Corten steel has an orange-brown patina, giving the water bowl a bold, warm look. The colour is the result of a natural layer of rust. Another name for corten steel is weathering steel: weather conditions have a positive effect on this material.
Corten steel is a metal alloy made by adding copper, phosphorus, silicon, nickel and chromium to iron. When exposed to air, the material forms a protective layer of rust. This natural coating prevents further corrosion, so the water tables will last for many years.

The rust can be fixed by applying Owatrol. This is a penetrating rust inhibitor that forms a protective anti-rust coating. Owatrol protects the product and stops the rust on corten steel flaking off.

Key points of interest:
The Corten steel water table requires regular maintenance. The water table must be completely emptied every 3 months, clean it thoroughly and refill it with clean water. This prevents damage from, for example, rust water. In addition, keep checking the pH value regularly. This should be neutral (7).
See ‘Manual and downloads’ for the water table manual and follow chapter 5: Maintenance for how to properly maintain the water table.
Products should be unpacked immediately after receipt, so that any moisture between the packaging and the product is not trapped. This can cause irregular rust stains.
Water elements should be placed on a solid, level surface.
We do not recommend installing Corten steel within 2 km of a coastline.
During the rusting process, rust water may come off the product.
Drilling or grinding in a manner not prescribed will void the guarantee.
The pH value of the water should be neutral (7) so that the material is not affected.
For use during frost, see ‘Manual and downloads – water table manual’.
