I just bought this reservoir today, however I am not sure exactly what the purpose of this hole on the bottom is for (fittings/tubing won't fit or screw into it and it didn't come with anything to fill it). I attached a couple of pictures and would appreciate it if anyone could tell me what the hole is for. Is it only usable with a D5 pump?
Thanks

EDIT: Had to get a compatible reservoir.

I don't have a d5 pump, and it didn't come with anything to screw into it. Does that mean I can't use it? :(

What size fittings are you using?
They come in different sizes, although I would have expected the reservoir to come with blanking plugs installed.

that kind of res is meant to be used with a D5 pump (save a lot of space, i would gladly get one to replace my Phobya Balancer 150 + Phobya DC12-220 couple :laugh: )

i wonder what the description was, at the place you ordered/got that res... either they didn't specify it was that type of res or the description was not clear.

this one is a conventional (well it's the Balancer 150 i mention)
