A reservoir (etymology from French réservoir a "storehouse ) is an artificial lake used to store water. Reservoirs may be created in river valleys by the construction of a dam or may be built by excavation in the ground or by conventional construction techniques such a brickwork or cast concrete.

The term reservoir may also be used to describe underground reservoirs such as an oil or water well.

Is it normal to have water in the reservoir?
Q. I'm new to a whole house soft water system. The system has a tank and a reservoir beside it. I've noticed that the reservoir (where I suppose to put the salt pellets) has water. Is this normal? Should the reservoir have water in it? If so why? If it shouldn't, is there any idea why there is water?

A. I have one that tends to hold about 2-3 inches of water in the bottom of the salt storage area as well. According to what I was told (if I remember it correctly), the "tank" will fill to a certain level to make a salt "brine" solution that will then be circulated through the system (not sure how it works, just know that it does), and that there will always be a little bit of water left-over for the beginning of the next solution. Not sure why this is, or if I remember it correctly, but it seems to my memory that this is what the repair guy from SEARS said when I had nozzles replaced in mine 2 years ago (system is over 10 years old and works great).

Is it necessary to drain both the radiator & the reservoir when you are flushing?
Q. Brown sludgy stuff inside the radiator, the smell of antifreeze & cold air blowing out when I cut the heat on. I have a 1997 Pontiac Bonneville SSE with a Series II 3800 engine. Under the hood, you have your radiator & you have your reservoir.

A. Most overflow containers can be taken off and properly cleaned (Dawn dish detergent, well rinsed) The overflow is probably the worst for oil (oil floats on water and is the first to be pushed into the overflow bottle)
