Troubleshooting
Water leaks from spout when tilting
Ensure the spout is properly seated or check for any damage to the connection point. Minor adjustments may be needed if the spout is slightly loose.
Handle feels unstable
Inspect the connection points of the handles to the can body. If they appear loose, consult the manufacturer's guidelines for tightening, though this is rare with riveted handles.
Rust spots appearing on the surface
Light rust spots can often be removed with a soft cloth and a mild metal polish or a paste of baking soda and water. For significant rust, re-application of a protective coating might be considered, though this is usually not necessary for functional use.
Pouring is uneven or difficult
Ensure the water level is appropriate for the angle of pouring. Check that the spout is not blocked by debris. Distribute weight evenly by using both handles when pouring.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This watering can requires no assembly. It is ready for immediate use upon purchase.
Compatibility: Suitable for all common garden watering tasks. Can be used with water, liquid fertilizers, or as a planter.
Care:
- Cleaning: Rinse with water after each use. For stubborn dirt, use a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
- Storage: Store in a dry place to prevent rust. If stored outdoors, consider bringing it inside during harsh weather conditions or ensuring it is completely dry.
- Maintenance: Periodically check the handles and spout for any signs of wear. The steel construction may develop a patina over time, which is normal for metal products but can be managed with appropriate care.
