Was there something to do with the reservoir?

[Forblaze]

So it looked like I was meant to be able to drain it or something, with the way there are stairs made accessible by lowering the water level. Even with both tanks and every other room completely full though, it still has a bit of water. I see there's like a reserve tank but in the pump room but there doesn't seem to be a way to interact with it.

I thought maybe I was supposed to drain the reservoir to be able to cross it, but I now see the fountain is able to be drained and that side of the room is accessed that way.

Still, is there something more to the reservoir I'm not seeing?

There are easiest ways to empty reservoir, but they require very not-obvious elements to be solved first. In secret place you could find numbers of water level, which are functional for some reservoir activity. (Look around and notice stuff).

Additional tank seems to require energy from boiler room, but I never got these two rooms near each other in 16 hours. Before, I've planned to check that method.

Just to confirm

This does work. The boiler room activates the reserve tank and it can hold an extra 6 units, letting you completely drain the reservoir and generally making it easier to lower the water elsewhere

Theres a room upgrade called electric aquarium that will make your power issues a thing of the past

how do you activate this? i just solved the boiler rooms final puzzle turning it on and have the pump room 2 rooms away, but i can't see a way to flow the water into it

What do you mean by the boiler room's final puzzle?

The pump room is 2 rooms away. Are they connected though? The controls should be on the wall to the right of the reserve tank.

You can completely drain the entire Reservoir. I did so last night.

With the Boiler Room activated and power diverted to the pump room, you can use the middle of the three switches to start draining water into the reserve tank. You will also need to fill everything else up to max I believe, including the fountain, in order to do this (If you have done one other thing, the fountain should not be needed to be drained anymore) Thus allowing you to drain the Reservoir completely, and, access it freely even with a full fountain.

There are, as a matter of fact, 3 different water levels that are relevant to the reservoir.
