands are securely positioned and not contributing to instability.
